The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult

[Neonmoon 38130]

Is the current Republican Party acting as a terrorist organization?

 

Party leader uses intimidation to achieve political goals. 

When presented with convicting a President for pressuring a foreign government to investigate a political adversary, the members chose party over country, 

Party leader spreads lies about free and fair election 

When presented with the defeat of a free and fair election or spreading malignant lies, the members chose party over country,

Party leader uses intimidation against VP to achieve political goal of staying in power. 

Members use violence against congress to achieve political goals. 

When presented with invoking the 25th amendment to remove an unfit President, the members chose party over country,

When presented with convicting a President for inciting an insurrection, the members chose party over country,

Party leader uses intimidation of state official to achieve political goals.

When presented with convicting a President for pressuring a Secretary of State election official to rig an election, the members chose party over country. 
 

Terrorist Organization 
an organization that uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

Can they handle this on their own? I don't believe that. The party abandoned ideology in favor of Trump fealty long ago. Never bet a trend will end. 

The GOP already crossed the point of no return. Ironically, it is incapable of genuinely acting on behalf of "America First". Party ranks over everything else.

These are painful truths.

All of their leaders were saying the same things about Trump that we're all saying today back before he was elected.  And they decided to stand back and stand by instead of doing something about it once he got elected.  Sorry I can't figured out how to just post the video, but here are clips of Gov Good Hair, Rafael, Little Marco, Senator Ladybug and Ms Nikki all speaking truth pre-election.  Hell Gov Good Hair, despite generally being a moron because he's aggy, nailed the future with a Trump presidency.  What happened to them?

I was really sad Joe Cunningham lost in 2020 but Nancy Mace doesn’t seem like the worst person on the planet. She may be more of a Romney/Kinzinger type Republican

The GOP is starting to lose corporate donors and BMDs.  Mitch lost his Senate majority.  States like Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada are not going to swing back to Republicans, and Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania sure as hell won't flip again. Trump, Hawley, Cruz, and their patriot friends that stormed the Capitol have given every Democrat running in 2022 an easy set of ads to run.  Oh, and Trump, Hawley, and Cruz's patriot friends are harassing Congressional Republicans who supported the certification.

The GOP is going to have to purge itself pretty fucking fast, or be reduced to minority status for many years to come.  The talk of the GOP clawing back seats in both chambers in 2022 has gone out the window.

And for all of the talk about power that they love, it's money that they need, and this is costing them bigly.

And lest we forget, Cruz, Hawley, etc. disobeyed The Turtle.  The Turtle does not like disobedience that costs the GOP money, power, and Congressional seats.  And The Turtle's wife bailed on Trump, so Mitch has Trump even more pissed off at him.

When asked about everything that went down, Mitch had this to say

And nobody banned Parler.  Parler folks could buy some servers, find some place to colocate and provide a connection, and be back up and running. 

Sure, it might have to be overseas (they should call up "Q", the guy running 8chan/8kun, he's based out of the Philippines).  But they could do it if they had a competent game plan in case something like this ever happened.

Shit, like I said earlier, the guy who runs Amazon hates Trump, and Trump hates him.  Hardcore and violent Trump supporters should probably never run a service hosted on a company's infrastructure controlled by a guy who hates Trump, since they probably won't have much leeway if they violate the TOS.

Unless this was their way to quietly give Bezos more money.

Man. I want what you're having. Never underestimate the Democrats' ability to get completely destroyed in a contest of messaging where they hold all the cards. Two years is a long time. And now the GOP gets to be back to attack/obstruct mode which is where they're most comfortable. 

Within a year, they're going to be sitting comfortably in their minority position, espousing fiscal responsibility and talking about woke culture and abortion as the reason why there is so much civil unrest. And without Trump as a central figure to continually remind people how terrible the GOP is, a lot of people with short memories will buy it.

