When you have no legitimate issues to stand on, you grab at the fringe. That’s what happened in the 80’s and now, the GOP had to pay the piper. Here’s hoping the infighting starts and the GOP consumes itself, fractures, and dies.
Evil things happen when a pseudo-theocratic cohort (based on weird unconventional interpretations of established religious tenets) melds with segregationist/supremacist/nationalist cohorts (seeking to overturn civil/voting rights, globalism, immigration, equality, and democracy) by any and all means possible.
I note many of the conservative columnists are belatedly having second feelings (“thoughts” is too far a stretch) about their fawning loyalty to The Destructive Dimwit.
You know Gorrell, perhaps if you had used your position to coax, goad or impel the ultra-MAGA conservatives to a less “My way or the highway” stance your side may have done better.
The loss the GOP suffered? It is YOUR fault. You and all the others like you who won’t listen.
Abortion, fighting student loan relief, and just not being perceived as representing the values of voters were the 3 big reasons the Red Tsunami turned into the Red Tinkle.
Just think what could’ve happened had the high court put off on making its anti-Roe decision until after the midterm elections. It’s a good thing the court isn’t very politically savvy.
Bob, do you have any examples over the last 50 years of the Rs making a nationwide “oops”, reflecting on it, and NOT doubling down? After writing that I do see why you favor them…it enables you as a lazy cartoonist to know that the party is going to do the same thing over and and over again so you can match them to show loyalty.
Polls consistently show that the majority of Americans think Abortion should be legal. Why would you expect any other result with Republicans pushing otherwise?
You got that right (for once). But it wasn’t just Abortion. The smart money was saying (to Democratic hopefuls) for heaven’s sake, don’t talk about “democracy”, no one cares about “democracy”. But turns out that people care a lot about it.
Ironic, isn’t it? It took a Republican president and a Republican majority in the Senate to appoint an extremely conservative Supreme Court, who then overturned Republicans’ most-hated precedent and for what? To turn the “Red Wave” into a trickle and create the conditions necessary for a true civil war within the GOP.
