What happens to the Republican Party now? (1 Viewer)

[MT15]

This election nonsense by Trump may end up splitting up the Republican Party. I just don’t see how the one third (?) who are principled conservatives can stay in the same party with Trump sycophants who are willing to sign onto the TX Supreme Court case.

We also saw the alt right types chanting “destroy the GOP” in Washington today because they didn’t keep Trump in power. I think the Q types will also hold the same ill will toward the traditional Republican Party. In fact its quite possible that all the voters who are really in a Trump personality cult will also blame the GOP for his loss. It’s only a matter of time IMO before Trump himself gets around to blaming the GOP.

There is some discussion of this on Twitter. What do you all think?

McCarthy was "smart enough" to not even extend his. He knew what was up.

 

[B4YOU]

FWIW, I think it was a long, incremental slide with plenty of blame to go around.

also, it seems Rs will still stand by Trump, someone who openly wants the Constitution terminated.

Party and tribalism > Country and Constitution

This is how nations go down the road of fascism and genocide.

who wants to shake the hand of a coward?

The only thing that would have made it better is if they would have spit on the ground in front of them.

No need to stoop to their level. But this not shaking hands needs to be pushed harder and talked about for as long as possible..

 

[MT15]

Lol. They’re still trying to take credit for something they voted against.

They deserve worst than that. Their level is treason so spitting on the ground in front of them isn't to their level IMO. I'm done with go high when they go low. Going low is the only thing they understand.

Seems they have somebody in mind, or they are about to find out who was involved:

Credit where credit is due. Took too long to be this explicit but at least he has done it:

oh my!


“I’ll tell you my priorities,” said Hartzler, a Republican. “Protect religious liberty. Protect people of faith. And protect Americans who believe in a true meaning of marriage. I hope and pray that my colleagues find the courage to join me in opposing this misguided and this dangerous bill.” She teared up toward the end of her remarks.

Do these people make it out like it's an attack because now their views and their feelings aren't special anymore? Is that it? Why the hell else would a grown woman cry over people she'll never meet getting married?

Because she's a brain washed idiot and thinks "god" is going to punish the America for supporting marriage equality.

If they'd just say that I could understand.
It may be outrageous, cruel and sadistic, but it makes sense. YHWH has a well-known penchant for punishing whole nations over the sins of a few.

These guys just don’t give one shirt about the truth. He got immediately called out, but all his fellow insurrectionists won’t see that or care. And right wingers will read about it later on any number of conservative trash sites.





He knows the congresswoman wouldn’t have been moving her office and wouldn’t have done that. Oh and people threw up to him his shady dealings in the past as well.

He's been called out on it repeatedly and still won't let it go.

^ That's from less than 30 minutes ago, *after* he's been informed that Jackson Lee's team had nothing to do with this. This dude isn't fit to serve in congress.

These days not only is he fit to be in Congress, he meets the Republican criteria for the Senate.
