What went wrong with the Republican party?

Seems like 10 - 20 years ago, being a Republican had some meaning you knew where they stood on things. Then recently it seems like with the Tea party and ultra-religious right they have lost their way. Not even beginning to count the insanity that has happened to them with trump.

I'm prior military and one of the first things that I learned in my younger days is that when there's a republican president, the military always gets a raise. 20 years ago I was a proud republican.

I'm glad I'm not in the military anymore now. I really really wish I could support the right. Some of the ideas from back then are great.

Just nowadays the extremes are winning more and more. The loudest, dumbest voices get the most attention and the reasonable people get bashed for every stupid thing they've ever done.

I guess what I'm saying is I'm really glad I'm not in politics right now. They'd probably tear my life apart.

@TonyNorwenglish Well said sir. People forget that at the end of the day, a politician is a politician. They're all cut from the same cloth. Doesn't really matter which party they align themselves with.

Ultimately, if anyone still believes that we still have a government of "the people", by "the people", for "the people" .... I've got a bridge I want to sell them. 😇

@softspokenman If we're talking about people that go around putting all their faith in career politicians, you could probably sell them the lake along with your property. 😂

@M1keW And you could sell them the bridge to get there. ☺️

@M1keW We'll have to do it fast, before the recession, and we all die and go straight to hell on a super high speed train.

@TonyNorwenglish the president does not control military spending or whether they get a raise. Congress does.
