"Republic Party" without President Trump?
Posted on 01/09/2021 5:10:32 AM PST by EyesOfTX
With the Trump presidency now in its final days and the Democan/Republicrat UniParty back in control of congress, talk will now inevitably turn to whether the Trump Army of 75 million voters will move to create a third party, effectively destroying the Republican Party in the process. Of course, we get this same sort of discussion anytime either party suffers a major defeat, and such efforts in the past have always failed.
But this time, things could be different for one simple fact that Tucker Carlson pointed to during his monologue on Thursday night’s show: The current leaders of the Republican Party just don’t like the vast majority of the party’s voter base, and Donald Trump does.
VDO.AI Here’s an excerpt from a story at The Daily Caller:
Fox News host Tucker Carlson said Thursday that the Republican Party leadership doesn’t “like their own voters.”
“This really is the main problem, on the right anyway. The people who run the Republican Party don’t really like their own voters,” Carlson said on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” “And they especially don’t want the voters that Trump brought,” Carlson continued. “Trump brought the party’s ranks noticeably downscale, ‘from the country club to the trailer park,’ as they often sneer. And this horrifies them. Many Republicans in Washington now despise the people they’re supposed to represent and protect.”
…
Carlson claimed that “socially anxious white professionals” feel contempt for “working-class people who look like them.”
“So if you want to understand the hatred, the real hatred, not just disagreement but gut level loathing and fear of Trump — in say New York or Washington or L.A. — you’ve got to understand that first. It’s not really Trump; it’s his voters. The new money class despises them,” Carlson said.

I disagree somewhat with Carlson’s last statement there: The visceral hatred of the Trump movement in the major media centers of the country are about both Trump and his voters. The hatred and fear of that movement is only amplified by the reality that it’s really more than 75 million, given that it’s been pretty unarguably demonstrated that the true Trump vote was artificially depressed in every state where Dominion Systems technology is in use.
And let’s be honest, the hatred between the establishment Republicans and the vast majority of the GOP voter base is entirely mutual. Here is what happened at Reagan National Airport on Friday when Sen. Lindsey Graham, who used his chairmanship of the Senate Judiciary Committee to avoid any real investigations into Obamagate and Spygate for the past two years, ran into a group of Trump supporters on Friday afternoon:
That’s an ugly scene, for sure. And remember, it’s a scene involving a politician whose Party’s ability to remain a national force depends on retaining the loyalty of those voters.
Seems like a pretty big lift, doesn’t it?
Meanwhile, the Republican National Committee re-elected Ronna Romney McDaniel, the niece of the head RINO himself, Mitt Romney, to be its leader for the coming four years:
To her credit, Ms. McDaniel worked hard to help President Trump achieve his re-election, often finding herself at odds with her Uncle Mitt in the process. At the same time, though, she has been the public face of a Party that has too often operated at odds with its own voter base.
Witness yesterday’s massive putsch against conservative users coordinated by leftist Big Tech monopolies like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google and Apple: The GOP had four years with a Republican president do to something, anything to exact some control over these corporate oligarchies, and did exactly nothing. As the purge was taking place Friday evening, not a single leader in the Republican Party had anything of any real note to say in opposition to it.
Now, after the predictably inept effort and bad outcome in the Georgia Senate runoff elections, the GOP has failed itself right back into the position it held in January of 2019: Not in control of a single lever of power in Washington, DC. As was clearly demonstrated over the past two months, that lack of control includes the U.S. Supreme Court despite Trump’s three appointments to that body.
I have never been in favor of blowing the whole thing up and starting over where the Republican Party is concerned. At similar junctures in the past, such as January 2009, it has always seemed to be that it would be more productive to work to reform the GOP from within. Given this current situation, and the near-universal disaffection of Trump voters from the GOP representatives they have sadly helped to elect, it is difficult to maintain that outlook any longer.
