End Lego purchases. End ESA vacations. End college funds. Keep EsA for poor kids.
Arizona Democrats just took power. Their first move? Attack school choice. Income caps. New restrictions. More government control so families lose the options they fought for. Tens of thousands of kids are succeeding outside the system they want to force them back into. They don’t care. I’ll fight every attempt to gut it. Parents decide. Not politicians.
You don’t know a lot of poor people do you Joe?
The same people that complain about “high cost of living” are the same people who spend on unnecessary things. Average spend for unnecessary purchases $330/month eating out/take out $282/month impulse shopping $167/month clothing $130/month sports related purchases $135/month alcohol $70/month streaming services $1,114/month in pointless spend. If it cost $5/gallon and filling up 16 gallons a week. That’s $80/week $320/month The problem is not cost of things. The problem is no one knows how to budget or manage money.

Death. Taxes. A Big Ten coach saying how the SEC gets the best treatment while not acknowledging losing to a 3-5 Purdue is probably why you’re not ranked at all. We have NEVER been more BACK in life!!

It’s been 6 years with no proof. Make your case or shut up.
America does NOT have safe, secure or fair elections. Full stop.

Americans hate Trump. Kirk preaches racist dogma. 1+1.
I’d like to see more convo about how Turning Points USA went all in on Arizona and really ate shit this cycle.

These are not small things. GOP has had the legislature for 60 years. They’re out of second chances. I’m fully blue. Not sure that can change in my lifetime
Replying to @Anosmic1
I understand why you’ve lost confidence in Republicans. Frankly, I’ve lost confidence in a lot of our leadership too. That’s exactly why I’m calling for change. But I also don’t believe handing Democrats complete control of Arizona magically makes housing, groceries, or utilities affordable. We constantly hear promises about taxing billionaires and making the wealthy pay more. Fine, but how does that actually lower costs for working families? We still pay taxes, and we’re still struggling to afford the basics. I believe in school choice, parental rights, lower taxes, and limited government. I’m not abandoning those principles just because Republicans have done a lousy job defending them. And I’m certainly not giving Democrats a free pass on their policies either. But I’ll tell you this: if Republicans want your trust back, we need to earn it. Not demand it. And now that Democrats have won, I’ll hold them to that exact same standard. I don’t care which party is in charge. If you promise to make life affordable, you better damn well deliver.

His name is Trump. He is hated by tens of millions. He said to vote like he was in the ballot. We did.
There is no statistical possibility that the map changed this much in just 2 years.

That will never happen. Fake electors. Fake vote audit. ESA vouchers for rich families. Ignoring public votes on abortion and vouchers. No to big you can do after that to restore confidence. Nothing.
I’ve spent the last few days criticizing the direction of the Arizona Republican Party. So let me explain what I actually want to do about it. I’m a conservative, a Republican precinct committeeman, and I’ve knocked on over 600 doors and helped register hundreds of voters. And I’m tired of watching us lose elections we should at least be competitive in. But I’m equally tired of MAGA, establishment, and McCain Republicans spending more time fighting each other than figuring out why we’re losing. Nobody is teaching anybody a lesson by losing another election. Everyone, myself included, needs to get over themselves. Here’s my plan. First, we start at the precinct level. Get Republicans back into their communities YEAR-ROUND. Talk to people. Hold town halls. Listen to Democrats, independents, young voters, and people who’ve given up on politics entirely. Second, rebuild our candidate pipeline. Recruit competent, principled conservatives who understand policy, communicate effectively, and can actually govern. Stop choosing candidates based on factional loyalty. Third, conduct a serious, independent review of our election failures. Examine endorsements, consultants, campaign spending, turnout, and candidate performance. Nobody gets immunity from accountability because they’re influential or politically connected. Fourth, develop an actual governing agenda centered on affordability, homeownership, water, education, small businesses, and economic opportunity. And finally, measure the results. Start with one precinct, expand to legislative districts, and build a statewide strategy for 2028 based on what actually works. Here’s what I fundamentally believe. Arizona isn’t permanently blue. It isn’t permanently red either. Arizonans have demonstrated they’re willing to vote for candidates from either party. They’ve also demonstrated they believe moderation is weak and ineffective. We should stop treating Democratic communities like they’re off-limits. Walk into those neighborhoods. Have conversations. Understand their concerns. You don’t have to abandon conservatism to treat somebody who disagrees with you like a human being. And for God’s sake, stop assuming voters owe us their loyalty. I want Republicans back in power because I believe conservative principles improve people’s lives. But if we want that responsibility, we have to demonstrate that we’re capable of earning it. That means holding ourselves accountable just as aggressively as we hold Democrats accountable. I’m planning to begin hosting open community town halls in January 2027, and I’m already speaking with people across Arizona who want to help build something better. I’m not interested in creating another Republican faction. We have enough of those. I want to help build a Republican Party that’s competent, principled, serious about governing, and actually worth voting for. We don’t rebuild Arizona by winning another argument inside the Republican Party. We rebuild it by earning the confidence of Arizonans. I’m starting in my own community. Who’s willing to do the same? - Rob the Builder Rebuilding the American Dream.

