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?

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Lindsey Graham did not agree on much before the South Carolina Republican died suddenly. But earlier this year, Graham helped usher a bill known as the DEFIANCE Act, which the progressive New York Democrat sponsored in the House, through the Senate via unanimous consent.

The bill, which AOC co-sponsored with Republican Rep. Laurel Lee of Florida, would allow victims of nonconsensual deepfake AI pornography to file civil lawsuits against people who produce, distribute and solicit that type of pornography, as well as those who intend to distribute such images. It sailed through the Senate with zero objection.

But while it enjoys the support of House Speaker Mike Johnson as well as right-wing firebrands like Reps. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) and Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) as well as progressive Democrats like Reps. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) — somehow the bill is languishing in the House of Representatives.

“There's been some reporting recently that some of the block around this may literally just be because my name is attached to it,” Ocasio-Cortez told The Independent on Capitol Hill Thursday.

“I gladly celebrate and welcome Josh Hawley's support on this,” Ocasio-Cortez said of the Missouri Republican senator who supported the bill. “Before his passing, Lindsey Graham's was a champion on DEFIANCE as well, and I think that we should be able to put these, you know, personnel things aside in order to help women, children, and people of all genders.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson came out in favor of the legislation to The Independent earlier this year. In January, Ocasio-Cortez and a bipartisan group of co-sponsors joined Paris Hilton to lobby for the bill’s passage.

But so far, it is stalled in the House. It has not so much as come up for a vote in the Judiciary Committee. Politico reported on Thursday that some Republicans do not want to pass the legislation because AOC is the main sponsor and if it passes, that would be a big win for the progressive Democrat ahead of the midterm elections.………..:

Unfortunately, the ones who need to listen don't care.

This is quintessential Republican governance. At every level and in every way, they fork over communities and regular people all in the name of billionaires and industry. All of their policies are driven to hurt normal people.

It really distressing that so many citizens in this country do not understand this and are too ignorant to acknowledge it.

This is how it’s done. This is also why cowardly GOP piss ants aren’t having town halls anymore.

Just retire you idiot. No more 70 year and up celebrities in politics.

its probley because the right wing politicans are sacred and afraid that at the town halls they might get called out by a bunch of regular everyday people and they will challenge the right wing politicans to fights in the ring aka the squared circle and or fights in the octogan

which brings me to say if the right wing politicans are scared to have town halls then the wwe hall of famer donnie j trump should call triple h and or dana white and ask them to hire mma peeps or wwe peeps as the right wing politicans bodyguards
