Politics The Elephant in the room...The GOP today

Moving away from traditional conservative values?
Or telling certain groups what they want to hear with no intention of letting them sit at the grown-ups table?

One thing is certain the GOP has left the door open for radical groups to try to get a piece of the political power pie. Which groups will gain how much influence is the big question.

 

Those Repubs have really bad breath.

 

The link takes me to a blank white screen that takes over my tablet and shows & does nothing.

Edit: This happened after I logged into Yahoo/ATT.

EDIT:
Mental image of Vance dressed in KKK garb at a rally telling the crowd not to use the N Word...until after the election.

 

My tablet does weird shithings* from time to time.

*Shithings should be an official word,
like withe (with + the), &
stupid as a verb.

Edit: I tried the link again. This time I got the screen asking me to choose at minimum five categories for my Yahoo News feed. That would be OK, but Yahoo takes control of my tablet. Getting out of the net and back in is no big deal (it's a quick way to exit YouTube), but it can be inconvenient.

 

The GOP leadership turned the party over to NPD Trump. At first unofficially, now officially (see Lara Trump).

NPD Trump showed how easy it is to getaway with saying, and many times doing, whatever you want.

Who are the small brained Republicans going to follow, GOP leadership or NPD Trump?

 

Keeping NPD Trump out of the White House is a good start, but will the GOP be able to put the maga genie back in the bottle? He showed the party that setting aside (throwing away) integrity & ethics* in favor of embracing being two faced, having double standards, & letting hypocrisy rule, can lead to staying in power.

We know Trump lost in 2020, & in 2022 we didn't get the large red wave many pundits predicted.

Hopefully this year Harris will win big, & the Repubs will lose several seats in the House & Senate. And any actions from the maga radicals will be few, small, half-assed, & epic failures.

Maybe, just maybe, the above would convince the GOP leadership to return the GOP to being a party with integrity & ethics. But shutting down maga would be a major task, an undertaking that could lead to the formation of a third party that seriously weakens the GOP.


*Intergrity and ethics are relative terms when applied to politics.

 

The Republicans got their ass handed to them when they ran Goldwater against Johnson.
One of the reasons Goldwater was picked was the more radical wing of the Republicans then supported him, groups like the John Birch Society.
After they lost there was a major push by people like JF Buckley to get them out of control of the party.
They also worked on the Southern strategy, where they didn't came up with new words for the N word.
It was very successful.
So there is a good chance that might happen this time.
Enough conservatives will gather together, kick the straight up fascists out of the party and come up with way to sound like they want to say the N word.
The Republican party has looked like it was burnt to the ground before, after Goldwater, after Nixon, but they always rebuild.
It seems like this time will hurt them pretty bad but they are going to come back.

 

Do you think the outcast fascists could form a viable third party? By viable I don't mean a major player, more like a spoiler which can't be completely ignored.

A power struggle within such a party could be it's undoing, much like the Tea Party.

Of course their timing, this close to the upcoming elections, is no coincidence.
