“Just Say That the Election Was Corrupt, and Leave the Rest to Me”: In Georgia, Donald Trump Appears Beyond F--ked - Lemmy.world

I’m so sick of these headlines.

They remind me of the endless headlines over the years (decades, actually) of how the Republican party is ready to collapse or implode or explode or insert-other-ominous-word-here.

As with all those failed predictions of the GOP going the way of the dodo bird, until I see Trump in an orange jumpsuit I won’t believe any of the shit they claim will happen.

The GOP dies with the Boomers so we still have a bit before it goes away. The DNC will become the new right but it will be because the center moves left and a Progressive Party is formed.

The GOP dies with the Boomers

Looking at all the MAGA rallies over the last years, it looked like most attendants were significantly younger than Boomer age. Same with the guys who fly Trump flags on their pickup trucks. Same with the January 6 crowd. Same with the Proud Boys. Same with Bikers for Trump. Same with Moms for Liberty.

I think it’s wishful thinking to believe that the GOP will just vanish when the last Boomer dies. The GOP had already transformed into the party of Trump over the last couple of years, and it will keep on transforming.

It would take significantly more than old people dying fit them GOP to vanish.

MAGA is made up of people who are the scum of society. Criminals, con artists, drug dealers, etc… Hopefully you don’t think that is who the majority of voters are.

As the saying goes, “If there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis.”

I don’t care how many Republicans are troubled by Trump’s behavior, I don’t care how many Republicans think he’s a bit too much, I don’t care how many Republicans dislike the MAGA movement.

Talk is cheap.

74 million voters decided that they wanted Trump to be president for another term in 2020, decided to give Trump their vote, decided to support Trump. That makes them Trump supporters.

Not all Republicans are sitting at the same table. There are two very different tables and only one has Nazis sitting at it.

There are two very different tables and only one has Nazis sitting at it.

The one with the Nazis sitting at it has 74 million people.

How many Republicans are sitting at the other table, and where can I find that table?

Here you go The Freedom Caucus is the table you are looking for.
Freedom Caucus adds new members in the wake of House floor rebellion

Reps. Diana Harshbarger (R-Tenn.) and Eric Burlison (R-Mo.) are joining the conservative bloc.

LOL.

The Freedom Caucus is the bloc that is trying to pull the GOP further to the right. The Freedom Caucus is where all the Obama hating Tea Party radical agitators ended up. The Freedom Caucus is completely aligned with Trump.

From your own link:

After hardline House conservatives aggravated GOP leaders by halting the chamber floor in protest, the Freedom Caucus — which most of the agitators call home — is growing in numbers.

The Trump-aligned bloc admitted two new members this week

Are you just not familiar with US politics?

Yes, they are the Fascists you are looking for.
