Newt Gingrich: Joe Biden is Trumpism's best asset -- why do Washington elites find this so hard to understand?
The Washington establishment still can’t comprehend the dynamic that allows former President Donald Trump to withstand constant attacks and media hits without losing his core supporters.www.foxnews.com
Imagine you are a rock-solid Republican and you have held your nose at some of President Trump's antics but support....essentially every tangible thing he did for the past four years (taxes, immigration, international agreements, the economy, regulations). And now this series of events of January 6th, and YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH! You are LEAVING!
OK. Then President Biden revokes the permits for the Keystone XL pipeline. Then he stops construction of the border wall, a stunt that will COST MORE THAN COMPLETING IT. Then he rejoins the corrupt WHO. Then he illegally claims that we are back into the Paris Climate fiasco and the foolish Iran agreement that Iran never actually lived up to. Then he opens up immigration from the shit-hole mainly-Muslim countries. Then he starts releasing thousands of bogus asylum seekers, promising to let in hundreds of thousands more per year, even KNOWING THAT MORE THAN 90% OF THEM HAVE NO LEGITIMATE CLAIM UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW. And on and on. It never ends.
OK people, if you leave the Republican Party, where are you going to go? To this shit festival?
As stated in the linked article, Joe Biden is the greatest hope for re-unifying the Republican Party under Trumpism, if not under Trump. He has undertaken more mindless, self-destructive, vindictive actions in a month than any President in history. He has NO POLICIES other than repudiating Trump's accomplishments.
Where are you going to go? To the Democrats? Ain't happening. We see these fatuous articles about Republicans leaving the party, but they are nothing but Leftist wishful thinking. Americans who actually work for a living (as few Leftists do) know which side of the bread is buttered.
American conservatives, not Republicans, but REAL conservatives, are appalled at the total incompetence and mismanagement of the American economy. The business community wants economic and social stability, and Trump delivered neither. You can plan long term when the President might wake up tomorrow and start another trade war.
The Repulican Party didn't even bother to have a platform this last election. The vote was either, we're with Trump, or we're not, and many more Americans are NOT with Trump. The assumption that 74 million people voted FOR Trump is a total fallacy. Many of those 74 million voted for the (R) after his name and nothing more. Millions more voted against the Democrats.
Unless and until Republicans ditch the white supremacy and the authoritarianism, they will continue to be a party that decent people will not support. They're lost mainstream Americans and are just the party of lies and hate at the moment. That's why people are leaving. The Republican Party offers NOTHING to the American people but hate and violence.
Ahhhh, I love the smell of libtard straw man arguments in the morning.
It's not a strawman argument. The Republican Party has gone full blown authoritarian with their refusal to hold Trump accountable for any of his crimes against the nation. They won't even try to stop him from doing it again.
Wall Street and the business community sent a very strong signal to Republicans when they announced no further donations for Republicans who voted against certification of the election. Today, the Washington Post has a big story about a big money Republican donor who is demanding True the Vote refund the $2.5 million dollar donation he made to "stop the steal", and I'm willing to bet he's just the first.
BEFORE the election, a European think tank dubbed Trump's Republican Party an anti-democratic authoritarian political party and everything that has happened since November 3, 2020, has confirmed that assessment.
Back in the 1980's, the Democratic Congress voted to condemn the apartheid regime of South Africa, and Ronald Reagan vetoed the Bill. At the time, I thought it bizarre that Reagan would veto a bill condemning Apartheid, and sanctioning the South Africans. You're America - Home of the Brave, land of the free. Why would you not condemn Apartheid. But today, it's makes perfect sense that he did it.
Republicans never believed the words of the Constitution. Ever.
