Trump is a registered Republican. Stop with the No True Scotsman garbage. He's promoting traditional Republican values. The Heritage Foundation, which is behind Project 2025, and the Federalist Society, which is responsible for most of Trump's judicial nominations, are conservative Republican think tanks.
You'd have a point if Trump was running as an independent, but he's not.

@Zonuss Well, that's true.
One obstacle to Project 2025 is his preference for sycophants over ideologues or competent people. The Heritage Foundation hacks being recruited now to staff the civil service in a future Trump administration have to meet the approval of Don Jr. and Eric.

@Zonuss well, it's certainly obvious that he doesn't care about America, democracy, or integrity, so... yes.

I guess I need to point out that even Trump was a Democrat once! 🤷🏻♂️

Fact is what stands as the Republican party is no longer conservatives! In fact the Lincoln project is basically all that's left of true conservatives.
The wackos in project2025 are nothing more than religious fanatics that blindly support their leader, a wishy washy chameleon that will just as soon destroy his followers as his enemies, along with the WHOLE nation!
Guess who set the presidential record in firing his own CONSERVATIVE top advisors? 🤷🏻♂️

@AthrillatheHunt I really don't believe he really was any party affiliation. Whatever suited him best is more like it.
His father was conservative! 🤷🏻♂️

@DeWayfarer every politician is only beholden to themselves , and whatever group funds them. Political affiliation is only a useful tool .
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@DeWayfarer Exactly.
BohemianBabe · M
How is he his own man? When he was president, he did whatever the Heritage Foundation wanted. He was a puppet.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@BohemianBabe Explain. 🤔

Rupulican is just a name on a card. Wackos come in all flavors

@QueenOfZaun both sides do that. Kinda like a “all those OTHER kids are bullies , but my kid is NOT!” Haha
QueenOfZaun · 26-30, F
@AthrillatheHunt I never said both sides didn’t do this. I’m pointing out Patriot’s individual hypocrisy.
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
@QueenOfZaun oh I hear you. he does it for his side , others do it for their side. Seems to be standard operating procedure these days ..

Has he expressed any condolences to the other folks that were shot? I've not seen it reported yet.
NoThanksLeon · M
@Tastyfrzz Trump has. As soon as he got out of the hospital.
windinhishair · 61-69, M
We still don't know motive. That will come out with further investigation.
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
@windinhishair Apparently he is the typical mass shooter type that I've heard so far. Quiet guy who was bullied a lot. He was registered as a Republican but had donated to the Democrats.
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@JimboSaturn He was a member of a local gun club and was wearing a t-shirt from Demolition Ranch, a right-wing company in Texas glorifying guns and explosives.
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
@windinhishair I did hear about the gun club.

Does it or does it not make sense for a future potential paid assassin hired by one political party to register as the opposite political party?
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@NoThanksLeon What. 🤔
NoThanksLeon · M
@Zonuss If I were Obama or Hillary, and I wanted to hire a hit man, wouldn't it make sense that I would want the assassin who I am paying... to register as a Republican?
Askeladd · 31-35, M
Sure, he was a registered republican, but do you believe it was his genuine stance. How many republicans do you know that donate to ActBlue?
Askeladd · 31-35, M
@LeopoldBloom No, I’m dispelling the other narrative being set forth. I’m asking why would he have done that if he were a republican. Haven’t gotten a good answer.
I said everyone is motivated by ideology. Everyone is. That is true. The only way one couldn’t be, would be if true objectivity exists. It doesn’t.

@Askeladd All I can tell you is that there is a group of delegates who feel that Trump is in too far with the "deep state," and want to replace him with General Flynn as the nominee. So it's not inconceivable that someone could have viewed Trump as a leftist and wanted to get rid of him for that reason.
I'm talking about political ideology. Other ideology doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the assassination. For example, if it turns out that Crooks was a Methodist, that doesn't mean he shot Trump for being a Presbyterian. Or if he was a video game enthusiast, or a bicyclist, or a Mozart fanatic. Those could be "ideologies" but irrelevant to why he tried to kill Trump.

@Askeladd he looked more like an occupy college kid than anything resembling a young Republican .
FreestyleArt · 31-35, M
I knew it...the Operation media would twist these kind of stories around to blame maga supporters...
What do you expect?

More than a few register with a party simply to vote against someone in the primary. Crooks also gave Money to a BLM affiliate.
