If Republicans aren't MAGA, why did the overwhelming majority (95%) vote to support a literal coup to over turn the Constitution and erase Americans' right to vote and install themselves to power.

And even after Jan. 6, Republicans purged and punished Mike Pence for refusing to support the insurrection and purged and fought against the 10 Republicans that refused to support the MAGA coup?

Republicans blame the FBI, they blame and hate the Democrats, they hate and blame MAGA and say it doesn't represent them at all.

We're all to vlame, we're all bad. Everyone is to blame except for the Republicans Party.

Yet the Republican Party openly supported the coup and threw away every chance to do the right thing.

The Republicans installed their judges to the Supreme Court and gave Trump legal immunity to commit any crime as President with total freedom.

**If Republicans don't support MAGA, they could impeach and convict the President and his cabinet right now. The Dems are ready. The only thing stopping all of us from ending this is Republican voters and their elected representatives **

It almost seems like Republican politicians are doing extremely unpopular things - like blocking the Epstein Law - and then feeds their followers propaganda blaming it on everyone else.

Republicans seem to be trying to blame MAGA for all the bad the GOP is doing to all of us - but defend the GOP and insist they have no role or responsibility.

**What is stopping even a few sane Republicans from voting with Dems to impeach and convict TODAY? **

That's essentially the pattern of all modern rightwing politics.

The rightwing leader rapes dozens of girls, committing an atrocity so obscene and evil and so openly and so undeniably - that the only way rightwing media can justify voting for this GOP Cult is by saying it's not real, and all the raping and stealing and open Russian collusion and crashing economy is "liberal fake news because they hate our God King so much it's so unfair both sides are the same what about antifah and the Far Left they're fascist rapist terrorist traitors just like us!!!"

The more Republicans hurt and destroy, the more everyone is horrified, the harder the Republican slaves fight to defend the party and blame their enemies.

Democrats pushed for raising taxes on the ultra rich and affordable childcare and investing in infrastructure. It's not that complicated.

REpublicans fought to block all of that and fight to hide the Epstein Files and overthrow elections so they can rule over us as fascist God Kings forever against all our consent and basically just enslave America.

That's what a fascist cult is, utter destruction of America and reducing Americans to slaves. That's what rightwing conservatism is.

And it's so horrible, Republican followers have been groomed to tie their personal identies to the GOP Cult, so the worse the GOP death cult gets, the harder their cultists fight to deny it and block out reality and punish all of us for criticizing their rightwing rape and treason cult.

Hey everyone,

Are you hoping to get out this weekend and enjoy the warm weather and maybe make some new friends?

Then come by the Hot Sands beach and say "Hi!"

I'm organizing a casual get together and everyone is welcome.

We'll be located south of the Sails Fountains and just north of the bridge to West K.

I'm hoping to be there by 2pm this Saturday, July 25 and spend a few hours.

Everyone of all ages is welcome! I'm a 34-year-old man myself, but I'm not sure who will be showing up or how old they are.

I'll be bringing a chair and my kayak and I also have an electronic inflator that attaches to my car that anyone can use if needed.

Good idea to bring water and maybe something to eat.

If anyone needs help finding our group on Saturday, can message me on this app, and I'll be keep checking my Reddit and responding to messages.

Hope to see you this Saturday!

Note I'm reposting this because my first post was at the crack of dawn when everyone is asleep or getting ready for work

Hey guys!

Are you looking for a way to make friends in Kelowna and meet new people?

Then look no further!

I'm organizing a casual meet-up this Satruday (Jul 11) at 2pm at the fountains on Bernard Ave. by the water.

The address is 210 Bernard Ave.

I was inspired by another post on this subreddit about the challenge of meeting people and making friends here.

If anyone interested, you can just show up or if you message me your phone number, I can start a group text using Whatsapp so we can coordinate.

Looking forward to meeting you all on Saturday!

This is super casual, we'll probably go for a walk and get like ice teas or something.

