Once monkeys figured out you can use a stick in an anthill to scrape out yummy goodness they all started worshipping the stick. Christian American republicans aren't so different from monkeys. Now that's what I call evolution!

Santa isn't delivering shit to a house that's brim-full of gun happy lunatics. Christmas magic don't protect him from bullets.
celebrating the birth of Jesus with guns, amen
There are useful Republicans that we should try to take advantage of when we can though. This type of messaging is normally used to imply anything to do with them is evil, so don't vote for anyone who cooperates with them ever. That's dumb though. When they can be used to further our efforts, they should be used. We can still hold them accountable, but take advantage when they give an opening to be exploited. They certainly will.

i like how massie says he wants to release, but doesnt really push hard at all. hes just saving his own skin,, even though hes technically primaried already. all the other republicans that left congress did it so not to hurt the gop as a whole.
I'm no Massie fanboy but
hes just saving his own skin
By tanking his career and ostracizing himself?? He's been pretty consistent in the two things that made him a target for Trump (Epstein and the deficit), it's not like MTG who fled a burning ship.
He's still very much a Republican and would never get my vote because of the rest of his opinions but he's been on the right side of history with those two things from early on.
It's a low bar but he pushed harder than 99% of politicians on either side.
It's super normal to take an xmas photo like this. And to teach your kids that it's normal. None of them will grow up to be super messed up or commit horrible crimes.
Put him in the category of useful idiot just like MTG
Right? No politician is your ally, they're all just individual people. Sometimes the things those people do benefit you, sometimes they don't. What matters is that you take advantage of the actions that benefit you when they happen to bubble up by coincidence. When the worst people you know start fighting with each other, for the love of God don't get in their way.
"This fat disorderly hick likely doesn't even realize his victory speech was littered with logical fallacies" the liberal savior thought to theyself. This last chance at judgement brought them an immense, smug satisfaction, a hearty reminder of all the witty tweets they'd posted, slamming prominent and unknown conservatives alike. Their pathetic clitty bulged against its cage, precum oozing with each imagined display of intellectual superiority.
The militia member was morbidly obese, his ICE tactical gear struggled to contain his greasy dough shaped mass. He barked, "Kneel down libcuck".
A sharp gust of wind brought a stinging chill out of the ditch, the pungent smell of earth inspiring their eternal liberal spirit. They assertively whispered "Guns should be more heavily regulated and require..."
A sharp crack echoed amongst the trees, their body made a heavy yet muffled thud as it hit the bottom of a makeshift trench that doubled as a latrine for the 'cosplaying' soldiers.
They went to capitalist heaven and spent eternity in a cubicle donated by AIPAC. In their spare time they wrote strongly worded letters to homosexual jesus protesting Epstein's placement on a yacht.
About $100k of iron in that pic (assuming the 60/uzi/Thompson are all fully functional and not just replica/semi auto.
I have mine because they have theirs.
and no braincell in between them, they sold it to buy all those guns.
Go far enough left and keep your guns. Also, blessing Chairman Fred and Comrade Newton.
And who profits but the gun manufacturers, while net societal safety drops.
I wasn't going to share the story because I felt it too dark. But a coworker years ago told me the first people he would kill in the "shit hits the fan" scenario is his neighbors because they would be the first to ask for help/target him.
The fact that a single nut job is out there thinking this was enough to adjust my stance on owning fire arms.
Well you may want to look up how gun control came to be a talking point, and why Fred Hampton was viewed as such a threat, he was murdered in his bed, next to his pregnant, sleeping wife (hint: youth breakfast and exercise program).
Gun manufacturers are a part of society, and a very rich part.
The entire world demands guns, and the USA provides. More than the top six suppliers combined (including China and Russia).
Every state in the union is part of the arms industry. Even Hawaii.
Honestly, that's much lower than I expected. Knowing very little about firearm costs (haven't shot anything since college), I would have guessed probably double that.
That picture is terrifying.
You could probably take them all out with a Glock. I doubt they ever train with them, it’s all show.
Typical American family portrait. I think they lend those to you at Sears if you forget to bring your own.
Mom's got her's pointed right at the son she hates
Id get behind this one if it didnt just come across like shouting at Middle Easterners.
On the other hand, I'd quite happy with adapting the other one to refer to Conservatives instead.
Assigned Republican At Birth?
Yep, don't vote for them, but thank them for at least doing the bare minimum.
There are strategic moments that make sense. Liz Cheney (with no actual policy compromises) saying basically that, "I'm a Republican but Trump is a national security threat so I'm voting Harris" is strategically sound. Those who know Trump is a threat were already voting Democrat. Those on the fence or sitting out may have been persuaded by this bipartisan act (even though we all know we wouldn't want Cheney running domestic policy).
With respect to Massie, I'm glad he has carved out a sliver of morality on this one issue because Good vs. Bad isn't boolean; it's a gradient.
That said, there isn't a race in the country for these midterms where the Republican is better than the Democrat on the ballot.
(Also, Massie like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger before him, already lost his Primaries so won't be in Congress anyway next year)
There's nothing wrong with responsible gun ownership. The only people who have a problem with the citizens arming themselves are liberals and neoliberals. Fascists love when neoliberals taking guns away from the people. It makes it easier for fascists to take guns away from the people.
Thomas Massie is an ally. Someone who disagrees with you on somethings but will still work together with you on a common goal is precisely what an ally is.
