        Nah, your version implies that there was ever a traditional GOP that was meaningfully different from MAGA

          No, my version is simply the correct one.

          Then again, you sound like a tankie so you’d probably favor a Stalin-esque communist-style rule where the government disappears people on a whim like they had in the Soviet Union.

          With that in mind, I’m surprised you don’t agree with Trump’s policy of sending dissidents to El Salvadorian gulags. Tankies love making dissidents disappear, after all.

            Liberals not descend into lazy insults and strawmen challenge (impossible).

            Good to know the definition of tankie has continued to expand that it now includes “people to the left of George Bush”

              LOL again: I don’t trust any “challenge” offered to me by some godless pinko commie.

              And no, “tankie” doesn’t mean “anyone to the left of Bush”. It means commies who think violence is a solution. That’s why they call them “tankies” - Because they’re the folks who think bringing in tanks and infantry to “bring about the revolution” is a good idea. Disgusting people, really.

                Well you called me a tankie for saying the pre-trump GOP wasn’t meaningfully different from the current one, but “a tankie is any communist who isn’t an obligate pacifist” is also a pretty stupid definition.

                  Well, you’re defending tankies elsewhere in this thread, so there’s that.

                  Let me put it this way: Pretty much the only thing we have in common is the fact that we both think Trump is a fucking wannabe fascist dictator. I reject your entire ideology. Sorry, but communism just doesn’t work.

              Also, I’m not a liberal, I’m a libertarian. Your kind pretty much just want me either dead or gulag’d.
