The Republic Can Be Saved, But The Republican Party Cannot

[skews13]

Trump is a disaster, undermining national security, likely at the behest of a foreign controller, and the best thing he has going for his tenure in office is the growing economy he inherited from the predecessor he routinely rants against.

Congressional Republicans don’t care any more than Trump does about constitutional strictures or the rule of law. They have Roe v. Wade to get rid of. And Obamacare to repeal. And decades of environmental and civil rights and worker safety and social justice progress to eviscerate.

They will have to start anew. It’s been done before, and it can be again. Because the Republican Party is Trump’s Party. Every congressional and Senate Republican is a Trump Republican. Everyone who works or who has worked in the White House is a Trump Republican. And if the republic survives, it will be because the Republican Party did not. The republic still can be saved, but the Republican Party cannot.

The republic can be saved, but the Republican Party cannot

The Republic can’t be saved, but it can be resorted during the next 50 years, once the bane of conservatism is diminished.

The GOP doesn’t deserve to be saved.

I say round 'em all up and put 'em re-education camps.

We can use all the empty Walmarts and do it under the cover of a "military exercise" with a catchy code name.

It'll be easy, we can connect all the Walmarts with underground tunnels and have FEMA stock up on coffins for use after we work them to death.

Of course the first step is to have the UN confiscate their guns under Agenda 21.

The Republic was saved...from liberals...in 2016. Sorry you missed it.

1861; the year the Republican party officially embraced their desire to destroy states rights. How ironic.

Care to give one example of how “national security” has been undermined?

The Republic was saved from Madam President:

THANK YOU DONALD TRUMP!!

Our Constitutional Republic is predicated on the doctrine of the rule of law, not men – as men are in capable of ruling justly.

The rights of citizens of our Republic are paramount, not subject to the capricious whims of the ‘will of the people’ or ‘majority rule’ – where the ‘will of the people’ is often the consequence of ignorance, fear, bigotry, racism, and hate.

The rule of law affords citizens disadvantaged by measures motivated by bigotry, racism, and hate to be invalidated by the courts, regardless the ‘will of the people’ who sought to disadvantage a class of persons for no other reason than who they are.

But our Constitutional Republic and the rule of law will soon be lost, discarded by a hateful, reactionary, and extremist conservative Supreme Court hostile to the rights and protected liberties of all Americans – a reactionary Court that will rule to allow government to disadvantage and discriminate against citizens through force of law.

Except... You forget who has all the guns; and the “know how” to use them...

How stalinist of you. Are you going to shoot them too or merely let them starve to death?

And yet it is the progressives on the Court who have abrogated the individual Rights of the people. Me thinks you need to pay better attention.

Nah, the UN is gonna get together with Hillary, Barack, and that Hogg kid from Florida and come get 'em.

It says "work them to death" right in my post.

Try to say attention please.

The Republic can’t be saved, but it can be resorted during the next 50 years, once the bane of conservatism is diminished.

The GOP doesn’t deserve to be saved.

What passes for conservatism today has already been diminished. As the diary very concisely points out, the GOP isn't a party of any values at all, conservative or otherwise. They are the party of Trump. There is no way they can transition from that. They are corrupt and complicit.

After Trump, any candidate seeking office as a Republican will be forced to either embrace Trumpism entirely, and unapologetically, or reject it entirely, and unapologetically.

In other words, they will be forced to eat themselves in the most embarrassing way, while a unified Democratic party, of women, and minorities continues flipping state legislatures and governorships from red to blue.

And there are no signs Republicans have any moral compass that can stop the bleeding before that happens.

Except there is no evidence to support your predicted voting pattern...

The republic cannot be saved. If we excise liberals and utterly crush liberalism parts of the republic might be salvageable. If not, leftist tyranny will be in control until the spark of liberty again turns to fire.
