Did you know the DSA and the GOP had a similar platform during the time many consider America was at its greatest?

Not only Reagan supposedly his friend Sen Graham. Who a strong ally/Ukraine for yrs against Russia attacks.Trump’s sign Graham Bill to Ukraine after Graham death. Had 4 star General/boss,said didn’t hired adulterer-“aren’t trustworthy”. Trump sadly continues to prove it!

Republicans hailed Ukrainians as heroes during the early Biden administration. Until Trump started attacking them. Then they dropped Ukraine like a hot potato.. Republicans don't have any kind of principles at all. Other than getting themselves more power. Sorry Adam but it's always been that way.

Trickle down economics. Funneling arms to Dictators. What’s the difference?

AMEN

I pretty sure Trump wasn't president in 2014 when Russia invaded Ukraine. America turned their promise into dust. Trump isent the cause, he's just the symptom.

Suprise Suprise

Well, Obama was president in 2014 when Russia first invaded, and not that Biden acted forcefully either. Ukraine, like the Kurds, have been thrown under the bus by America.

They have no spine. Many are realizing they're on the wrong side and are complicit in the unraveling of everything people before us built to make our lives better. Even at that, there is no courage, let alone patriotism. Reagan was the first president I voted for. This GOP will never have my vote.

Fuck reagan fuck the gop fuck conservatives. It was never about being a “conservative”. Never.

Reagan armed the Iranian terrorist also.

Uhhhhhhh no. Reagan actually inflicted and prerequisited the very same strategies annexation like this, he's the breeding ground for this endless ghost train of reactionary jingoism and despair, and the fore father for a lot of things wrong with society. Why can't you Depublicans succumb to it?

Tell me you don't understand what Reagan actually did in a couple paragraphs.

Forget Reagan. It spits in everything America has been standing for

republicans are craven, cowardly scum.

They would have supported Germany in the 30’s.

No. Has it honestly reported on the Ukraine situation? Wait, you are saying "Fox News" like the single-word Democrat refutations, right? "I called you anti-vaxxer, therefore I am a science expert". Same way "I said Fox News, therefore I am right." Not your fault. Democrats destroyed education.

To market to the booger eaters, try something simple like “Jesus says Russia sucks!”

I seriously can't believe your party has sold its soul for power and money. Feels like most Rs in DC these days have no principles.

Where are the former Republican House Speakers? Shouldn’t they be speaking up? McCarthy? Boehner? Ryan? Don’t they have anything to say to the world?

Maga supporters don't realize what they're doing to themselves. Always remember, just because he didn't do it to you YET. Look at what he's done to all the 1st term/2nd term republican defectors. If this administration remains in power, all American's rights are in jeopardy.

Remember that for 250 years Americans died fighting for our freedom, and Trump pisses on their graves. The worst is that the Republicans, billionaires, and corporations watch and say nothing. None of these people deserve the freedom that Americans died for. Fuck them ALL!

Its white male supremacy. Racism is a part of it.

You assume they can grow spines which we know is not true.

Fuck Reagan, the man who laughed at AIDS victims, supported child rapists in Nicaragua and torturers in Argentina, destroyed Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and so many other countries and waged war against the poor and working class of America. We should spit on his grave every Goddamn day.

Trump is turning into a blackmailer for his war-criminal friend Putin.

The old Republican Party used to believe in America as an example of freedom and democracy, that was Reagan. I’m a Democrat, but that was the way the old Republican Party operated, we all agreed that American democracy/freedom was most important. I miss the days when we argued about tax dollars.

They don’t have a spine

Reagan called them the evil empire. Trump's version: the business partners. The party that wrapped itself in the flag for 40 years is now auctioning Ukraine to Putin for tax cuts and cable-news vibes. Grow a spine? These people sold theirs for a hat.

...EVERYTHING matters more than the GOP.

EVERYTHING matters more than the GOP!

If we were dealing with a normal president, and not a traitorous, washed out reality tv star. Donald has shown his cards ten years ago and America still voted for him. Make sense of that and you’ll understand how broken and ignorant this nation really is.

You’re telling the goo to grow a spine? That’s fucking hilarious. Every last one of them would blow trump in front of their own kids if he told them to

I hated Reagan. Saw him totally off track during the Carter debate, and loved the way Carter glared at him while he played Mr. Congeniality

How history will remember them…

Sorry, but other than isolated pockets of paleo-conservatives living in caves somewhere, vast swaths of the GOP adhere to the current party line with a tribal-like fervor. There is no analysis, just slavish devotion to whatever talking points MAGA/ Putin's IRA spit out.

Technically they may have spines, but they only pretended to have principles.

Treason. Say it. Trump is putting Russia above America.

Every single Republican representative and supporter are guilty. The Republican Party has worked for this for years. They ALL know and still participate it this.

Ukraine is the front line in Russia's (otherwise cold) war on Europe. We are dang lucky to have it on our side.

Adam, you’re preaching to the choir. Bluesky has become a self licking ice cream cone. You need to broadcast this message directly into hardcore MAGA sites and to the broader population generally.

youtu.be/yZJEI4TNMro?...

After Ukraine, Putin plans further wars into Europe. Peace for land rarely works.