US deficit was reduced by Clinton, Obama and Biden, increased under Bush, Bush and Trump twice. Look it up. Or we could just confiscate the billions the Trump family has pocketed the past 2 years.
So, the Democrat Party’s solution to solving the affordability crisis is to jack taxes up to 50%, raise the minimum wage (which increases business costs and, in turn, drives up prices), and implement universal healthcare at a cost of $4 trillion, which would put our country on the path to bankruptcy. Tell me when in history those policies have worked. The answer is never. These people have zero policies that will actually make your life better.

She ran the audit? Or the election? Either way you need to out the bourbon away.

We win every game today.
What a great day of college football we as Indiana fans just sit back and watch the teams knock each other off while we continue to move up.

Trump is a felon and convicted sex offender. He’s a serial adulterer who stole from charity. The more you defend him the worse it looks on you.
Here is what appears to have happened, based on an in-depth analysis of voter turnout trends. Socialists imported millions of people into states where their candidates needed to win. They found people who had lived in the state for years but had not voted in a long time. They created fake IDs for them. Then they voted for the socialist candidates using those fake IDs. Most of them were non-citizens who were in this country legally. Republican turnout stayed consistant. Democrat turnout increased by millions. You can confirm this data.

Arizona did that kind of audit in 2020. Result was more blue votes. Prove it or piss off.

Proof or piss off.
Since NOTHING is being done to contest these Elections, and nothing was done to push through the Save America Act. I must believe, that we have one Government, controlled by Elites within their own controlled Democracy. The Republic, is History, unless revived before 2028.
Enough of the election fraud nonsense. It’s been 6 years with no proof, no court successes. Show you proof or piss off
For two years Trump was exposing the fraud and theft in the left and you idiots still voted for it. Your priority was gas gas and groceries not safety and prosperity for our country/ we are not the same… not even close

Chin up Marine. The GOP brought you fake electors, costly fake audit, planning the insurrection (Biggs) that killed police, and ESA vouchers that cost us $1 billion a year. Give Blue a chance. Oo-Rah
This is not what I voted for. It's a tough pill to swallow, but I'm willing to give @azdemparty a chance. They made a lot of promises about affordability, fraud and education. For Arizona's sake, I hope they follow through. I wish them luck. Just don't 'eff with my 2A rights.

No more unfounded election claims. That’s undermining America. Show your proof or shut the absolute fuck up.

The election’s over. You can drop the MAGA talking points. ESA was sold as a way to help low income kids. If you qualify, great. If not, go away.
I love ESAs I use them. I do a hybrid homeschool/ private school ran by a family member, because I want my kids learning math and English and not being told they need to pick pronouns.

Prove it or drop it.
Just so we’re all clear on this. Republicans DID turnout in the midterms. The Democrats manufactured almost 20 MILLION votes!!

The statute of limitations on claiming election fraud without the first evidence has expired. You must now have evidence or shut the fuck up. Your choice.
F---k the algorithm penalizing me for posting this multiple times, but the bottom line is this: In 2022 under worse economic, gas, and war conditions, there was not a Red Tsunami where all blue states flipped In 2026 under great economic conditions except for gas, and the Iran war, there WAS a Blue Tsunami where red states flipped. Either the Democrats cheated, or they have discovered a new tactic that Republicans need to figure out. Don't give Democrats an easy way out by posting the standard excuses, when the reality is they either cheated or have a superior tactic that we haven't figure out. Feel free to explain it as something other than cheating or a superior tactic 😂
