Being rejected hurts. How would you like it if you caught feelings for a dude you were friends with, he rejected you, and then demanded you carry on the friendship like nothing happened?
MAGA: Haley wasn't the recipient of racist remarks, she's too white!
Also MAGA: NIMRATA RANDHAWA isn't a real American because she's Indian! She can't run because she's not white enough!
I'm going to mute this conversation now. I've said a million times that he was an asshole and should've walked her home. He should move on if he can't handle being friends with her after being rejected.
@PayAlleria
That's great! Everyone is different and some people react differently to situations. The dude should've walked her home, but I understand why he is unwilling to continue to hang out with a girl he harbors unrequited feelings for.
@PayAlleria
He was and still is her friend. He should've put aside his ego and walked her home. He caught feelings, she didn't, so he wanted to distance himself. There is nothing malevolent or bad about that. Friendships form and break,that's a fact of life.
@survivorstrong3
I agree, but the dude CAUGHT feelings after years of friendship. Nothing he says indicates that he started the friendship looking to hook up with her. This stuff happens naturally. He should've walked her home, and if need be, cut ties. He needs to get over himself.
embarassing that Science Magazine is leaning into the whole Noble Savage bit now

Thank you Nikki Haley for seeing 2016 and deciding to kasich the only person with a path.
Quite the self obsessed piece of shit.
Congrats to team trump on being the luckiest group of idiots of all time.
Be honest: Ron ran a horrible campaign. This is HIS fault. The indictments definitely hurt him, but he is ultimately to blame for failing to beat Haley by more than 5 points in a state he spent a year campaigning in. And btw: most of Haley's donors are small dollar.
Haley deserves to be humiliated for her delusional campaign financed by Dem donors.
Shame on those who donated to Haley. You fools could have supported the best conservative leader since Reagan but he hurt your feelings.
Not wanting to hang out with someone who rejected you is not "being a predator". Acting like a creep and continuing to pester her and asking her out IS being a creep. They are also still friends, but he doesn't want to be as close as they were.
I've been a Republican all my life. My family has continuously voted for Republicans since the 1910s. I was born & raised in rural SC. I have voted R my entire life. But sure, I'm a Democrat because I support the governor who fixed the state economy & fought the SC Establishment.

Haley supporters are democrats and leftists who want to help Biden by dragging out the GOP primaries.
DeSantis supporters? Where were they in Iowa and New Hampshire?

A voter asks about Ukraine —
DeSantis says “there’s a real risk” Nikki Haley “would send American troops to Ukraine to fight”
Gonna have to disagree with you here, chief. If Ukraine doesn't achieve its goals (reconquest of pre-2022 borders), then NATO will be in deep trouble. Why wouldn't the Baltics cave when faced with a revitalized Russia and an uninterested US?
I'm soooo tired of this talking point. Haley IS going after Trump. She's done it REPEATEDLY during the debates. She implied on the Ruthless Pod that she is saving most of her ammo for later, when she thinks that Trump will be forced to debate.
@PanPrincess1997
I agree, that was a shitty and horrible thing to do. He needs to move on with his life and stop being bitter. All I was trying to say is that his feelings shouldn't be ignored and that he should cut off ties if he can't move on and treat her like a friend.
Ultimately, the RDS campaign failed because it did not appeal to anyone. Trumpism without Trump just isn't appealing. There is no base for it. People want Trump's GOP or they want Haley's Tea Party GOP.
Instead of bickering amongst themselves and handing Democrats control of the House, Republicans should do their damn job and vote on the important issues facing our nation.

No. The GOP moderates have bent over backwards for freaks like Jordan and all they get in return is embarrassment, humiliation, and chaos. They should go to the Dems and form a Unity Coalition.

They think that Haitians are actually Christians. In actuality, they worship a bastardized Catholicism which includes pagan deities and VooDoo rituals. The actual Christian population of Haiti is VERY small.
@PatblakeBlake
He didn't have feelings in the beginning. Everyone keeps overlooking this fact, and it's why what he did to her (refusing to walk her home when she's vulnerable) was so wrong.
She was born and raised in Bamburg SC, went to school at Clemson, married a Southern man, and her parents encouraged her to integrate into Southern culture. Her accent is legit. Also: Nikki (her middle name) is a common Indian girl name.
When I read a Haley supporter say this about DeSantis, then reflect on the consensus of 90% of Republican voters that she is a fake Hillary Clinton clone who hides her Indian name and speaks with a fake Southern accent in order to fit in with white South Carolina voters...
This is some serious cope. Whenever sinners need prayer, a place to find comfort, or a church to take their kids to, they never go to the Lutherans, or the Presbyterians or Anglicans. They go to the Catholics, the Baptists, the Calvary Chapels, and non-denominational churches.
Non-denominational explaining why their church is still connected and influential on the culture (they partner with one other non-denominational church and they did street preaching that one time)
This line sums up the failure of the DeSantis campaign:
"...By trying to be Trump lite, DeSantis has found himself to be not Trump enough for the voters who want Trump and too Trumpy for those who want an alternative. 𝘏𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦."

