What happened to the Republican party?

[konradv]

You lost me at "kill democracy." Even the democrats can't explain what that even means.

Riddle me this........

Na, nevermind. I'm not into riddles and childish hashtags tonight.

Another liberal (this time it's berg80) doesn't get it.

America is headed for disaster. Patriots like Donald Trump and Stephen Miller get it. They understand what will happen if we do nothing to stop it.

No I admit that you lost and are resorting to insults to try and throw off the scent.

YOUR scent?

You stink.

No one wants to smell your rotten odor.

English must be your second language. The Republican Party has not won the popular vote count since Bush. Its getting worse, not better.

/----/ The popular vote is a meaningless statistic for presidential elections. DUMMY.

Trump's GOP shows its extremism could be a problem in November​

If former President Trump and his fellow Republicans lose in November, weeks like this might be to blame.
Why it matters: Trump is beloved by the Republican Party's MAGA base. But the far-right stamp he's put on the GOP is bursting into view in ways that are giving even some Republicans pause — and could complicate their push for the swing voters they'll need in November.

• By week's end, Trump's GOP was tied to calling frozen embryos children, appeals to kill democracy, and giving Vladimir Putin a pass on targeting his enemies.
• It's all giving Democrats another chance to cast MAGA Republicans as extremists bent on destroying rights and traditions that most Americans support.

The movement to the far right by the former GOP, now POT, is well documented and well understood. As is the cost the party has paid as MAGAist candidates have been largely rejected for their allegiance to the extremism of trumpery. It's a big part of the reason what was supposed to be the congressional Red Wave in the last election cycle completely fizzled.

Far more difficult to explain than their radicalization, which actually began in the 80's, is their choice of a current leader. He does not possess conservative bona fides. Or any coherent political philosophy for that matter. Yet he has galvanized support like no other figure in US history around his boorish personality.

As a consequence, the party has morphed in to one working on a national ban on abortions, virtually unrestricted gun ownership of any kind of gun, is in denial of the scientifically proven affect of burning fossil fuels which releases billions of tons of CO2 in to the atmosphere, support for voter suppression laws, turning back the clock on gay rights, centralized power in the hands of the executive, the right of the minority to rule, etc.

It didn't use to be this way. Repubs from Eisenhower to McCain were reasonable men who sought compromise rather than confrontation. Their impulse when addressing a national problem was, "how can we fix this?" "We" meaning both Repubs and Dems. The first impulse of MAGAists is to ask, "how can we blame this on Dems and then obstruct anything they want to do to address the problem."

/----/ We greatly appreciate the advice you give that will help us defeat evil democRATs in November.

My nominee is 'anyone but Trump.'

That's all you've got.

You'll vote for one of the dumbest politicians in history because she's "not Trump".

Sorry but that's butt stupid. That makes you dumber than her.

The Trumpsters think that they and their boi king are more intelligent than Kamala Harris.

I'm at the point where.....bring it. Let Lamaka win, let her go ahead with her food price fixing and bring on the bread lines.

Bread lines come with firing lines.

It will split the nation, and I don't care anymore.

I do. I have kids.

I hope those good vibes fill your stomach.

Homeless people are walking around with weapons now. They don't feel safe anymore.

We understand, Mac, that dumping on fellow Americans makes you feel superior. How much of USMB bandwidth have you wasted in this pursuit of inflating your ego?

^^^ And they say things like this while deflecting for their fellow Trumpsters, who gleefully dump on Harris with the nastiest, ugliest, most condescending personal insults they can conjure.

Group pathology, and ugly as hell.