As in, by deliberately failing and doing horrifying things like the Jan. 6 coup and pardoning all the violent torturers, raping at least dozens of girls, threatening to invade and rule over Canadians and Greenlanders against their consent - Republican politicians do this stuff to generate negative publicity so when their actions are reported in the news, they can say "See! Look at how journalists are biased and unfair against Trump! They're so unfair!"

It's the President's sworn duty to defend the Constitution and safeguard the Capitol and protect the Jan. 6 election certification.

The Republicans could have walked away in 2020 and peacefully transferred power to Biden like has been done for 250 years.

But by choosing to fight using any means, including threatening election officials with jail and rape and murder and using villent terrorism to physically stop Congress from certifying the election to "overturn" the Constitution and install Trunp as dictator - doing something so extreme and so openly - Republicans chose to create a disaster.

So Trump and the Republican Leaders deliberately failed very publicly confessed to enjoying the entire event.

And then all the Republican Trump followers as a singular entity all deny the coup their leader brags about - and they all blame the violence and terrorism Trump caused on his enemies.

Isn't that the main strategy that has defined Republican culture for the past 10 years.

Or like the reflecting pool. Trump and Republicans fucked up the pool, caused a relatively minor disaster.

But rather than take any responsibility, Republicans are now all blaming their fuck up on "Demonrats" and "antifah saboteurs".

And all Republicans are jist on board with all pfnthis, and they viciously mock attack and scream hatred at anyone who dares out loyalty to America above loyalty to Donald Trump and his GOP.

And since I know Republican Trump followers are going to attack me and accuse me of being an insane liar, I'll include some first hand witness evidence by people at the Capitol about what happened that day.

From VOA which Republicans have attacked and defunded to silence their reporting:

During the three and a half hour hearing, U.S. Capitol Police officer Aquilino Gonell testified, “The rioters called me a 'traitor,' a 'disgrace,' and shouted that I (an Army veteran and police officer) should be 'executed.'”

“What we were subjected to that day was like something from a medieval battlefield,” Gonell said. “We fought hand-to-hand and inch-by-inch to prevent an invasion of the Capitol by a violent mob intent on subverting our democratic process.”

“I thought, “This is how I’m going to die,’” he said.

Washington police officer Michael Fanone told lawmakers, “I was grabbed, beaten, tased, all while being called a traitor to my country. I was at risk of being stripped of and killed with my own firearm.”

“I was electrocuted again and again and again with a taser,” he recalled. “I'm sure I was screaming but I don't think I could hear even my own voice.”

From Republican Senate Leader:

January 6th was a disgrace.

American citizens attacked their own government. They used terrorism to try to stop a specific piece of democratic business they did not like.

“Fellow Americans beat and bloodied our own police. They stormed the Senate floor. They tried to hunt down the Speaker of the House. They built a gallows and chanted about murdering the vice president.

“They did this because they had been fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on Earth – because he was angry he’d lost an election.

She wants to go out and give sandwiches. Which is very sweet and thoughtful, but I worry for her safety.

Are there any ways she can help people that are safe?

She will be living in West K, but spends some time on the east side too.

Note: To those saying this is a rant, I know a lot of commenters are going to bring up a lot of common Republican denials and deflections about the Jan. 6 attack that are all frankly bunk, and I may as well dispel them now before people start pushing "he said be peaceful! The FBI did it! Nancy Pelosi is to blame! There was no coup!"

Scapegoating others for the actions of President Trump is not acceptable. He is the President, he is responsible for his actions. And every person has the right to question the President's actions because it affects all our lives.

You can't just say he didn't do it or there wasn't a coup because it casts Trump and his GOP in a negative light. That's his fault and the consquences of his choices.

I'm not accepting any argument that he isn't responsible. The reality of Jan. 6 and President Trump's responsibility is not a debatable topic - we can't debate reality. It just is, he doesn't even seem to mind admitting his support for everything his followers did that day.

If you want to argue or "debate" that he didn't do it, I'm not interested. There is no argument anyone can make that will change the facts of what happened and the Republican Party's sole responsibility for an overt terrorist attacking the US Capitol to "overturn" the Constitution, using violence to stop an election from occurring.