Why not stay in? Trump is about to go bankrupt, there are some Haley friendly states coming up, & she's taking 40%+ of the vote everywhere she runs. Remind the GOP every single day that Trump is weak and force Trump to spend money against her.
"I want a strong military that makes our enemies too scared to face us so we don't have to go to war." Is now apparently a Neo-Con talking point. The Right has now become just as brain-dead as the Left when it comes to FP.

Saw some stupid video on YT that said that Hank and the DEA are villains like Walt and the Cartel lmao. The drug war hasn't exactly succeeded, but clearly, the side trying to stop the murderous poison pushers are the good guys.
Maturity is realizing that the correct response to 9/11 was to require locks on all airplane cockpit doors, shoot a cruise missile at an empty tent and hit a camel, and call it a day.
Literally everything else the US did in response to 9/11 just made life worse for Americans.
No, being "High Church" doesn't mean you will immediately become a Liberal/Anti-Christian. The problem is that High Church institutions allowed themselves to be captured by unbelievers over a long period of time. It was gradual, and by no means inevitable.
Well, of course, she was going to be either PCUSA or Episcopalian. Also, ever notice how the further removed from Christianity a preacher or denomination gets, the more high church they become?
My thing is, a Clinton presidency would've DESTROYED the Dems & wouldn't have injured the nation in any way. She would've been easy to beat in 2020. All of the insane "final election" BS that we believed was fake, ginned crap pushed by Limbaugh, Levin, Beck, and others.
I'll gladly vote and donate to anyone who runs against Tim Scott. His betrayal of Haley in return for a sliver of attention from MAGA world and their rapist in chief reveals how deep his faith goes.

He did so because:
1) The "Principalities & Powers" (aka demons, Satan, etc) wouldn't expect it
2) He wanted to preserve human free will
3) He wanted to provide us with the ultimate example of self sacrifice
4) He had to do it in a way that the Jews would be able to understand

I will be voting for Donald John Trump in the 2024 general election.
Yes I’m now an independent and my contempt for Trump remains. But Biden’s policies are an existential threat to the country. My love for America supersedes my hate of Trump.
Biden must be defeated.
Also: the accusations are from a decade ago, when she was running for governor. The State Establishment HATED her, so they threw as many accusations as they could at her. This BS was debunked a decade ago.
Trump has literally been on trial for raping a woman and you guys actually wanna have a conversation about Nikki Haley?
Since when has fidelity meant anything in the Republican Party since 2016?
She has nothing to lose by dropping out. If she stays in until the end, telling voters the hard truths and explaining why a Trump victory is unlikely, it makes Trump's loss easier to take and understand.
A few big factions that I think will appear once Trump disappears: the Lolberts (Massie/Paul/Chip Roy), the Floridians (DeSantis and his lackeys), the Conservative Progressives (Rubio/Vance), and finally, the Remnant (Haley, Gallagher, Meijer, Kemp).
Haley is positioning for a post-Trump world that will almost certainly start while she's still in her prime. Trump's departure will shatter MAGA into a virtually unlimited universe of warring factions. Someone will have to try to reassemble a functional conservatism.

IMHO Haley is much closer to Reagan than she is to either of the Bush presidents.
I also don't think we need a super socially conservative person in the WH. We need a suburban mom, who can unite the country in sanity. We need normalcy and fiscal responsibility, not Franco.

I would add Talk Radio. I know this is gonna be taken badly, but Rush Limbaugh and his ilk are a big reason why we are where we are right now. He did a lot of good, but ultimately he helped set us on this path.
This is probably true. A lot of the Trump folks I know still think this is 2016-2020 Trump, who cut taxes and helped Israel. They have NO IDEA just how crazy he and his proposals have gotten. They don't follow what he says anymore, they just see his name & say "HE'S IN MY TRIBE!"
To a lot of people, Trump has become an idea, a wishcasting device. That's a big reason why, I think, his advisors don't want him to debate. They know that the more voters are confronted with the real Trump, the more their idea of Trump gets challenged. In a lot of ways, it
I'm not defending him for not walking her home when she's drunk. That's a foul thing to do and he should've done the right thing. But if I were him and he couldn't continue the friendship without sore feelings, he should leave her alone and move on.
In the words of Jonah Goldberg, "Sometimes, some topics are resolved and shouldn't be reexamined."
Why must we stoop down to explain to moral degenerates why some things are evil? Societal views of rape, incest, murder, pedophilia, etc. don't need to be reexamined.
"Is my friendship not enough?" No, at least, not for him. He wanted a romantic relationship with you. Not surprising that he cut it off. Better for him to cut ties and move on than to see you with another man.
Just went to message a male friend from here and realized he blocked me. We’ve known each other for years and I know he did it because I got a boyfriend.
This is why it’s hard to trust even the “nice” men. So many have ulterior motives.
Quite seriously, this stuff is enemy propaganda.
I'm not even sure which enemy makes it, but it's designed to hurt the people.
Defining "normal comfort" as a top 5%+ income is simply demoralization.
It can have no other effect than to discourage.

