It’s surprising but refreshing to see a conservative like Hutchinson put country over party; maybe this is what we need to heal our political divide.

She always struck me as a decent but perhaps misguided person, looking back at the hearings. Really good to hear she’s doing the right thing for everyone, but especially for the continued rights of current and future generations of American women.

I’m surprised there aren’t more ads touting how many ex-Trump aides are not endorsing Trump and/or voting for Kamala, it’s literally unprecedented

I’m hoping for a lot of *in the booth decisions* to push the Blue vote higher.

There is nothing conservative about overthrowing democracy, and replacing it with a trump dictator ship

Thanks. Go cast your vote and then you and Romney, and Cheney and the rest of the other fascists who hate Trump can go fuck yourselves. Your views are repugnant and your philosophy is built on othering people and hate. So again, thanks for the vote, you are still human garbage.

trump is very right wing, but I don’t think hes particularly conservative.
His trade policies are the opposite of free market orthodoxy. I’m not even trying to be funny, the best way to describe his trade policy is “nationalist socialism”.
His “america first” foreign policy is definitely not conservative.
Limited government? trump doesn’t want to limit government, he just wants to reorient it. Orient it away from helping people and towards hurting people. trumpd doesnt “hate big government”, he just wants to make sure big government is being used as an offensive weapon against his enemies.
So yeah hes right wing in the sense that hes racist, hes authoritarian, hes jingoistic, he’s obssessed with violence and “toughness”, he worships wealth and power. But those things aren’t necessarily “conservative”.
This is also why the “but the policy!” argument from republicans that know better is bunk. Much of the policies that they are willing to overlook rape to vote for are policies that they would have campaigned against and called socialism before trump.

Cassidy is only 27 yrs. old for Christ’s sake. I understand that when people work for political officials in DC, they’ll invariably learn to accept their policies and practices. It’s on the job training.
At such a young age, I can’t help but wonder what financial hardships Cassidy has had to endure or what experiences she’s had to deal will to become a self-proclaimed conservative.
MAGA conservatives control today’s GQP, and that means it doesn’t stop at wasteful/unnecessary govt spending. It includes hating all things that Dems stand for and obstructing all their proposals.
MAGAs want to go back in time when women were kept barefoot & pregnant and black people knew their place. They want to go back and erase all the progress we’ve made with civil rights, gay marriage, diversity, EPA laws, safety laws (OSHA), health care, LBGTQ+ rights, etc. etc. etc.

As a 27 year old myself, who went from GOP-supporting Libertarian to Democrat over the course of 2021-2022, Hutchinson and Rashad Crenshaw on YouTube have been people that I really relate to; at least as far as understanding which side better reflects our values.

She is a true patriot! Party over country should be the theme for this election!

Fuck her, she’s still a right wing conservative that supports separating migrant children from their parents, or the racist rallies her former boss held every other day. I don’t want her getting a free pass and being treated as a profile in courage. I’m glad armed insurrection is her red flag/final straw. But fuck her and all the other “conservatives” that was part of the problem were facing today. MSNBC should be ashamed of themselves for giving her a soapbox.

The Republican party and leadership seem to *really* not have an understanding of what patriotism means. And it’s unfortunate that they are actively training people to have a misunderstanding of it.

Stop calling them conservatives. There’s no such thing as a conservative. They are oppressors and fascists. Call them what they are.

Proud to be and conservative are words never to be associated with each other. “Conservatism” is a cancer on society.

I’m stuck at the airport and I’ve been passing the time on Reddit. I’ve been waiting for a post about this woman as I just saw her, last night, on The Last Word. I’m struck by the courage it took for her to testify publicly, especially compared to those with more power, more security and more influence who chose not to do so. Her parents must be so proud of her.

Love how all the people in the White House who testified in the healing suddenly realized who trump was on 1/6. C’mon. This is equally cynical and self serving.

She’s for bigger balls than Trump’s entire cabinet that knew they should have removed him and only waited until years later to say anything in a book deal. Real Patriots for cash. Good on her
