    Imagine buying a stock, then learning the seller changed his mind and canceled the transaction, without consequence.

    Imagine running a storefront with a landlord who raised the rent whenever he felt like it, regardless of what the lease stipulated.

    Imagine receiving a patent for a new invention that competitors could copy anyway, cashing in on your breakthrough without investing any of the hard work.

    This is the sort of chaos the Republican party—once, supposedly, the party of business—now advocates in its effort to overturn the legitimate election of incoming President Joe Biden. When Congress counts the presidential electoral votes on January 6, at least a dozen Republican senators and more than 100 Republican members of the House plan to challenge the vote tallies in swing states that Biden won, giving him the presidency. Every state ran a free and fair election, with no meaningful disruptions or illegalities. Yet Republicans, led by a petulant President Trump, want to overturn the results anyway, because they don’t like the outcome. The rules don’t matter.

    How true is this. The party of personal responsibility, is not the party of cheating.
    They like to blame others for cheating. But have never offered any proof.

    We have a phone call of a president, who is telling the SoS of a State to find 11,780 votes, just recalculate.

    Will never happen every CEO loves those tax breaks, loop holes, and perks!
    The GOP loves to give a helping hand to those who dont need it!

    Imagine a party which didn't care about election integrity, honest accurate ballot counts, or voter disenfranchisement as long as their guy won.

    Imagine a party which would put race and gender above merit.

    Imagine working hard only to be taxed to give money to people who didn't work as hard.

    Imagine a party which would support kneeling for the anthem, with supporters who happily burn the flag.

    Imagine building up your business only to see it destroyed by rioters, and seeing that same rioting enabled and supported by one political party.

    Imagine a party which would tell police to stand down in riot situations, and would turn away federal help to control the riots.

    Imagine loving your country and having to watch as its history is rewritten and monuments are destroyed, and seeing one party endorsing this.

    Imagine a party which doesn't support law enforcement, and wants to defund the police.

    Imagine a party which wants to forgive college student debt (paying for it with your money instead!), when you either worked hard to pay for your own college, or didn't go to college at all because you couldn't afford it.

    Imagine politicians so wealthy they laugh at tax cuts as "crumbs".

    Imagine a party which would make a martyr of a thug like George Floyd only because he fit into their "anti cop" narrative.


    Can we defund the Democrat party too?

    The basic premise of your complaint is of your own manufacture. Your assertion that "every state ran a free and fair election" is under review, regardless of your personal feelz. so, like a football team who know that they got away with a bad call from the refs, you're simply trying to run the next play before the review booth can act. That's usually called cheating. And here you are, front and centre.

    Since the advent of modern government which realized that tariffs alone could not raise the funds necessary to pay for a world class military or internal government needs lighter level of taxation became a necessity.
    No one likes but neither party no matter if they help all parts of govermerment Senate , House, Oval Office never closed out loopholes, inholes , outholes, tax breaks or did away with lobbyists no matter how corrupt lobbyists were. The GOP is closer to corporate America but the Democrats have not taken the pig trough of public funds away from Big Business That includes big Pharma, big agriculture etc. The D mocrats make more noise about it the GOP just chalks it up as a cost of doing business of government.

    I don't see any desire by corporate america to defund the repubs. Not when they still pander to their interests.

    I'm glad you put Imagine in front of everything, because imagining most of that nonsense is the only way any of it becomes true. Your first sentence delving head first into Q-Anon insanity, the party you're screaming at in is the GOP in those states you take issue with.

    How dare you accuse the Trump supporter SoS in Georgia of not caring about election integrity.

    What are we buckling up for? Y’all keep screaming everything is right around the corner and yet you keep being shut down by your own judges. Your own DOJ. Your own election officials. Many of your own party leaders.

    What do you believe is coming?
    How disappointed will you be when it never does?

    The GOP is the only party that will save this country from itself. I am a conservative with many issues with the GOP, but I can think of nothing to like about the Democrats! NOTHING!

    Few people do, including just about every liberal I've ever encountered. They usually don't have any clue what goes into starting and running a business successfully either.

    Didn't corporate America already defund the GOP?

    "Overall, Democratic candidates and groups have spent $6.9 billion, compared to $3.8 billion for Republicans."

    I don't trust our intelligence services. I don't trust our MSM. I don't trust our universities. I don't trust Hollywood. I don't trust our bureaucracy. I don't trust the federal government. I especially don't trust the billionaires controlling each of those institutions. The average cow trusts the farmer and it always turns out the same for the cow.

    In any event, they certainly have successfully manufactured your consent, the only thing they have manufactured in me is contempt. What they did to America in the past 50 years is irreversible and unrecoverable.

    Big Crony Capitalist Companies favor the Democratic Party. Wall Street gives more to Democrats by a mile... as does Big Tech. The whole premise of the thread is a joke.

    Should defund the democrat party.

    Imagine being white, and not having to deal with the democrat supported racism towards you.

    Imagine being male, and not having the democrat supported sexism towards you.

    Imagine when people riot and loot, you actually call it rioting and looting without being called a racist.

    Imagine the word racist actually having meaning again.

    Imagine getting the stimulus without poison pills in it the dems constantly put in.

    Imagine actually having to provide evidence of something before claiming its true.

    Imagine imagine imagine.

    All of the above is possible without dems.

    Also, this thread is based on a lie anyways.

    Dems receive far more than republicans from rich donors.

    Dems are genuinely the part of the very rich, and very poor.

    Yet they have the ignorant portion of their base convinced they are the good guys lol.

    Imagine being that ignorant.