No, Christian Nationalism destroyed it. I swear, every time a RW party makes Christianity (really it's just Cultural Christianity), Christianity gets screwed because once you connect religion & politics, religion gets blamed when the political entities tied to it fail.
This is a perfect example of what Sowell talks about in A Conflict of Visions. The Liberal/Leftist holds an unconstrained view of man (man & his institutions can be perfected), the Right GENERALLY holds the constrained view (man is evil so institutions must constrain him).
It's true that leftists didn't cover themselves with glory on the Hamas issue, but this article about why it proves we should all be conservatives reminded me of exactly why I'm a liberal — poverty, crime, inequality, and war are not inevitable!
@GrungyGrl33
We are all different. Refusing to walk her home was WRONG, but feeling hurt after being rejected isn't crazy. He should move on. If he can't ignore his past feelings, he should go on and distance himself instead of being a jerk to her.
@ConservaMuse
I know a lot of guys (including family) who are now ideologically committed to Rush's "No compromise, no moderates" ideas, and they cannot fathom that the GOP has to win elections and convince people that aren't exactly like them.
Just want to note that the US ordered new carriers and ships BEFORE the war (1939 if memory serves me right) & only got them in 1942. Pre-war purchases laid the foundation for the US's response. Without those orders & America's large merchant fleet, we would've been screwed.
As we speak, Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro is pursuing a campaign to annex half of the territory of Guyana.
Guyana's government is led by democratic socialist Mohamed Irfaan Ali.
Fancy a guess at which leader the Democratic Socialists of America supports.
@GrungyGrl33
That's what I'm trying to say. I just wanted people to stop saying he was just into the friendship for sex. That clearly isn't what happened. He caught feelings, got rejected, and is sore about it. He should move on and act like an adult.
I'm from a really rural, really Republican area in SC, and no one cared. They certainly don't care anymore. This issue isn't actually that important to Southerners. What's important is Southern Culture, which Haley has always honored and held to.
FUN FACT: It was none other than Nikki Haley who STARTED this trend of the intentional woke destruction of our history.
During her tenure as Governor, she authorized the removal of the Confederate battle flag from State House grounds in July 2015, opening a Pandora’s Box…
At this point it is very obvious what the "don't go to college" BS is about: younger Far Right activists tell their younger acolytes to not go to school because it ensures they have no competition and creates a subservient and uninformed base.
The clear solution is a unity ticket with Haley/DeSantis or DeSantis/Haley as the Trump alternative. I think that the ultimate winner of this battle for 2nd will become clear in the next debate in November.
The conundrum: RDS looks like the only candidate to consolidate jumpy MAGA-adjacent voters while appealing to outright Trump skeptics. But RDS has not and it seems won’t appeal to Trump skeptics. Haley is, but there aren’t enough of them to dethrone Trump.

No, we really didn't. Iran and China are predisposed to hate us, as are the Russians. We stand in the way of their territorial conquests, and our cultures/ideologies/political systems are very different.
The US will not collapse under a Democratic trifecta, stop fear-mongering. When a party dominates an entire government, it must be a massive tent and thus will be relatively MODERATE. If the Dems get a trifecta, expect FDR 2.0, not Maduro. And total dominance = total blame.

The nation only survives a Biden 2nd term if Biden fails to get a trifecta. Otherwise, he has the ability to expand SCOTUS, giving the Dems unlimited power that'll result in America becoming Venezuela.
This thread has an interesting POD (point of divergence) but it goes alien space bats pretty quickly. The Nazis would NEVER have accepted a long-term peace with the USSR: the whole point of Nazism was to conquer and colonize Ukraine and Russia.
Imagine how differently things would be today if Finland actually got the Western help it wished & asked for in Winter War against the Soviet Union.
Let's play with this alternative line of history in this short thread 🧵
Yes, Nikki Haley, the anti-establishment Republican from SC, the daughter of immigrants, who opposes everything the Left holds dear, is really just a Left-wing puppet. Makes total sense.
It’s clear the puppet masters have lost their use for Biden & are slowly sidelining him, but the real trick is who they’re propping up instead. It’s not Gavin or Michelle, as I’d assumed before. It’s far more insidious. Open your eyes, folks. It’s staring us right in the face.
Haiti are about as Christian as Mormons are. They believe in a bastardized, pagan/Catholic hybrid which includes voodoo rituals. They are not Christians.
