      They wanted someone who could show their wickedness without remorse and this man shouted “here I am, send me”

      It should change it’s name from Grand Old Party (GOP) to Corrupt Oligarch Republican Party (CORP).

      It was always heading this way. Trump is the reason they are in power and when he is gone the power vacuum he leaves behind will be politically crushing.

      Who is going to fill the void? Vance, Rubio, Carlson?

      Its going to be extremely difficult especially if the Democrats show the American people government can work.

      All the GOP candidate political mail I’m getting is just „I support Trump“, „I’m endorsed by Trump“, etc with no actual policy anywhere to be found. It’s just a straight up cult at this point

      The GOP adopted the Dixiecrat ideals in the Reagan era. Boehner and Ryan and let the “Tea Party” take over, completing the switch from modern values to pre Civil War values. The party continues to slide into absolute racism and misogyny with every step. Trump is the symptom, not the cause.

      As for the weaponization find, Trump need not worry. No one need worry… in a week, two at the most, the Republicans opposing this find will shut up. Plus, other things will take over the news. After all, these were the republicans who were upset about Jan 6th and then soon forgot about that too.

      This has been incredibly obvious since any Republican opposing his coup was primaried in 2022.

      My favorite description of the MAGA cult is „the last dying breath of the confederacy“.

      The amount of American cowardice and greed is astounding. This “Christian Nation” has raised nothing but abusers and grifters, to the detriment of us all. America is built to on a mountain of skulls, and the chickens are coming home to roost.

      Trump will be gone at some point and Republicans will have created no path forward. But, that’s probably for the best.

      The conservative brain is primed for fear and hierarchy.

      Trump is just the latest in a long line of bullies, and is just much more obvious and boorish about it.

      Reagan is still held up as a gold standard of conservative ideology, and his administration was largely responsible for the destruction of the middle class and the backsliding of major social safety nets and protections.

      When Trump eventually goes away, either through election or other reasons, conservatives will just latch on to the next carnival barker who talks a big game.

      Trump is a symptom, not the underlying disease.

      That’s not totally fair. They also firmly stand for tax cuts for the rich

      Didn’t start out that way, but it sure became very cult like pretty quickly. At first many republicans were against Trump and accurately called him out as a con man. Then he won and they decided power was more important than good governance.

      No, it’s a terrorist organization. And the fact that democrats can’t even bring themselves to acknowledge this speaks to how much trouble we are in.

      Cassidy should have known he was going to lose his seat. Why he hasn’t spent the last 18 months doing what is right by conscience shows the measure of a man he is. I respected him as a physician and a man who vote to convict. No more.

    23. Alamo1049 on

      Alright guys. We were here in 2016. It’s been 10 years already. Can MAGAts accept that they are a cult?

    24. MoonjuiceTheory on

      If one person becomes the entire platform, then it’s less of a party and more of a personality movement

    25. cawkstrangla on

      I think it’s not honestly what it is. 

      The average trump voter for sure is in a cult. 

      But the people running the party and controlling the party hate trump but love what he lets them do. They are grifting the fuck out of this country and using the power trump gives them with his idiotic voting base to reshape the country into a machine that benefits them and their economic class.

      True but it’s a cult that Reason magazine helped to put in the power.    

      Reason magazine has been publishing a lot of much more „reasonable“ sounding articles lately, but during the last election and for years before that they were definitely on the side of the right wing libertarian Republicans.     

      Now that they see that their Frankenstein monster is out of control, they’re backpedaling furiously, but it’s all just to cover their ass.

      Thank you, Captain Obvious.

      We knew that in 2016 when the GOP did nothing about ‚grab them by the pussy‘ and his making fun of reporters with medical conditions.

      We’re just recycling the same revelations and shock that we’ve been having for years and years. 

    40. Environmental-Age149 on

      The people who have been screaming this since 2016 and so f*ing tired, let me tell ya

    41. AnonEMoussie on

      Somehow the article’s author just now got the memo that we had in 2016.

    42. Mr-ReDiCulouZ on

      And every last member who has been complicit should be held accountable.

    47. Mangalorien on

      For us grown ups watching this shit show, this has been evident since 2016.

    48. Dblock1989 on

      I don’t even know what the Republican party platform is anymore. It is literally just „I support Trump“ now.
