It's not really a party when all the focus is on one person. It's true of the GOP with Trump. And it's true of 3rd parties like the Greens.
This is an excellent point. Sure, you can run for president. Who is going to back you up in the house? In the States? In the counties? In the municipalities? In the school boards? In the judiciary? To run a country, you need a bunch of people, not one charismatic person at the top
Come to these terms;
It’s not the GOP or Republican Party, “the party of Lincoln”
Realize… it’s the Trump party.
It’s why the GOP feared Trump leaving.
The GOP ceased to exist officially on January 6, 2021, but really ended summer 2015.
It's a true story. The history of the OR GOP is, um, flush with nutty stories like this.
As a funny side note on the OR GOP antics, it was ten years ago now that GOP Chairman Art Robinson was asking people to send him their piss

and it’s true that there’s a lot of really sloppy economic thinking on the right, but it’s not like the left is free of it either
It’s pretty true. There are countries where the ideological span of the US Democratic Party is the span of ALL the parties while the GOP represents uncharted political territory to the right of everything.
Yeah, that's true. This is just the sort of situation that you'd really want to work out with a 3rd party professional if it's at all possible.
It's been true. Trump is the culmination of those forces in the GOP that have been growing all this time.
It’s true of both of them. It’s not more true of one than the other.
It’s really weird that out of all the GOP SCOTUS justices, the most corrupt one is one not appointed by Trump
It's kind of like the opposite reason Labour never made anywhere near these sorts of agreements with the Greens, because Labour isn't a true left wing party.
I think it's largely true of a lot of the one/two person wargame publishers. It's not really true at all with Warhammer for obvious reasons. (At the indie end, there's also paper minis and terrain for those on limited budgets but I think the serious historical people frown on those).
It's very easy to be a warmonger when your experience with war is doing the bombing not being bombed. (This is true to the vast majority of Americans not just politicians and not really just one party)
i just really like playing with various types of string. and I’m a fire hazard. the cat allegations are true it’s all true
The GOP isn’t the party of law & order.
It’s the party of insurrection & treason.
It’s the party of hypocrisy & greed.
It’s the party of gaslighting & projection.
It’s the party of fake news & propaganda.
It’s the party of cruelty & ignorance.
It’s the party of Trump.

This is why it’s really really bad, for instance, that Democrats have accepted the GOP frame of a border crisis. It’s why the GOP never accepts anything Dems say as true, even easily confirmed facts like “Donald Trump supporters attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6.”
Especially true with dismissive replies like, "It's just Twitter," "It's just TikTok" "It's just YouTube" "It's not real life"
Like???
Do ya not know (outside of the bots) there's a very real person on the other side of the screen? 🙃
The implication is that the Trump family does not do any of this, and it’s true.
That’s all true, but it’s not true of Democrats running for elected office the way it’s true of Republicans
it's not a joke, you could put the line
true, false = false, true
and invert all of the booleans too, it's crazy
NOT THE ONION! Wait, it is The Onion! And it's true! All of it!
The word is out! So happy for @bencollins.bsky.social and the amazing team he put together. So happy for
@theonion.com, which is about to stage a comeback just when we need it the most. So happy for all of us. bsky.app/profile/benc...
It's true that the GOP is the party of landlords, bosses, and investors... It's just that the Democratic Party has to begrudgingly settle for being runner up in that race.
this is true! we all live together in the capitol hill mansion. it's like the park slope mansion but instead of brooklyn podcaster parties it's pnw polyam play parties.
makes sense, you and her are dating (along with katie and kairi in kairi's moderator chateau)
feels like a case of it's not really funny at all because it's true, I fear...
