"SNIP.....
Sandra Garza, longtime girlfriend of the late Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, told CBS News she is disgusted with Senate Republicans for blocking a bipartisan commission to investigate the January 6 insurrection.
Said Garza: Im disgusted that the Republican senators decided to vote no. Its a spit in the face to Brian, its a spit in the face to all the officers that were there that day.
She added: And I was a person who supported Donald Trump. Brian was a supporter of his
He knew that Brian was devoted to him, and he did not once reach out to me
he didnt even send a letter of condolences. He did absolutely nothing.
.....SNIP"

(5,126 posts)It's a hard lesson and we should use it as a way to suggest they retake their party and eject the KKK et al who only want white rich guys in power and have never swayed from that agenda no matter how they paint the posters to sell their crap. It's still crap.
THIS woman sees it in a way only someone who has lost the love of her life to the most brutal political party in America.
I think it's more important to let her get the message that she is seeing the light out there than to rebuff her for being lied to and believing those lies.
Actual conservatism based on FACTS is not the enemy of the people. BUT using alternate reality and propaganda to make people vote against their own best intersts and very survival isn't simple conservatism.
Again it goes back to the PARTY OF HATE buried inside the Rethugs. Like some sort of parasite eating the host and keeping the brain alive to keep it moving, this party needs to remove that parasite, reform the party or end it and start anew. Maybe go Independent and make the Rethugs the lesser party without any clout.
People like her should make a mass exodus of the Rethug party and hold those votes hostage. Write in Mickey Mouse or Jesus. They should protest their own party for abandoning sanity and leaving them broken and murdered in the streets.

(5,126 posts)BUT I did NOT realize she was supportive of voter suppression. Too much of a risk there.
I have been working full time during COVID and went into retail management like a plain a** fool.
I never really liked either of those so I don't know what possessed me, but I haven't been up on the FULL stories at times.

At least she's only 1/2 crazy.
EDIT
She's been talking back to the insanity, but apparently is still of a mind that cheating to get elected is just fine.

not fooled
(6,680 posts)she learned at the master's knee that cheating to get power is A-OK.
The real problem is dumbass Wyoming voters who put her in office.
Oh, and Wyoming residents: she's a product of an establishment family from back east--she's carpetbagging in your state.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liz_Cheney]
Cheney has been accused of being a carpetbagger, with little connection to Wyoming, where she lived only a few years as a child before purchasing a home there in 2012.[131][132][133] When she launched her 2014 Senate campaign, she did it with a Facebook post geotagged to McLean, Virginia, her primary residence at the time.[134] During that campaign, The New Republic columnist Jon Ward wrote, "she talked up her Wyoming roots and dressed in boots. But when I chatted with her at one stop, her jeans were so new that her hands were stained blue from touching them."[132]

(5,126 posts)You know even if we run 20 candidates who would all be competent and able to put together full sentences with logic and facts therein..... it is still a circus if everyone they run is spewing crazy all through the debates.
May need to revisit "What's The Matter With Kansas?" About how people vote against their own self interest and think it is the thing they "need" to do to protect themselves.

(7,401 posts)Sandra Garza is a Republican. They've been stomping on people for decades but she still supports them Now they stomped on her - she's disgusted. (but will probably continue to vote Republican - my guess)
Supporters for the Democratic Party generally get disgusted when anyone gets stomped on. We take the to streets for people we never met. We support a safety net for people we'll never know - people who won't even be born until after we die. We want a decent life for people on the other side of the planet.
For Sandra Garza, it's all about her. She's the perfect Trump supporter.

"For Sandra Garza, it's all about her. She's the perfect Trump supporter."...you have described a trump supporter 100% correct.

piece of shit before he sent those mobs of mouth breather off to attack the US Capitol & the Capitol
Police in order to overthrow our democracy so I can't seem to care what Ms. Garza thinks now.

Pull your head out of your ass lady. The writing has been on the wall for the past 30 years, only made abundantly clear in the past four. If you only think of yourself or for your husband and to hell with everyone else, don't expect us to fawn all over your misery when your minute of fame comes due AS YET ANOTHER USEFUL IDIOT that T---- Grifted!

It's true that if you run with the wrong crowd you start doing the wrong thing. The converse is true too.

(12,533 posts)Too often it takes a personal wounding, a tragic loss to see the light. This is a case in point.
It's also why we should never allow another Republican to swear their fidelity to law enforcement. They trashed the thin Blue line. They disrespected every man and woman who wears a uniform regardless of their political slant. The fact that only 15 Republicans agreed to meet with Sicknick's mother is disgusting, another profound act of disrespect.
As I've said in other threads:
These Republican men and women are not the 'loyal opposition'. They are out-in-the-open seditionists and should be treated accordingly.
