Got a few beliefs that divert from “traditional conservatism”? Whoop-di-fucking-do. So do I. In the Republican party as it exists now, we allow for diversity of thought, differences of opinion, and we encourage competing ideas.

When I left the @TheDemocrats, I didn't join the Libertarians OR Independents; there's a reason for that. Their values are SO aligned with the values of those of us who joined or stayed with the @GOP in the era of Trump as to render the distinction meaningless. #JoinTheGOP

Not checking off all the boxes on your list of preconceived notions of what a Republican is doesn’t mean there’s no place for you in the party, or that you can’t carve one out.

Quit kidding yourselves and just sign up with the GOP already.

Exercise your free speech, declare your views, and with any that diverge from “traditional” GOP positions (e.g. gay marriage, pot legalization, pro choice, etc.), use them to distinguish yourself as a Republican who exists in defiance of the stereotypes put on your party.

Be a Republican with these views, set the example, and help me continue to reshape, redefine, and expand what the GOP stands for.

It’s a fuck of a lot better use of your time than trying to make a useless party of failure (Libertarian) into a useful conduit for the will of the people. Can’t be that when it never wins anything, when it can’t even make a dent on the state level, nevermind nationally.

Instead of that, think about joining a party that actually matters, and bring what matters to you to the table as a member of it, force it to incorporate or coexist peaceably with the likes if you. That’s how you effect real change; pragmatism, effective policies, tangible results.

Independents, Libertarians, Classic Liberals… the ONLY difference between you and Republicans is, WE actually win elections. You're all the same as us as far as modern Democrats are concerned too, btw. If you're not with them you're against them; might as well join US.

Everything you believe in as an Independent or fight for as a Libertarian, you can believe and fight for as a Republican. Fact.

It was a pretty trippy day when this happened, first thing I saw that morning was coverage about the crash. Some of the news was decent, covered several angles of his career, reported on other victims, stayed respectful… and some of it wasn’t.

CBS caused some drama between Gayle King and Snoop Dog; the network decided to air an out of context clip from an interview Bryant had done with her.

It was a wide ranging interview, but they cherry picked a small sound bite on the rape allegations and played that by itself, like the same day he and his daughter both died.

Gayle went on social media to explain her side of it, saying that the network didn’t tell her they were going to play it, and that she didn’t understand why they played it out of context like that when the interview was so much longer and covered so many other topics.

Imo the only mistake Snoop Dogg made with his threatening “step off” reaction video was in directing his words toward Gayle King.

Frankly, I get where he was coming from, CBS pulled that shit before he or his daughter were even buried; classless fucking muckrakers.

Accidentally deleted my pinned tweet recently, which summed up a bit of where I stand in politics, and how I got there. Did that twice.

Had to rewrite it from scratch both times. And since I’m launching a new little venture (this site) I figure why not use it to kick things off.

America is in the midst of a culture war; this is a chronicle and tribune of the fight (as it goes) from my outlook as a modern Republican.

The party I belong to stands for equal and individual rights, secure borders, fair trade, opportunity, capitalism, and effective, coherent, accountable governance.

The likes of which have made this country great over and over at different times throughout our history, as it has following the election and under the leadership of Donald J. Trump. Feel free to join us in pushing back against the corruption, socialism, corporatism, and fascism of the Democrat party.

As for me, I’m gonna use this space to run my mouth, share some thoughts, make some points, tell my story bit by bit, and maybe even make a difference in the fight.

I’ll keep adding my voice to the mix in this culture war, share my take and articulate my values, exposing the hypocricies, lies, and corruption of the Democrats along the way.

Even if you don’t feel like joining the GOP straight away, subscribe to Modern Republican and give it some time, see if any of what you see and read here ends up changing your mind as more content is added.

Those of you who are already Republicans, especially the ones who joined the party in the wake of Trump’s foray into American politics… enjoy the ride. It’s going to be a rough, dirty fight to the finish.