Question: Did President Trump terrorist attacking the Capitol to hang Congress and overturn the election actually make him more popular, because it forces the Republican Party followers to defend him and deny the event and blame his enemies?

Main Body: In the sense that Jan. 6 was strategically beneficial to President Trump and the Republican Party because they gained in popularity after the event and all Republican followers are forced to perpetually deny the coup.

President Trump and his Republican Party won 65M votes in 2016, 74M in 2020, and 77M in 2024.

He gained votes after Jan. 6, which encourages his coup. If he lost votes after Jan. 6, that would discourage the GOP from attempting more coups and it would force a change in the party.

Unfortunately, Republicans only became more loyal and devoted to Donald Trump after he pretty openly deliberately failed the core function of his job.

In effect, by doing bad things, President Trump and the Republicans create negative publicity and outrage - and that allows them to drive their narrative that everyone is "biased" against them and their leader.

I don't see why Republican followers would believe the FBI instigated the Jan. 6 attack - but for some reason can't even imagine that President Trump actually was responsible.

Isn't that really what has driven this entire schism?

From 2016 when all those rape victims came forward and Republican followers closed ranks around their politicians and defended them and blamed the liberal media or justified it as "both sides do it."

But even Clinton never got rape and assault accusations from dozens and dozens of women, and those women were never all attacked in rallies and blamed and even investigated by the Attorney General as criminals for speaking out against the leader.

My question simply is doesn't Republican culture essentially reward President Trump for failure and atrocious behavior?

Because then it drives this notion that everyone is just "liberal" and watching too much CNN.

By doing extremely bad things that no American or sane human being could possibly ever support - if Republican politicians do these things, then anyone who still calls themselves a Republican has to deny their leader's betrayals because otherwise why would anyone be a Republican?

To be a Republican, you have to deny President Trump tried to murder his own Vice President and the newly elected Congress in broad daylight and watched the whole thing on TV even while people were calling him pleading begging to end the attack and send his Republican followers home.

The texts were even made public.

But if you're a Republican, for the rest of your life you will have to insist there is no way President Trump and the Republicans tried to execute Congress and attempt a fascist coup.

Even while President Trump openly brags about it as his greatest accomplishment, pardons all the violent terrorists who tortured the Capitol Police and filmed it while literally chanting "TRUMP SENT US! WHERE DO THEY COUNT THE VOTES? HANG MIKE PENCE!"

The one man who is singularly most responsible for the worst attack on the Capitol in over 200 years was not Al Qaeda or the Russians, but Republican Party Leader? And he openly admits and his Republican followers still reelected and maintain this permanent state of denial.

But doesn't that mean Republican politicians can do literally anything?

Because of Republican followers won't hold their politicians accountable for literal rape pedophilia insurrection coup foreign collusion and weaponizing the government to silence political rape victims - doesn't that just encourage President Trump and the Republican politicians to just keep going and escalating?

I know it's impossible to know how things would be different.

But imagine Al Gore and the Dems won in 2000 instead of Bush and the Republicans - and we had 26 years straight where America had Dem presidencies and control of Congress.

What would America be like and would it be better off than if the Republicans won?

A few things I think would be different:

Imagine if Al Gore won and America spent the last 26 years continuously working with the rest of humanity, thr Kyoto Protocol, to lower climate change.

Instead, Bush and the Republicans rejected climate change as a liberal fake news hoax, and they fought against the rest of humanity that was organizing the fight at the time.

The world would be literally less hot right now if we'd worked with Gore instead of falling for Republican mind controll propaganda fed through Rush Limbaugh and their other groomers.

Obama was the first president in history to reduce climate change emissions. His successes were partially reversed by Republicans. Biden lowered emissions even more, but as soon as Republicans get power they use it to undo everything.

Also If Al Gore and the Dems had won, they wouldn't have deregulated the markets like Bush and the GOP famously did - which of course led to the economic collapse that Bush and the Republicans left us.

Al Gore and the Dems would have avoided the direct cause of the crash that devastated all our lives.

Also in 2000, America had a budget surplus that Al Gore created with Clinton (and the Reps in Congress before they turned to total opposition and obstruction as their default tactic to win elections).