Yep.  And as the state races showed, there are a lot of independents or moderate Pubs who crossed the ballot to vote against Diaper Don but down the ballot for the GOP.  I have many friends who did this.  They will go right back to straight ticket because it's Trump that is the problem.  The virus.  It's Trump who is disgusting, not their local rep or their Senator who enabled Donny all the way..... or themselves.  Nothing is wrong with them, it's all Donald.  

Now, that's not to say they will carry the national raw vote in the near future, but they can certainly win state elections and with the electoral college, anything is possible.  The counter to this, is if Trump survives and wants his vengeance.  If he disrupts by supporting primarying some of these candidates or even goes so far as supporting 3rd party candidates to fuck over some of his GOP enemies, then the GOP could be monsterously fucked for a couple of cycles, but the state races prove that the GOP could be back way before folks think....... because they're a lot of stupid fucks in this country.

Maybe not every time, this is realpolitik, but it's not going to be collegial and bipartisan until the GOP has some radical change.

Not sure where to put this but I was watching some news this morning and switched to Fox News for a few minutes and heard multiple lawmakers that were Republican saying this rhetoric and the siege on the Capitol is both sides and we need to blame the Dems along with the Republicans for what is going on.  I find it interesting that for 4 years the Republicans were all, “elections have consequences and we will do what we want”, and literally as soon as they are out of power they are now saying this is both sides fault and we need to come together and forget the past.  One congresswoman from SC said we need to listen to the 75 million people that are upset that voted for Trump.  I don’t remember their attitude for the last 4 years for all of the Democrats that were upset that Clinton lost.  Were they concerned about that half of the country then?  I get the idea of “turn the other cheek” but what is everyone’s thoughts on this.  It actually pisses me off that the Republicans are turning the siege on the Capitol (via Fox News and the like) into its the Dems fault this happened also.

The GOP only wants Biden to call off the dogs because they know Trump and his cronies are so stupid and inept that they will have left an evidence trail of their being involved in what went down that will implicate a lot of GOP peeps. They could care less about the country healing or they would never have been involved in standing by, or worse, actually encouraging the division that has been happening the last few years under Trump, especially the post-election bullshit. They are worried about their their seats being in danger in the future, or of being indicted for sedition for that shit show many were involved in encouraging and planning on the 6th. Fuck all those hypocrites. If Democrats and Biden don't shove the elephant cock of justice down their throats then fuck them too.

If they really wanted to lower the temperature, they'd be telling Trump to get his fat ass in front of the TV cameras, admit he lost, say there was no fraud and denounce any violence BY HIS SUPPORTERS before, on and after Inauguration Day.

The GOP is what is known as a “chickenshit heel” in the wrestling industry. When they have the upper hand, they’re a merciless bully who flouts rules and decorum. They will do anything they can get away with, no matter how awful. But when the tables turn, they suddenly appeal to decency and fairness in a desperate attempt to save their skin. 

I know it sounds trite to analogize politics to something as silly as professional wrestling. But that business is built on manipulating the audience’s emotions such that they lose the ability to distinguish reality from fantasy. Which is exactly what we’ve seen from MAGA world these past four years.

Perhaps the best demonstration that Trump fans view their MAGA revolution as escapist fantasy (rather than real life) is how the Capitol mob reacted to one of their own being shot with a live round. They were stunned. Paralyzed. A single shot was fired, and the pitchfork-wielding mob became a somber, helpless wake. Why? Because the vast majority of these people never expected anyone to really get hurt. It never sunk in that this was real life, not a phony confrontation staged for the amusement of everyone involved. They thought they were playing a part in a Patriots vs. Libtards wrestling show or role playing game and ended up in a real live coup with people dying. And it caught them completely off guard.

Anyway, I think we can understand a lot about the emotional appeal of Trump and the behavior of his followers by studying entertainment formats like wrestling and fantasy games. And maybe by understanding MAGA in that light, we can figure out some ways to mitigate the damage it’s causing.
