they had no problem ending fiscal austerity as long as it lined their pockets with gold.

It all makes sense to those who always realized that the GOP was never for fiscal austerity. The Republican Party has always been about wealth redistribution from the people to the oligarchs. I get a lot of shit wrong but quickly recognizing in my first 5 years as a voter that Republicans absolutely weren't fiscally conservative in any real sense was a good one to get right.

I've got the house to myself today with very little work to get done. I've also got a bunch of weed. My tentative plan is to get stoned out of my mind and watch the destruction of the GOP in real time. If I also happen to catch a bunch of fascists getting clubbed and maced, then that's just gravy.

I clearly remember in the 50s when I asked my dad "What's the difference between Democrats and Republicans?"  He replied "Republicans are for rich people, Democrats are for people like us".  I think of this every time I ride around and notice that most of the Republican campaign signs are in front of the biggest houses and newest cars, boats, atvs, wtfever.

Much harder to put demographics in baskets these days. A poor white person is much more likely to vote for Trump than a rich white person.

Ohh yes Senator, keep trying to reason with these people, let us know how that works out. Reminds me of the time protesters took over the lobby of my old building where Transcanada (keystone pipeline) officed. I tried to have a polite conversation with one of the hipster protesters trying to explain piping oil and safer than putting it on trucks or trains, which was the alternative. In response, he and his friends burst into a "hell no, we won't go" chant and I learned a valuable lesson, a lesson Senator Young is in the process of learning now.

Today is the culmination of the GOP's embrace of outright lies as an integral part of their campaigning.  Once you convince folks to believe lies. And then you help amplify the lies, embrace the lies, coddle the lies, here is where you end up.  A huge swath of the Republican party willing to overthrow Democracy over lies.  When Senators and Congressmen embrace the lies and use them to put on a political show, it's dangerous.

Of course like Ari Fleisher said... it's really the Dem's fault....

I love that Trump's kids, as well as Trump, are vowing to primary and defeat anybody not loyal to him.

I fucking love this.  Would be awesome if we got a new and competent party out of the ashes, that I'd be willing to vote Republican  again (or Whig or whatever if you're armybrat), but I don't see that happening.  Too many individuals/chefs in the kitchen, who are far too greedy and who only want something to boost their stature, that aren't willing to build something that will last beyond an election cycle or two.

This is so far beyond even considering right now. Anyone associated with the Republican Party from 2016-21, in any way, is irredeemable.

I quit voting Republican at the 2016 election (couldn’t vote for Hillary either - hate that woman). I don’t see myself voting republican ever again. I have nothing in common with these idiots whatsoever. I had D campaign posters in my yard this November for the first time. I’m guessing there’s a whole lot like me.

This. Had been a lifelong R and voted for Mitt, even though the Mormon thing kinda bugs me, but he’s a decent human being who respects other views. Voted Johnson in 2016 and Biden in 2020. Gonna take some massive change before I can see ever voting R again in a presidential election.

[BuckeyeInSeattle 36]

I'm one of the very few*actual* Socialists in the Democratic party, and even I recognize the need for a strong, principled Conservative party. 

It wasn't that many years ago that the GOP could have addressed increasingly unfavorable demographic trends by deciding to offer a brand of conservatism that would be acceptable to a meaningful minority of people of color; to take a true conservative stand that the government has no reason to be concerned with who a person chooses to love and build a life with; and to push for conservative solutions to the fact that a sizeable majority of Americans have not benefited very much from the efficiency and productivity gains of the last 50 years.  All of this was on the table as recently as the 90s.  By instead relying on the Evangelical wing of the party to make the gains needed to counteract shifting demographics, they painted themselves into an increasingly smaller corner-- to the detriment of the country.

[BradInATX 9208]

I'm actually seeing a bit of rationality out of the few Trumpy friends I have on social media. My long-time buddy who is a cop and his wife are your very typical Trumpers, and both of them posted that yesterday was unacceptable. The wife even posted that she blames Trump and vented that she supported him through everything but this was too much.

Granted, they're engaging with their friends who are claiming that they are all Antifa plants, but it's half-hearted wishcasting. 

Most of my friends that are Trump supporters are on the more intelligent side of the Trump spectrum, granted. And the particular people I'm talking about are not at all the racist, xenophobic types. And of course there are still a good number of morons who support and revel in what happened yesterday, and we can't fix that. But what happened yesterday did offend even some of Trump's most hardcore supporters. It's good to see.

So just like Trump said, "I could incite a riot, say I am going to lead the riot, have somebody killed in the riot, have the capitol breached in a coup attempt...

Quote

Many of America's top businesspeople have had enough of political pandering to the mob, and plan to deny future contributions to those who egged it on.

Why it matters: Senators like Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz may have been auditioning for 2024 presidential runs, but have alienated some of those who could have helped fund those campaigns.

 

Quote

On Monday night, 36 hours before the insurrection, Yale School of Management professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld invited a group of high-profile CEOs and investors to a virtual meeting at 7am the following morning, to discuss expected congressional objections to the presidential certification process.

This was the second such meeting since the election, the first of which was on Nov. 6 after President Trump made clear that he favored conspiracy over concession. The group also met after George Floyd's murder, and has regularly held in-person gatherings over the years, usually with Chatham House rules.

 

Quote

One attendee told Axios yesterday morning: "The amount of anger at these 11 senators was more intense than any I can recall directed with so much universality. There is real anger at these people, particularly Hawley and Cruz, that they don't really understand. ... We all know we need public/private partnership to get through this pandemic, and these 11 are doing something they know is wrong, which hurts those efforts, for purely personal reasons."

Sonnenfeld says that polling shows CEOs are currently among America's most trusted institutional voices, and that several urged him to convene the Tuesday meeting.

 

Quote

Sources say that one topic of conversation, and agreement, was to no longer financially support congressional election deniers, either directly or indirectly (via PACs, etc). And possibly to support primary challengers.

There is some skepticism that participants will stick to this informal and private pledge, but Sonnenfeld expects that outside groups like the Lincoln Project and academics will call public attention to those who stray.

He adds that Hawley is in a particularly precarious position, as he has no seniority that would tempt some CEOs to trade principle for access.
