The signs of the GOP's demise were present even before this.

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Both parties have their fringes.

The difference is that the real liberals have become the fringe of the Dem party, while the Marxists and gun-grabbers are the main stream.

That leaves me in a sad anyone-but-Dems position and I hate it.

Regardless, NEVER EVER EVER VOTE DEMOCRAT EVER!!!

 

[shockedcanadian]

The party will be okay once this type is marginalized. It'll have to be different. That may take a while, though.

I guess that's the question. Is the damage Trump has done to the party fleeting or irrevocable?

You tell me. If President Trump were to lose this year, would you as a liberal contribute and work for the Never Trumper heroes like Romney, Kasich or Powell who will be in the running for 2024?

I would support Kasich
I think he is a decent man

Reminds me of the Republicans I used to vote for

He was so decent that he stayed in the Primaries, knowing he couldn't win but would split the vote from Cruz, because he wanted to give Clinton the election on a platter when he had her way with the non-politician Trump rather than the more experienced and party supported Cruz.

What a guy. A Dem operative in the GOP who had to leave office by whining, "this is the Trump party now". No, it's the America First Party now. Accept it or not, that's the argument being promoted rather than China First.

 

[berg80]

Both parties have their fringes.

That's fair to say. But the folks on the fringe of the left are there because of their political views, not because they think the Moon is made of green cheese.

Bizarre theory

He stayed in the primaries because he thought voters would come to their senses

QAnon supporter Marjorie Taylor Greene wins Georgia Republican primary

QAnon supporter Marjorie Taylor Greene wins Georgia Republican primary

Marjorie Taylor Greene seems set to become the conspiracy theory's first devotee in Congress.

finance.yahoo.com

"A US businesswoman who has expressed support for the QAnon conspiracy theory has won the Republican nomination for a seat in the House of Representatives. Marjorie Taylor Greene is now expected to be elected in November to represent Georgia's heavily conservative 14th congressional district, and become QAnon's first devotee in Congress.

It comes amid a social media crackdown on the conspiracy theory. QAnon says "deep-state" traitors are plotting against Donald Trump.

Ms Greene is part of a growing list of Republican candidates to express support for the conspiracy theory."

QAnon conspiracy theorists on the ballot show Trump's influence on the GOP

When the next Congress is sworn in to office in January 2021, there's a high likelihood it will have among its Republican members someone who is sympathetic to a wild, unsubstantiated conspiracy theory known as QAnon.

..........................................................................................................
When you nominate a weak-minded dolt to run for prez who believes Ted Cruz's dad was involved in JFK's assassination, windmills cause cancer, Obama wiretapped him, and Joe Scarborough is a murderer, it's no longer a stretch when a QAnon-nut is expected to win an election for Congress.

During the last 3 1/2 years there has been a deluge of illegal, unethical, immoral, corrupt, incompetent, actions taken by the Orange Menace. Not to mention unprecedented claims of expansive presidential authority. It has made it hard to maintain a sense of outrage as outrageous things have become the norm. However, we should be concerned that the GOP has become a party of bizarre conspiracy theorists.

QAnon Crazy in the House

That ought to be great

And this nutjob WILL get elected. That is what the Republican Party has become

 

[BULLDOG]

I don't follow the conspiracy stuff, but I do see the term. I'm not sure what this has to do with the "demise" of a party. You are going to have outliers and different reasons people vote for someone, it's not just "oh I want the conspiracy person". What were their policy differences and ideas?

The Dems have them too, look at AOC. Look who just won their Primary in Minnesota, and she's been openly supportive of those who do not like Israel. It was unheard of for a Dem candidate to be so strongly outspoken against U.S ally, but she has been, and rewarded for it by her constituents.

There are some very open socialist supporters in the Dem Party, what does that mean for them and their party?

But in many cases it is just "oh I want the conspiracy person". That is one of the peculiarities of conspiracy theory nuts. If they accept you as a kindred spirit, they will believe anything you ever say.

 

[BigDave]

More bullshit from Communist Democrats who grow more and more desperate by the day seeing that Senile Joe's handlers shit the bed naming Kamala Harris as their VP Candidate

 

[Mac1958]

I think it's fleeting, if we assume that the party will have to change somewhat.

They realized change was needed after the 2012 election. They did an honest self-assessment of what had to be done. Then they went in the opposite direction with Generalissimo Trump.

The biggest obstacle for the GOP to once again become a fact based, informed, patriotic party that puts the country first is right wing media. It's going to be very difficult to stamp out the conspiracy nuts and push them back to the fringe when Faux, Limbaugh, Breitbart, are all spewing lies and distortions of facts 24/7.

Yes, agreed, and it may not happen for a while. It certainly won't happen until Trump is no longer the focal point of the party.

 

[MarcATL]

You're absolutely right OP. Trump is a manifestation of the GOP's wish list for over 4 decades now. He's their chickens coming home to roost.

There was a time when someone who espoused the crazy things QAnon people believe it would have been immediately disqualifying to be taken seriously as a candidate for public office. No longer.

The same could be said for the socialists and communists that are in the democratic party. Times are changing.

"Washington (CNN)When the next Congress is sworn in to office in January 2021, there's a high likelihood it will have among its Republican members someone who is sympathetic to a wild, unsubstantiated conspiracy theory known as QAnon.
Although the theory is nebulous enough to invite all kinds of interpretations from its adherents, at its core QAnon claims that Donald Trump has been secretly fighting to bring down a cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles that has infiltrated all levels of the US government and other elite institutions."

I invite you to give me an example of a group of candidates running as Dems who believe in nutbag shit like the Q's, who stand a chance of being elected.

You need to have your own room within the rubber room or flame zone since this is your only goal to spam the board with flame bait every day.

Biden and Harris are going to get stomped even if you can pull off your cheating scam and get a lot of states to foolishly go to mail in balloting.

And his VP choice? Horrendous. Should have picked Gabbard and he'd have had a chance.


Why does Camel Toe Harris support California's Law decriminalizing Prostitution for children as young as 13 years of age?

Why does Camel Toe Harris support California's Public Schools indoctrinating children in to the Pedophilia Culture and teaching them that sex with adults is a normal sexual preference?

Why does Camel Toe Harris support open borders, and has not taken a stand against child sex trafficking?

Why does Camel Toe Harris want to not only give Amnesty to all illegal aliens but wants to give them automatic access to welfare, social security, food stamps, health care and give them the right to vote?

Why does Camel Toe Harris support massive tax increases to force Americans to pay for the lifestyles of illegal aliens and to support them like they were on child support?

Why does Camel Toe Harris support voting rights for felons?

Does Camel Toe Harris still believe Joe Biden's Accusers who accused him of sexual assault?

Does Camel Toe Harris still believe Joe Biden is a Racist?

Why did Camel Toe Harris say if she were given the power and authority that she would hunt down and arrest, beat and or kill everyone who voted for Trump?

Lastly, will Camel Toe Harris allow Joe Biden to sniff her hair on National TV?

Desperate conspiracy theories is the only chance Trump has at reelection. Can Trump be any more of a failure? With a real president, America should have this pandemic under control and America's economy should be well on the way to recovery like China. Instead the pandemic is raging out of control, Americans are dying like flies, and the economy is gasping for air as China fly past America. This is just EMBARRASSING for the richest and most powerful country in the world.

Except this thread is about the Republican party sliding so far into the abyss, someone who believes in QAnon whack-a-doodle conspiracy theories is about to take a seat in the House of Representatives...as a Republican. Plenty of other threads discussing Biden's pick of Harris. Do you believe that the Republican party has any chance of survival if it continues to allow the fringe elements under its tent?