We don't know for certain if Al Gore would have kept his own surplus. But even if he didn't, America wouldn't have gone into debt over billions in payouts to the ultra rich Bush and Trump passed.

And of course, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars would have gone vastly different if they happened at all.

911 would still have happened thanks in part to failures of Clinton and Gore to deal with Bin Laden before.

But reasonable to assume Al Gore wouldn't have also done Bush and the Republicans "chosen by God to nation build" bs.

Gore could have gone Obama's route and use targeted strikes, bombings and assassinations rather than 20+ year wars costing trillions in lives plus sacrifices from soldiers.

Al Gore and people like Clinton were also loyal supporters of Nato.

If Dems won, they wouldn't be copying Russia and threatening to invade Canada and Greenland and dissolve Nato and impossinf tariffs on allies to drive up cost of living and recession.

It seems genuinely impossible to imagine any case where electing Republicans was ever the smart sane rational choice.

Either voting Democrat or just staying home is one thing. Voting Republican just guarantees worse outcomes for 99% of us

Why are Republicans allowed to claim BLM and Antifah are guilty of causing all riots in America.

You're allowed to criticize BLM, but if you blame Republicans for their actions - i.e. coups and guarding the Republican Epstein Pedophile file coverup, driving up the cost of living to overthrow American democracy and install GOP politicians to power.

But for some curious reason, blaming BLM for being all violent rioters is ok.

But correctly blaming Republicans for bring an anti Constitution anti life pro rape pro death cult - then you're attacked as radical and insane.

Like did the BLM cult master also Tweet how much they loved the riots and demanded their BLM slaves keep fighting?

Who even is the God Emperor of the BLM cultists then?

With Jan. 6, we succeffulyy captured and jailed hundreds of violent Republican slaves. They all confessed they were torturing Capitol Police to attempt a coup to overthrow the Constitution for Trump.

Yet all Republican followers will say the worst most violent degrading insults against anyone who blames the GOP for treason, mass pedophilia coverups and crashing the economy.

Yet BLM is held to an infinitely higher standard than Republican politicians and their President Master King.

How can Republicans blame BLM, but fhen act highly absuive and rapy against anyone who dares blame the GOP for their treason pedo protection and coups?

Why is it OK to claim with no evidence that BLM systematically planned violent riots.

But then Republican politician cult leaders systematically planned an entire coup, openly sent their GOP slaves to attack and die.

Hell the Republican cult master was caught on tape threatening election officials to give him more votes to overturn the election.

And yet Republicans will say you're insane and propandized if you blame Trump and the GOP rapists for their actions.

Trump says black people are stealing and eating pets - and all Republicans act like good little slaves and obey.

But we say Republicans are pedop worshippers traitors anti American cultists - and suddenly that's wrong.

The President saying black people are deranged monsters who steal and eat house pets - all Republicans celebrate and support master and attack and blame you for saying the GOP is an insane racist cult.

But Republicans will accuse us of the most insane vile crimes and use that as justification for their Jan. 6 coup.

Why is BLM blamed for all riots in America, but if you say Republicans are guilty for their coups, you are attacked and demonized.

If Republicans aren't a cult of slaves that worship pedophiles as Gods, why would they all defend Trump and the GOP for Jan. 6, insist we're all insane leftists.

But then they all blame BLM and the FBI for instigating a coup.

Why are Republicans allowed to accuse the FBI of instigating Jan. 6?

If you blame the FBI, Republicans will praise you and tell you you're being a good little slave boy.

But if you blame Trump for the attack, ALL Republicans as a massive freak cult will all abuse you and scream hatred.

But if we blame Trump and his GOP slave cult for Jan. 6, we're immediately accused of being insane?

Why is it ok to blame the FBI of orchestrating a bloody violent coup attempt. But blaming the President Republicans have declared it an insane unforgivable sin.

So even though Trump openly caused Jan. 6 and his slaves were literally screaming glory to Trump - apparently you're an insane monster if you don't blame innocent FBI agents for sending Trump's slaves to habg everybody.

