Trumpery was rejected, but continues to ravage the GOP

After Trump sunk in Georgia and pulled down two Republican Senators with him, intra-potty mayhem has ensued.

‘It’s almost like insanity’: GOP base continues to lash out over Trump’s defeat
There’s no evidence of election fraud in Georgia. Even so, the party rank and file is fixated on it — even if it costs them in the midterms.
MARIETTA, Ga. — Nowhere has the post-Trump era been more painful for the Republican Party than in Georgia, where Trump loyalists’ war on Republican elected officials is still raging, at great cost.
After the presidential election, lost by Republicans in Georgia for the first time since 1992, the party crumpled in the January Senate runoffs. In the Atlanta suburbs, once a citadel of conservatism, Republicans were blown out.
Yet if that was cause for any introspection, it was not readily apparent as Republicans gathered at county conventions in recent days to chart their course for the midterm elections and the next presidential race in 2024.
In Cobb County, the archetype of the GOP’s suburban erosion, Republican activists over the weekend were still re-litigating Trump’s baseless claims of widespread voter fraud while drafting resolutions to rebuke the state’s Republican governor, Brian Kemp, and other Republican officials for their unwillingness to overturn Trump’s loss. The Republican secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, has been all but excommunicated.
The once dominant Georgia GOP might be in meltdown in the suburbs, but the rank and file remains obsessed with Trump and the perceived wrongs of the last election.
As party activists vented at their county convention, the chair of the Cobb County Young Republicans, DeAnna Harris, stewed in the parking lot of her local party office.
“Huge mistake,” she said of the hostilities directed at Kemp and the reliving of 2020. “We’ve got to get out of this mindset. It’s almost like insanity.”
Watching the Peach Tree Keystone Cops braining one another with billy clubs, a discrete level of schadenfreude may be permitted.
Hurrah! Hurrah! we bring the jubilee!
Hurrah! Hurrah! the flag that makes you free!
So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea.
While we were marching through Georgia!
OK. I ll Have pork fried rice to go please

/——/ Enemies of the countries Commie China and Cubs.
 
You Nazis have divided this nation
Your labeling the majority of the American electorate who opted to dump the Trump at their first opportunity "Nazis" exposes your alienation from America and its democratic tradition.

Meanwhile, the ugly struggle between traditional conservatives and the weird worshipers of one dude persists within the GOP. The weird worshipers of one dude vilify their fellow Republicans for their consistently espousing a political philosophy rather than venerating a failed casino operator and faded reality tv performer.

That's deranged.

Conservative commentator Jonah Goldberg:

Fox host Tucker Carlson’s streaming special “Patriot Purge.” It’s a perfect example of propaganda that weaves half-truths into a whole lie.
“Patriot Purge” insinuates that the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol might have been a “false flag operation,” orchestrated by the FBI or the "Deep State"...
This dangerous nonsense was the last straw for me (and Steve Hayes).
[O]ne of my chief frustrations with Fox, and with cable news generally, is what you might call manufactured consensus.

Liberals are expected to be loyal Democrats and to criticize Republicans, and vice versa for conservatives... But here’s the real problem. Opinion journalists are treated as interchangeable with partisan flacks who are literally paid to defend a party and its positions.
Over time, if you’re not careful, it’s easy to internalize the idea that your job as an opinion journalist is to carry water for your party, at least on TV. The last thing a producer wants is some pundit offering nuanced criticism of his own side. Everything has to be a fight between the extremes...
But Trump’s ascendency made things much worse at Fox. Because Trump is a thin-skinned narcissist, he has no tolerance for criticism, and neither do his very vocal fans among the viewers and the punditocracy...
Traditionally, conservatives — including conservative politicians — influence presidents by praising them when they make the right decisions and criticizing them when they don’t. Trump was impervious to criticism, and over time, many conservatives stopped offering it and Fox stopped providing opportunities to present any kind of critique...

I’ve talked to scores of elected Republicans and conservative pundits, with opinions ranging from principled disagreement to outright contempt for Trump. But good luck getting many of them to say it publicly. The message, amplified constantly by Trump and his boosters, is that all “true” conservatives love Trump in every regard.
In the wake of the Jan. 6 riot, it became routine for Trump partisans to claim that criticism of his effort to steal the election amounted to an insult to everyone who voted for Trump, as if 74 million people voted for the riot and the lies that led to it.
That’s the propagandistic mindset behind that new “war on terror” nonsense. The government is not coming for “half the country” — it’s lawfully prosecuting a few hundred people who broke the law on Jan. 6. But we’re supposed to believe that the Trump base is not merely indivisible but defined by a tiny sliver of the worst actors on the right. That’s the real insult to the 74 million.
The Goldberg/Hayes saga is a manifestation of a larger trend. The audience of right-wing media such as Fox News, Newsmax and One America News Network wants little to do with resisting Trump, even if that means they are resisting the truth. Republicans who don't get news from these networks are far more unfavorable to Trump.

Surprisingly similar to 1930's Germany and Hitler....scary....

I properly identify you and your filthy party for what you are, Nazis.

Of the 60 million living Americans who voted for Biden, on a small fraction are dedicated fascists, most were just convinced to hate Trump by the little Goebbels of the Reich propaganda corps.

Losing presidential candidates had always had the integrity and love of country, for over two centuries, to acknowledge the winner, the hallmark of our democracy.

One Cry Baby Loser who couldn't handle the truth ended that admirable tradition of peaceful transfers of power and substituted a goon attack on Congress. Let's hope that isn't a new tradition.

Trump is trash.. He comes from trash. He could never be gracious or pull off a peaceful transition. Its not in him and he has no patriotism or love of country. Just love of money and attention.

And the cowardly repub party sits on their hands and allows a Mafia style attack on our country to continue. Just amazing that an entire, once proud, political party has fallen prey to a champion con man....

Just think....If trump were a professional athlete, he would refuse that his team lost the game and would spread conspiracy theories after each loss. At the end of the game, he would refuse to shake the other teams hands and, at the news conference, would come up with countless ways that he had been cheated. The man is Scum.

But this is much more serious than a game....this is the future of our country. trump is deliberately trying to take down our electoral system down. And the repub party is okay with that....because their lust of power exceeds their pride of country.

Zatrite, Nazi fucktard?

 
Zatrite, Nazi fucktard?
Actually, Clinton had the balls to readily acknowledge her electoral college loss and gave a gracious concession speech in the best tradition of American democracy:

November 9, 2016​
Trump claimed victory early Wednesday morning, saying in his acceptance speech that Hillary Clinton had already congratulated him on his astonishing win.
“She fought very hard. Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time, and we owe her a major debt and gratitude for her service to our country.”
