Little by little the news is that there is trouble brewing within the GOP….some say it is for the soul of the party….there also seems to be cracks forming in the undying support for Donny and his brand stupid.
GOP Townhalls are becoming contentious….the people are staring to fight back against the policies of the party….
Shouts of “Vote him out!” echoed through a packed Nebraska town hall on Monday as Rep. Mike Flood struggled to defend President Trump’s policy and tax bill—and faced an audience ready to challenge every word. About 750 attendees made their dissatisfaction clear during the event at Kimball Hall in Lincoln, descending into heckling and loud boos as the Republican attempted to explain provisions of the so-called “big, beautiful bill,” particularly its changes to health care and Medicaid. As audience members questioned how the Republican could vote to take health care away from Nebraskans, Flood sought to address what he described as misinformation about the bill, per ABC News.
He tried to walk through health care aspects, emphasizing that the bill’s Medicaid changes wouldn’t affect disabled individuals, seniors, pregnant people, or anyone considered vulnerable. A key flashpoint was the bill’s stance on Medicaid coverage for working-age adults. “If you are able to work, and you’re 28 years old and you choose not to work, you don’t get free health care in America. If you are in this country illegally, you do not get free health care in America,” Flood said, drawing a vocal negative reaction.
Discussion turned heated again as tax policy came up. While Flood highlighted provisions like no tax on tips or overtime and pitched the law as a middle-class tax cut, audience members instead called for higher taxes on the wealthy and repeatedly chanted, “Tax the Rich!” Flood pushed back, contending that taxing high earners, as proposed by Democrats, would not fill budget gaps and would hurt job and business growth. But he “was continuously drowned out by the raucous crowd,” per ABC. “How much do the taxpayers have to pay for a fascist country?” one attendee asked, per CNN, drawing cheers from the crowd. Another said Flood was complicit in a “fascist machine.”
Well that guy was about as popular as a turd in a punchbowl.
All that does not mean the MAGA idiots will disappear just that is some sort of tug of war going on with the young Republicans…..
Young Republicans are split over the future of the party, with two warring factions seeking to position themselves as the true MAGA warriors ahead of a weekend vote for control of the party’s youth arm.
On Saturday, young party members will converge in Nashville, where they’ll decide between two slates to lead the Young Republican National Federation: Grow YR, led by current YRNF Chair Hayden Padgett, and the insurgent Restore YR campaign, led by New York State Young Republicans Chair Peter Giunta.
The brawl between the two slates is both personal — including interpersonal clashes and squabbles over hotel loyalty points and committee assignments — and ideological, with both sides looking to prove their loyalty to President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. But the fight is also a microcosm of a schism ready to burst in the party at large, which is already delicately trying to chart a course for its post-Trump future.
Restore YR, which is seeking to unseat the current leadership in an effort to “restore trust, opportunity, and unity,” has won the endorsements of hardcore MAGA firebrands like Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), longtime Trump ally and convicted felon Roger Stone, Florida GOP Chair Evan Power, and Turning Point Action Chief Operating Officer Tyler Bowyer, who was one of several “fake electors” in Arizona in 2020.

I feel it should go further than the ‘young’ Repubs…..thinking conservatives need to redraw the lines of the party…..this MAGA crap is killing the nation and its people.
What do you think should be the focus?
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
education, education, education. Teach them to read, to study history, to listen to everyone, not just the father who told you ‘he’s okay”. And listen to your gut. We have two Supreme Court Justices who have been accused of sexual advances of varying styles, we have a President who cannot spel or think beyond his last labored sentence. We have educated kids to think that they know everything, but half of them are unsure at times what city they live in, and they think it’s funny. They don’t have to make change, they don’t have to interact with anyone as long as there’s a cellphone handy…teach them how to add, subtract, divide. And to decide for themselves what’s right or wrong.
I also think Trump should be wheeled out of there strapped to a stretcher. I’m amazed he didn’t suggest trashing the White House in favor of smaller builldings…
I fully agree. Although I think there’s no fear the White House will be scaled down any time soon. He’s putting in that multi-million dollar ball room addition onto his “castle” now. Yep… fit for a king to be sure.
He likes his spectacle….if he can get his oohs and aahs then he is happy. chuq
I dunno that this battle in Texas over gerrymandering (spilling over to Dem states) will make a difference. As time progresses in his term the un-democracy crap just keeps on piling up MAGA can keep their seats and it won’t matter because the public at-large will shift their votes away from Trump. But that’s just my hopeful speculation. As I say… we haven’t nationally hit true bottom yet. When we hit it won’t matter how many seats Trump has.
But bottom will be harder to save the very things that are disappearing with Little Donny. chuq
Trump isn’t destroying Medicaid or Medicare. The necessity of adding 15 million from the border invasion will soon deplete avaiability and they’ll blame Trump. .
You still believe that sending people to gulags is the way to preserve the programs? chuq
Yes, send every one of the monster criminals to prison and deport immediately. So you still support the left’s catch and release so criminals can rape and murder again and get free healthcare too? My comment had nothing to do with sending people to gulags. Why do you continue to invent absurd suggestions which have nothing to do with my comments ? My comment was about the true source of stressing out Medicare and Medicaid. So how about you forfeit 50 % of your social security to
suport the invaders Mr. Generous, lose your healthcare and stop accusing republicans ? So you still support sanctuary states’ and sanctuary cities’ declarations of declaring federal law null and void ? Seems like your fellow Mississippi rebels have risen.
I am interested on how jailing non-violent people will benefit any of us….I checked with Mississippi, a super Red State, and they have no stats on any illegals tapping onto the Medicaid/Medicare system….not everyone picking lettuce is a rapist only in your mind. What about state’s rights? It flies in the face of federal law almost daily. chuq
I find it very amusing that staunch Republicans who voted for Trump even after he had made it clear that he was running for president on all of those policies are now upset that he is actually implementing the policies they voted for. That has to be a new level of political ignorance.
Best wishes, Pete.
Opportunism….those idiots were only looking for a chance to ‘shine’….even with their dark ages mentality. chuq
No ignorance. We support his policies and implemetation.
You support his policies, all of them? Then tell me how any benefits you personally. chuq