Republicans treat us worse than they treat literal insurrectionists and child rapists

Imagine if the leader of BLM had 77 million Republicans who would do his bidding and protect him and blame all his pedophilia and treason on the lubturd media.

Every single Republican believer I speak to all together deny the Jan. 6 coup attempt as fake news anf blame the FBI and BLM and Antifah for the GOPs terrorist attack on our Capitol.

What you call this? Mind control? Brainwashing?

I mean, the fact Republican politicians can openly fight like hell to rape the Constitution to death - and all 77 millipn Republicans as a collective cult fight together to endlessly deny Jan. 6.

And why do they do it?

Why would an American side with trump and the GOP over our country Constitution and 250 years of democracy?

If Republican followers will defend the GOP for Jan. 6, isn't that proof all Republicans are a mass brainwashed cult that is being groomed to protrct trump at all costs?

We're facing a deadly situation where Republican cult masters openly demand third terms, protecting pedophiles and crashjng this economy.

And all Republican followers will always defend Trump and blame his actions on liberals and journalists and black people eating dogs and cats

Isn't this absolute proof that Republicans are a cult of brainwashed slaves that exist soley to deny Jan. 6 and blame the coups on everyone else?

No there is NO debate. This is just what happened.

It's not liberal news. It's not propaganda. It's not "both sides but leftists are crazy also what about antifahs blms emails?"

NO.

The Republican Party is the greatest threat to all American lives and all democracies that we have ever faced.

I'm not going to debate these people or fight them. I'll be respectful if they are.

But it is a fact. The Republican leader openly did it, celebrates it as his greatest accomplishment and released hundreds of convicted criminals, many who committed violent torture against Capitol Police in a deliberate plot to stop the election.

He doesn't even try to hide how much he loved it! He claims it was greatest accomplishment. Everyone involved, all the witnesses and victims and even the convicted terrorists all say he is responsible. Even his own depraved Republican cultists admit he did it.

This not that hard to understand. The game Republican cult followers play where they constantly act confused and deny and deflect is FINISHED.

It's not complicated. The President openly plotted sabotage the election outcome at all costs, going so far as to stage an elaborate terrorist attack on Congress to stop them from certifying the election so he could overturn the result and stay in power forever like some kind of God King.

It's so evil and so insane and so beyond anything we've EVER seen in 250 years of American history. The world is shaken by this fucking insane cult.

And having to argue with people consumed by Republican cultist propaganda is the absolute worst part.

Every god damn day this freak openly sabotages us.

This is not a political disagreement. We are not leftists fighting rightwing conservatives.

This is humanity under assault by this violent insane fascist brainwashing terrorist pedophile-protecting Trump Cult. And the weird millions of men who just cling to this this man and this GOP cult and protect it at all costs even against their own country and kin.

The Republican Party. All my life this thing has cast a dark shadow over mine and all of ours lives.

The Afghanistan and Iraq endless wars they instigated. The 2009 crash they left us to clean up while they obstructed us at every chance to slow the recovery.

The Republican Party is the most deadly threat to American lives and the future of all democracies.

I remember in 2000 when Al Gore said we had to deal with climate change or we'd be dooming the world and our children to a worse future.

The Republicans won. Bush won. And they fought against the world to stop us from stopping climate change.

And they sent us on this insane nightmarish dissent into Hell.

Obama pulled us out of the Bush tailspin and with Biden gave us 10 years of growth and prosperity. It wasn't perfect, but the GOP spent every second blocking government action that would benefit Americans.

But this Trump shit is a new special kind of Hell. It's feels like science fiction - surreal.

He's openly talking about his coup plans, how he wants desperately to violate the Constitution so he can rule over Americans forever as some kind of God King.

And Republicans and rightwing conservative cult followers are all just denying it, endlessly fighting against all of us to protect this one insane cult of politicians and it's deranged God Head.

The Republican Party is now purely trying to cause mass harm to Americans so they can then "debate" us and complain we are "biased" against their vapid cult.

The fact in 10 years from 2016 to 2026 we still haven't been able to break through to Republican voters is scary and suggests they will fight for this vile insurrectionist cult forever.
