Lol as the article indicates, things are happening. Every election after Trump won the presidency has been the GOP losing. Midterms and even his 1st reelection campaign have been decent losses for the GOP. Things don’t seem like they will get better for them anytime soon, especially since they have almost not changed at all to the electoral feedback.
Not like they have a choice, and that’s rather the point. Besides, the GOP doesn’t control who runs and who doesn’t.
OTHO, they could have impeached him twice, among 100 other things they could have done to stifle this fucking mess.
Told my old boss that Trump’s election would cause the Republicans to disintegrate. He was genuinely puzzled. I couldn’t put my finger on it in 2015, but I still stated it would be the end of the party.
Republican “leaders” could, in fact, do something. They simply choose not to. In almost all cases, they are paid not to, the corrupt human garbage that they are.
For instance, they could man up and tell Trump to shut his god damn mouth, and stop breaking the law, because these things are unacceptable. Yet they refuse to do so, and continue to provide cover for him.
And thus, as you predicted 8 years ago, the GOP continues to disintegrate.
Not so simple, is it? Say you hold an R seat, in any given legislature. Polls, and reality, have shown you, over and over again, that to speak against Trump gets you thrown out on your ass.
Now where are you? What power to you have to make change, affect policy? You’re mud. Better to hang in and try to effect change from within. Better than nothing?
This shit should have been cut off in 2015, with a guillotine. Past that, already too late.
Sure, but they still have a house majority, control the Supreme Court (and a lot of judges in other courts). They basically still have all three branches of government in a stranglehold. That is far from seeing any serious consequences, and they will be able to fuck shit up for everybody for an indefinite time into the future.
This is the paradox of the Republican party, though. When they’re losing is when they’re winning. It’s a nihilistic apocalyptic group that thrives on the fears of people, much like a terrorist organization. Despite everything pointing to them being a diminishing minority, they’re able to control or paralyze much of federal and state governments, and they’re going to continue to do this for decades to come.
