They're not liberals, they're Americans that oppose Trump. I should know, I'm one of them.

I happily admit I'm not an authority and I don't really understand what led up to last Tuesday. I live in the Sticks, I don't have tv, and I spend a very small part of my day following national politics. I don't have a handle on Steve's description of the Southern Border, but I am irritated that Mexico is less safe for my tourism.

In 2016 there was no way I was going to vote for that mouthy, crass jackass of a guy from New York and over the years that opinion has only solidified. "The Donald" is the antithesis of Reagan, Eisenhower, Roosevelt, Lincoln and Washington. If you disagree that's fine, I don't see it your way.

We're not liberals, we're conservatives that are appalled by the candidate that wants the Constitution suspended, his Cabinet appointments made without Congressional approval and is interested in Arnold Palmers below the belt.

My paternal grandfather was born in 1899. He farmed truck crops, wore a white shirt to work, shot a Remington Model 8 on big game and a Savage "A5" at ducks and pheasants. Grandpa took his hat off at the door, hung his coat up at the coatrack and never forgave his brother in law for taking a seat before his wife/ grandpa's sister. Tumps behavior, mannerisms and language would have been unforgivable to Grandpa and that why I and we vote the way we do.

Scott,

You, a conservative, are the minority here, whether you support Trump or not. Your position was well-stated and rational and I have no problem with those that disagree with me and state their positions the way you did.

My complaint is that the liberal response is just shrill, without reason.

What happened on Tuesday was similar to what DeSantis said about FL. The line was (paraphrased): FL is where “woke” comes to die. Last week Americans in all walks of life across this country came together to say “woke” needs to be dead throughout America.

No more open borders.
No more death to our children by fentanyl.
No more allowing the cartels to use our country like they are Amazon.
No more boys on girls teams.
No more lawfare.
No more making us sacrifice at home to show the world we are the “greenest.”
No more spending billions over seas while letting our own industrial cities rot.
No more telling Israel that they can’t defeat evil and kick it the hell out of there country any damn way they choose.

My family fought, Quannah Parker to homestead their land, they survived the depression in rags holding onto it, they prospered in traditional America that emerged from WWII up through the early 2000s (the period where little changed in my neck of the woods), and they are sick and tired of all the things I mentioned above.

My 85 year old white advanced degree college educated mom who still lives on a ranch in the middle of nowhere, called me at 1am on Wed Nov the 6th and said: “America survived to fight another day…I can go to bed.”

Let me be the first to say hear hear to the GOP for winning the battle so America can live to fight another day.

Like rubbing a puppy's nose in their own mess.

If you saw the travesty of justice down on this border, you’d feel differently. There was a RR bridge I drove under everyday for 30 driving to my business. After Biden won, there were literally HUNDREDS of rail cars full of chopped up border wall sitting in them.

There was huge contracts that the government had to satisfy, even though no wall was constructed. The lies told about the border wall are amazing. The left didn’t count any wall as new if the new wall was replacing an existing barrier.

So a three strand barded wire fence, was removed and the big panels installed, but it was never counted a new wall.
