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.

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 National Guard Was Never Meant to Be a Federal Tool

By Matthew Hayward July 13, 2025 Let me say this clearly: The National Guard was created to defend the states, not to enforce the will of the federal government. It was meant to serve as a local militia, an armed extension of the people under the control of the state. The highest authority a Guard member was ever supposed to answer to is their elected governor, not a bureaucrat in Washington, not a federal agency, and certainly not a sitting president weaponizing military force on domestic soil. Yes, I know the laws have changed. I know the Montgomery Amendment, the National Defense Act, and the Supreme Court’s decision in Perpich v. Department of Defense rewrote the rules. But legal does not mean constitutional. Gradualism does not legitimize usurpation. You do not get to trample foundational principles and call it progress. What is happening now, federalizing state forces to deploy them in cities without gubernatorial consent, is blasphemous. It is an insult to the very spirit of th...

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...