All MAGAs are traitors. It's part of the package.

I don't care how conservative you are. You should've voted to impeach Trump the first time.

MAGA ate the GOP, GOP doesn’t exist anymore…

The vast majority of his supporters stick with him because they know he feels the same as they do about non-white people. There is not a conservative bone (or bone spur) in that man's body

And Reagan ws a cunt-faced piece of shit, remember. Busted unions, the New Deal, etc. making the US the shithole of the West by brainwashing Americans into thinking that social democracy was evil -- well, dozens of social democracies now have a much higher quality of life than the US. Go figure!

Trump is a traitor.

I like your way of expressing the current state of the once (but no longer) Grand Old Party. It’s spot on. They can’t even build a party platform these days because they’ve abandoned their foundational principles. And that’s before mentioning that they trample on our Constitution and their oaths!

They can wrap themselves in the flag all they want but it won’t change that they are the opposite of patriotic.

Anything Trump touches is dirty, especially his diaper.

Do people remember how odd it seemed in 2016 when the Republicans changed their Party platform regarding Ukraine? www.npr.org/2016/08/06/4...

Nice. You caught up. Now, keep up.

100% fact

Apparently they don't, Adam.. You'd have to start to wonder what the MAGAts have over some of these people - because there's got to be a reason why they are behaving like this..

I remember when all of America supported Ukraine and Zelensky. Sadly, that's not true anymore. ❤️‍🩹🤍💙 1/3 of Americans will vote for Putin this election. We are broken.

Reagan started this mess Eff him

but they are no longer GOPers, they are all now maga-ts

Reagan walked out of Reykjavik rather than trade away missile defense. The party now trades away a country. Kinzinger is right that the real question is whether the GOP still exists as anything other than a vehicle for one man's debt to Moscow.

Powerful! 🦅

Not that Obama did much to stop Russia invading Ukraine,...

Betrayal is a suit Trump is very comfortable wearing, he's a fucking psychopath

Conservatism means your only loyalty is your bank account

Reagan was a piece of fucking shit wrapped in KKK robes.

So long as the poisonous lie that objectivity requires neutrality persists, evil has a huge messaging advantage.

Reagan was a POS, but he was a patriot. The Felon is not, never has been, and never will be. That’s been obvious since before 2016, and every R knows it.

EVERYTHING matters more that the GOP.

In Trumplandia…🇺🇲's Leader’s 19th Century Who Rules With A GoldFist✊Says: 🇺🇲🏛️🏴‍☠️👑🎃👐🏻💬 "PUTIN’S MY PAL; Loyalty Beats Principles!” 📜 Divine & Demonic Wisdom 📜 HEAVEN'S😇🪉🙏🏻MORAL: “DEFEND FREEDOM!” TRUMPLANDIA’S😈🔥🖕IMMORAL: “BETRAY ALLIES FOR POWER!”

The only thing Reagan stood for was the beginning of the end of a free, fair and decent society

I don't know why you're surprised by this. Republicans have been betraying America for foreign powers since at least Richard Nixon negotiated with Vietnam during a campaign, Reagan did Iran Contra, Bush lied about WMDs. This is the party you chose to be a part of in Congress.

Zelenski saved us from the Russian bot army. We are forever on his debt.

Reagan? REAGAN???🤯🤮

It's heartbreaking that people I know are aware how horrific this is remain silent to appease Dear Leader. Shameful

At this point @adamkinzinger.substack.com EVERYTHING matters more than the GOP

Spitting on Lindsay Graham's legacy and a bill he fought so hard to get passed to help Ukraine and hold Russia accountable.

They won’t do it. They have shown their ass and revealed who they really are. All the suspicions about that party have been revealed. It’s good you left. There are very few of you in reality.

POWERFUL post!🦅

"I demand you surrender your people and cities immediately to make my life easier because I totally fucked up. Thank you for your attention to this matter "

It's hideous and outrageous but...it's tRump. Anyone who assumes he'll be loyal to them better have $$ available to give to him because that's the only way you'll have a chance.

Reagan ignored the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans in the AIDS crisis to consolidate conservative power. THAT was the first betrayal! Reaganites have no moral high ground to stand on invoking his name like he's Beetlejesus. Trump is the inevitable result of Reaganism.(See Pandora's Box)

Putin wants to be the next Hitler. He must be stopped.

As trump threatens to cut off weapons and intelligence information. Clear betrayal Trump tells Europe not to supply wespons to Ukraine. Clear trump Russian asset All weapons are paid fir by Europe - the usa gives Nothing to Ukraine

Abandoning Ukraine to Putin has nothing whatsoever to do with conservatism. Trump and the MAGAts are not conservatives. And IMO performative tax cuts and party loyalty have nothing to do with conservatism either.

I stand right alongside you, Adam Kinzinger.

Reagan spent most of his time in office in the twilight zone. He started all this bullshit that we're going through now.

Screw Reagan! A puppet at best. At worst, the man who created the billionaire/Epstein class with tax breaks for wealthy, who started the culture wars as we know them, aligning himself with televangelists, and the "moral majority" Who did nothing while Iran Contra swirled how about Dwight Eisenhower?
