Good morning kids. The Republican Party is no more. It is dead. It has ceased to be. It has joined the choir invisible and is pushing up the daisies. In the wake of last November's election, perhaps the most stunning upset in at least a generation and a complete shock to the Deep State establishment, instead of parlaying its victory and national mandate to begin the attempt to rollback the last eight to possibly 50 years of the Fabian Socialist counter-revolution, this collection of thieves, drunk on their own power and influence, have decided it better to keep lining their pockets by protecting their ideologically-driven Marxist cohorts in the Democrat Party than to try and save some vestige of the nation and system that got them elected in the first place.
But wait; there's more. And it's worse by orders of magnitude. Not content to merely play the role of Emanuel Goldstein with a wink and a nod to the Democrats and their Media overlords, with the victory of Donald Trump, their hatred of this man and by extension we who elected him has caused this group of supine stooges to actually lose their minds. John McCain, Mitt Romney and Marco Rubio are consciously and willingly helping to mainstream the ranks of Democrat-protected and funded terrorists and anarchists while blood-libeling we the people and the President as racist crackpots. It would be bad enough if these three bastards were merely backbenchers from a battleground state. They're not; they are leaders of the party and presidential candidates, two of whom were nominees. In the name of God, do you not know what you're doing?! Are you that spiteful and greedy as to not understand the goals and motivations of the people with whom you have just jumped into bed?!
The GOP hates its own voters at this point. The party leadership and the party base couldn't be further apart if they tried. The GOP establishment is essentially the Democrat wing of the GOP; they have more in common with the Democrats than they have with the people who's votes they court. If you needed any more proof, just take a look at the election last year.
The two people in the running who had any chance what so ever of getting the nomination were outsiders to the GOP. Every single GOP establishment politician dropped off the radar. Even some good ones like Scott Walker and Bobby Jindal couldn't remove the GOP stain from their candidacy, and thus got the boot. Being associated with Jeb Bush was the kiss of death in the 2016 race.
And now you have people like the human shitstain, John F'n McCain, who has used his "war hero" status to deflect attention from his decades upon decades of corrupt, self-serving time as a Senator, actively attacking Donald Trump every chance he gets.
The GOP isn't just The Stupid Party. At this point, its the Suicidal Party as well. Because it's killing itself by shooting at the people who vote for the GOP. Or at least, the people who USED to vote for the GOP.
a big part of the problem lies in the system its ownself. the lack of term limits for congress is akin to tenure for academia and there is no way short of a coup to replace the whole gang in one shot. we can only replace about 60% of the crooks in any given election if we remove every incumbent. if i take a glass and fill it with the dregs of a cesspool, then replace 60% of that with fresh water, would you drink it? as mostly cajun so aptly phrases it: we're not voting our way out of this.
ReplyDelete"... no way short of a coup..."
ReplyDeleteI've been saying it for years. Second American Revolution before 2025. Trump was our last attempt to work within the system. The system does not want to be "worked with". It wants to control, and the Republicans in DC are perfectly fine with that, so long as they can at least be the Opposition Party, and occasionally get to feel the throttle in their own hands.
Meanwhile, We The People are discovering what those inside the Beltway truly think about us. Problem (for them) is, unlike those pathetic college-aged kids with neither brains not ambition who co-opted the phrase, We Are The REAL 99%.
