Are Republicans really that stupid?

Are Republicans that stupid?

Not since 1984 has Washington State’s electoral votes gone to the Republican Party.

So here is my question. Unless you believe Washington State is a swing state and that the Republicans, for the first time since Ronald Reagan’s reelection in 1984, have the chance of going red, you are all arguing and dividing the party for no reason!

I didn’t vote for McCain in 2008. Do you want to know why? The only important reason I need to give you is this; there was never a chance he was going to be president; there was an even smaller chance than 0 that he would win WA State. So I voted for someone who more closely represented my conservative values, Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party.

I get so tired of listening to people grill people to vote for the lesser of evils if you don’t back the nominee, you are supporting the other guy… That logic can only be intelligently used if the electoral votes are possibly going to the Republican Party.

Unless WA State is a swing state, IT DOESN'T MATTER!!! It doesn’t matter if you vote Republican, Libertarian, Constitution Party, or if you write in Mickey Mouse.

So why on earth are Republicans cycle after cycle arguing with each other over casting a meaningless vote? There can be only one reason; we are stupid.

We are stupid, and instead of working together to win down-ticket races, we divide ourselves over an election that we are not even participating in. We argue with one another, demand people support the nominee, and fight like hell with each other as if it could make any difference in the outcome.

Meanwhile, things we do have the power to influence, local elections, suffer from personal resentments that run deep and last for years, sometimes decades, and even generations.

I beg of you all, unless WA State is a swing state, PLEASE SHUT YOUR FACE and learn the process.

How the Drug War Killed Liberty

By Matthew Hayward 10/25/2025 When the State Declares War on Behavior Earlier this month, President Trump ordered United States military strikes off the coast of Venezuela, killing alleged “narcoterrorists.” He later boasted, “ We’re just going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. ” Those words should chill every American who believes in liberty. Fifty years after Nixon declared his war on drugs, it has evolved from domestic raids to international executions, all under the same failed philosophy that government violence can cure human vice. When the state declares war on human behavior, it always loses and takes the people down with it. Every prison cell, every overdose, every cartel bullet is a monument to the arrogance of government trying to legislate morality. Back in 1988, Ron Paul said it best on The Morton Downey Jr. Show: “You can’t legislate morality. You can’t force people to be better by passing laws. If you want to solve moral and social problems, y...

When Government Demands Papers We Refuse

By Matthew Hayward 9/19/2025 The Supreme Court just paused a lower court order that had limited federal immigration stops in Los Angeles. That stay lets federal agents resume roving patrols and interior operations that critics say rely on appearance, language, job, or neighborhood to pick people for questioning. This matters because it normalizes a posture of suspicion. Checkpoints miles inland and roving patrols turn movement inside the country into a condition to be earned rather than a freedom to be enjoyed. The government already claims expanded authority inside the 100-mile border zone. That claim, plus an open green light for stops based on appearance, is a recipe for arbitrary enforcement. Philosophy of resistance John Locke told us that the consent of the governed is the foundation of legitimate power. When rulers invade life, liberty, or property, or when they become arbitrary disposers of people’s lives and fortunes, the social compact is dissolve...

The Quiet Surrender of Liberty

By Matthew Hayward The slow poison of complacency is the death of the fighting spirit. History is filled with examples of once-free people who gradually surrendered their liberty, not in a single stroke but through a series of quiet concessions. Tyranny often doesn’t arrive with the sound of thunder; it creeps in like a thief in the night, taking advantage of human complacency. The most maddening aspect of this process is not the power-hungry forces behind it, it is the passive, apathetic acceptance by the very people it seeks to control. Complacency is the death knell of liberty. It dulls the senses, erodes vigilance, and normalizes oppression over time. What once sparked outrage and resistance becomes routine, accepted as the new normal. The body scanners at TSA checkpoints, the Patriot Act, the ever-expanding surveillance state, each started with public protests and fiery debates. Now, these violations of privacy and freedom are woven into the fabric of everyday life. Why do pe...
