homersapien 12,248 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Obviously, as this piece demonstrates, the MAGA Republican Party has little in accord with - what I call - "real" conservatism. They've become contemptuous of many of our founding institutions and traditions and are deliberating trying to game the system, tradition be damned, rule of law be damned. It's reckless. It's certainly not conservatism. Thank God some of them are starting to pay a price. Republicans - like all parties, including Democrat - have always had with radical/extremists factions. The problem is their radicals have taken over. It's going to leave a vacuum post Trump. It will be interesting to see how it's filled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting...and potentially scary. Fingers crossed that sanity will prevail, but it's hard to anticipate who can gain influence when people are desperate.

After all, it's losing for them. So the choice they are faced with is: who replaces Trump? (And the party is controlled by Trump loyalists.) This is an opportunistic time for Democrats to expand their base in the "middle" if they can pull it off. I think they are well-position for that. (I'm not a political scientist, but I did sleep in a Holiday Inn Express last night. ) Edited August 19 by homersapien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean capturing more "middle" voters by dent of the Republican Party moving even further to the right. Same strategy as this election.

The never ending legal/impeachment stuff has only strengthened Trump throughout the years. Beat him at the ballot box and stop with the distractions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vote blue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
