      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).

    3. 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.

    6. 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”.

    8. 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.

    10. 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.

    11. 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.

      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.

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