The future of the GOP isn't about Ron DeSantis or Glenn Youngkin

[C_Clayton_Jones]

“DeSantis and Youngkin both have worked to adapt to Trumpism, to find ways to tap into the excitement Trump arouses in their own way, something nearly every Republican candidate will do in the next few election cycles. But the real question we should be using to assess these candidates is not the moderation of their tone or their relationship to Trump -- it's their dedication to democracy.

In Republican politics these days, that dedication is increasingly rare. Calls for election audits, attempts to strip power from voters, threats of future insurrections -- all have been defining features of Republican politics in the past year since Trump left office. Which is why, when it comes to discussions of the future of the Republican Party and who might lead it after Trump, the main question we should all be asking is about the candidate's relationship to democracy. Are they actively working to undermine it? Are they playing along with the baroque schemes and conspiracies of the antidemocratic right? Are they speaking out forcefully against the insurrection and efforts to undermine future elections?

Where Republicans land on those questions will determine not only the future of the Republican Party, but the future of the republic itself.”

As debates continue about the Republican Party's post-Trump future, it will be critical to see past conventional political labels -- lest they conceal the true threats imperiling American democracy, writes Nicole Hemmer. The tendency to see the Republican Party as a body organized by a split...

The antidemocratic right, indeed.

Give me one example, even if it's hypothetical, on how we are stopping ANYONE from voting.

REPUBLICANS WON'T DO WHAT WE SAY WAAAAAAAH

It's no wonder democrats think we're childish. All we can do is throw insults and post crying baby photos. Be better than that man, debate the shitheads. They lose to facts, not insults.

 

[Blackrook]

Democrats allowed rioting, burning and murder to go unpunished for months and now they are pointing fingers of blame at Republicans?

I agree with everything you have lain out with but one exception, we are NOT a democracy, fuck democracy, we are a "constitutional republic!" Its the democracy thing, that was the engine fascist democrats introduced over a 120 year period, that set up the confrontation we are faced with today!

Democracy, democracy was the fascist democrat engineered riots across America in wake of a dead seven time felon junkie, democracy was ballot drop boxes and ballots mailed to every single residence in entire states! Democracy is mob rule, democracy is woke, and woke is mob rule! The difference between a democracy and a constitutional republic, is the difference between night and day!

I think the RW politicians that pull shenanigans do it out of fear. The Trump base is all they care about to get elected.
The last election had a big D turnout. They know it and who that was specifically.

What category do you put the fake russian dossier in?
I put it in shenanigans, but you probably would put it in gospel

They don't believe they lose, ever, no matter what facts you present. They don't rationally consider opposing views. You can't debate them. All they want is instant, unthinking agreement and endorsement. The believe they're entitled to it.

Debate is a waste of time. When I see an alleged adult acting like a toddler told to take a nap, I will point it out.

this next election may go the other way...

 

[Rambunctious]

We need a third party in America...I say we call it the America first party....because neither the dems or the GOP puts America first...and I for one am sick of that BS...Trump gave us hope but was run out of office by the lies told by the globalist two party system believers....

 

[whitehall]

The post proves that Younkin and DeSantis are targets of the radical left that is out of ideas and agenda and is stuck with criminals and fools. Democrats are still in charge but they can't help behaving like losers.

Yeah, that's what lily livered republicans say, just before they get their asses handed to them.

You're deluded, of course, beginning with your conflation of Marxist statism and the constitutional governance of our democratic republic. You're in the wrong country for the former.

Go east to China. They vote a straight commie ticket there. Their system's already rigged for it. You'll encounter no resistance. It's a workers' paradise and has an endless supply of cotton candy.

Long have I been amused when left libs take time to tell GOPers how they should be just like the left libs to be successful.

Clayton doesn’t debate at all and in fact the childish taunts thrown at him is the best they deserve…

To be successful, huh? Yeah, they're reeeeeeeeal successful.

And when the GOP retake the House and possibly the Senate in November what will you contribute that to?

Wait, Biden is already making the excuse the elections will be stolen, I already know the drill…
