What happens to the Republican Party now? (2 Viewers)

[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?

Serves them right. I hope the shadow of Trump is long in the party so as to remind them what not to do.

When in the history of the modern GOP has that ever worked?

There is no bottom.

I can't think of any, so, fair point, lol. But hey, gotta start somewhere.

Trump bankrupts the GOP? Works for me.

It's some of exactly what they deserve, the rest will be the utter and total destruction of the party....

Florida schools have approved the use of “supplemental curriculum” created by PragerU, an unaccredited right-wing advocacy group that seeks to offer an alternative to “dominant left-wing ideologies,” in classrooms days after the state Department of Education approved new, controversial academic standards for Black history curriculum.

PragerU CEO Marissa Streit announced that Florida approved the nonprofit as an official vendor, allowing teachers to incorporate its educational entertainment videos, self-described as “edutainment,” as supplemental materials in classrooms.

“We have seen that our schools have been hijacked by the left. They have been politicized, they have been used by union bosses, they have been doing everything under the sun not for our children,” Streit said.

“And so we have launched PragerU Kids and we started providing great 'edutainment,' educational entertainment for children across America. But we didn’t just stop there. Now we’re actually making turnkey curriculum. Content for your schools. And the state of Florida just announced that we are now becoming an official vendor. This means that if you are a teacher in Florida, you cannot be fired for using PragerU content.”.............

PragerU has repeatedly presented disinformation and ideas rebuked by experts in its videos.

Joseph McCarthy of the Weather Channel in 2016 wrote an entire feature on PragerU’s video called "Fossil Fuels: The Greenest Energy," which had garnered 1.5 million views at that time. McCarthy wrote that the video was presented by a proponent of fossil fuel, Alex Epstein, and that the video “flubs a major date and soberly transitions between obvious inaccuracies and out-of-context claims."

Paul Gottfried in 2017 wrote a story in The American Conservative lambasting PragerU presenter Dinesh D’Souza for claiming that fascism was a left-wing idea. D’Souza claimed that it could be proven that it was a “leftist” idea by examining the political writings of Mussolini’s court philosopher Giovanni Gentile.

Gottfried, a paleoconservative scholar, wrote that “their judgment also clashes with that of almost all scholars of Gentile’s work, from across the political spectrum, who view him, as I do in my study of fascism, as the most distinguished intellectual of the revolutionary right.”

These are just the tip of the iceberg, however. The Daily Beast points out that PragerU videos have claimed there’s no wage gap between men and women and that it has praised Confederate General Robert E. Lee for crushing an attempted slave rebellion.

And others have noted inaccuracies in videos claiming that Europe is “committing suicide” by allowing mass migration, that “whiteness and conservatism” are under attack and more.

Civic groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League have also criticized PragerU’s videos, describing some as a “dog whistle to the extreme right” and “filled with anti-immigration and anti-Muslim rhetoric.”...........

How any parent would ever keep their children in a school where the teachers were using that material would be beyond comprehesion and on another note - kids aren't stupid and unless the parents carefully monitor their web use, they will soon discover that what they learn in school is far from what the rest of the world think is facts

lies and conspiracies get expensive defending, not to mention, people would rather donate to the Trump defense fund than the GOP..

 

[DaveXA]

Good. If nothing else, not having money will get their attention.

 

[Optimus Prime]

has this ever happened before? that a state party was broke? on either side?

 

[Bigdaddysaints]

Good. If nothing else, not having money will get their attention.

unfortunatly, they'll throw out a "if you don't donate, the democrats will win" plea and the money will replinish quickly.

Democrats should counter with a “they are broke and on the ropes. donate to finish them off for good”

Why isn't he in prison? Wtf?

Why isn't he in prison? Wtf?

He’s been avoiding it for years now. They elected him under indictment, IIRC.

 

[MT15]

This is what Trump did to the GOP
