What an embarrassment our governor is.
But he’s a man of the people! He wore his blue shirt and everything … and probably choppered in from his taxpayer-funded helipad in Jasper since he is above the “no more work from home” mandate he imposed on everyone else.
So disconnected to the majority of citizens. And anti-democratic as well.
LOL, 3,000 attendees, long-line waiting to get in. A Red State that overwhelmingly votes R and you think this event does not connect with the majority of Hoosiers, let alone the country?? Plus, I thought open dialogue and freely organizing around your beliefs was the epitome of a democratic society. They now have medicine for TDS.
It’s a cult.
I find it so ironic that so many people who likely would advocate for free speech resort to ad hominems when they disagree. Instead of debating on the merits, they insult. I find those people to be so insecure in their own positions that they resort to name calling and shaming anyone who disagrees with them. No wonder we are so polarized. Sad.
Amen! Same can be said of those who espouse the sophomoric term “hater” towards anyone with an opinion different than their own.
I only watched some of the occasional videos of Charlie Kirk on campuses taking any and all questions, very respectfully and having good healthy debates. That’s what colleges used to be about and it is true, over last 10 or so years, many students feared being able to say what they thought for fear of professor or their grade. Even PBS’s David Brooks said he saw that and called it “soft authoritarianism.”
Those on the left should seemingly “try” to not instinctively go for the verbal jugular anytime they seem someone or something they personally don’t like. The name calling “Nazi, Fascist, White Supremacist” – it’s 99% time so beyond over the top and ridiculous. (The 1% being if it is truly an open KKK member or something extreme).
I don’t love some of the current statewide GOP office holders: Rokita, Beckwith & Morales. I don’t think Braun is as solid and efficiency focused anywhere near my political favorite Mitch Daniels. (The BMV still impresses me what they did to make a once awful process a literal model of efficiency.)
But those on left should try to stop demonizing others, personally and making it a totally toxic environment for friendly discourse. Do things like finding a candidate like Beau Bayh for Sect of State and slowly win some seats with candidates who aren’t so far extreme left. Actually accept that other people have other views and you don’t have to hate them for it.
If 3,000 kids went to this event, so what? Let them!
I don’t think anyone is being demonized – I believe there is a current frustration at what our Indiana leadership prioritizes.
Instead of fixing roads and building bridges and luring new businesses here – they’re attacking doctors, posting photo ops from illegally demolished White House wings, and attending a for profit event that makes others money but doesn’t help anyone in our state.
The frustration is the zero accountability and net negative leadership. That isn’t demonizing it’s holding our elected officials accountable to their job.
The party is led (unquestioned) by a man who:
Gives absolute clemency to all January 6 participants, including those with grand jury indictment recommendations, those tried and convicted by jury, those with guilty pleadings (several of whom have now been re-arrested for new infractions)
Fires 17 inspectors general without cause, violating the law
Starts an untraceable cryptocurrency grift just before inauguration, openly inviting bribery (wife follows suit)
Fires the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs without cause
Repeatedly threatens invoking the Insurrection Act against protesters in inflatable frog costumes
Withholds Congressionally appropriated funds (Congress is the peoples’ voice)
Claims he can override the Constitution
Tears down part of the “Peoples’ House” to accommodate a vanity project (after lying that the structure wouldn’t be touched)
Publishes to the public forum by mistake a memo to his captured DOJ to prosecute officials he considers enemies
Is told his name is in the Epstein files multiple times – AJ, acting as personal defense/attack dog, assigns 1,000 FBI agents to scour the documents and flag the references.
Has former personal attorney meet with the nation’s most notorious sex crime convict, who is then moved to a “Club Fed” facility
Deploys the military in the streets against the wishes of the local officials (elected by their residents)
Has the head of the FCC openly threaten TV networks that express thoughts he doesn’t like
Turns ICE into the masked and unbadged largest American law enforcement agency
Unleashes an unelected and rogue group of young and inexperienced outsiders to slash and burn programs and personnel they don’t like
Unilaterally kills the USAID, a soft power entity supported bipartisanly for more than 60 years that his own SoS vocally defended a few years ago
Uses expensive military assets to blow up boats in international waters as judge and jury without presenting any evidence, likely violating international law
Repeatedly taunts the country with an illegal third term suggestion
New plan to shake down the DOJ for $230M of taxpayer money as retribution
But somehow you believe the real issue is hurtful name calling from the political opposition and there should be friendly discourse about things like the above. If it looks like a duck………
Plus, I’m old enough to remember that Joe Biden was proclaimed to be Pol Pot for pressing MAGA’s to wear masks
all the likes
All true FACTS @Timothy. If only this group cared about the factual information. They are led by hate and prefer division.
Yawn 🥱, speakers who all look, talk and act the same. Speaking to a crowd of homogenous followers. Government should represent ALL people. And I don’t agree with running government like business but that’s always Braun’s talking point. So you had a family business, who cares? How are you representing all of your constituents even those who do not fully agree with your beliefs?
Seems both sides have gone down hill resoring to name calling, shouting and at times physical violence. Neither side is inocent in today’s political arena. Republicans are Nazi’s, facists, wife beaters while Democrats are America Haters, communist wife beaters. History has shown the penduluum swings back and forth continuously from one to the other. Until people, including poiticians and news reporters, stop stoking the extremes the cycle will continue. It has always been there if you read history, however the advent of social media and the 24/7 news cycle have only amplified the issues rather than to calm them.