At best, the Republican Party has proven itself to be largely corrupt and hopelessly inept over the past four years. At worst, its elected representatives have demonstrated that, by and large, they have nothing but contempt for the people who elected them, as most recently demonstrated by their refusal to do anything to rein in the abuses of the Big Tech monopolies.
Donald Trump had 88 million followers to his now-banned Twitter account. Should he choose to do so, he has the ability to now lead much of this loyal base of support completely away from the Republican Party and establish a political party of his own. Given that Trump has no more use for the GOP’s elected officials than his supporters do, it seems unarguably that the Republican Party’s continued existence as a national force in American politics stands on thinner ice than it ever has in the past.
It couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch of people.
That is all.
This one is slightly different. Trump did not suffer a major defeat. 75 million voters suffered from fraud and a Republican party that did nothing about it other than talk. Screw the Republican Party. It will take too long to clean up.
Trump is not Done. And they know it. And they fear it.
...as well they should.
There will (hopefully) be a bunch of politicians that have to choose between their beliefs in conservatism and the corporate/government oligarchy that will soon consume them.
I think that most will vote for self-preservation.
And then these people will wonder why we won't support them.
We didn’t lose the election, that is true ( we won a huge landslide, in fact if we were fighting fair), but we WERE defeated - there is no denying that. Once again we underestimated them, and they have won - at least this battle. This game of chess goes to the most evil, corrupt, duplicitous - sadly.

Term limits are on the way without a constitutional amendment or legislation. It will begin on its own accord in 2022 and continue into 2024 and hopefully into perpetuity. People will once again realize that issues are more important than party or emotion. Platform is more important than personality. The US Congress gets revamped in the 2022 election. By that time enough eyes will be opened to the devastation created by the soon-to-be seated executive and legislature branches of government. The destruction will impact all elements of national power; diplomatic, information, military, and economy. The Republican Party is dead as a political organization. A groundswell of people will wake up and realize what a mistake was made. We will see and feel the devastation. We will vote in a way that will stop the carnage. Hopefully, the Supreme Court can or will stave off complete self-destruction in the meantime. A viable alternative is required that offers something to all US citizens. We must re-establish the notion of the American Dream. The role of our Government was never intended to provide life, liberty, and property but set the conditions for that purpose. We must stop the nonsense of diversity in favor of stressing the characteristics that unite all humanity. Have objectives that unite rather than destroy. We are more alike than we are different. The new fresh idea party will win both houses. People will be selected based on issues rather than emotion. Once the carnage has been stalled 2024 will provide the opportunity to reverse the devastation. We are the United States of America.
Whatever replaces the WhiGOP, I hope the party mascot is the Trump Lion.
Trump either takes over the party and changes it name or starts a new party ...
GOP is dead,...emailed Rubio and told him the GOP is dead..
Today Rick Scott
Will vote at the state level..
GOP Chief
Democrats have shown they plan to entrench their rule by mobs intimidating the public without consequence along with rigged elections just like Mussolini did and Republicans have shown that's just fine with them as long as they keep getting their share of the graft.
AntiFa & BLM already have dandy black outfits
"Republic Party" without President Trump?
The face of the GOP is now Kelly Loeffler.
the stinking disingenuous GOP has screwed America TOTALLY.
First, GOP had democrat Romney imposing HillaryCARE and ...
Second, Backstabbing Pres. Trump. How dare they?
Third, the GOP deserves to suffer as much as its
stupid, previously hopeful voters.
Look at the histrionics when the deplorables dared show up at their door step.
OK for the left to go burn and loot working class neighborhoods. But you kick up a little dust on their expensive shoes and they go ballistic.
Trump has more than that on his hands.
President Trump needs to ditch the republican party and start a new Conservative Party. The problem with the Present republican party is there is too much establishment dead wood in there.The Mitch Mcconnels and such.
We need to get away from that crew.Afterall they were just so helpful to President Trump and the American People. So helpfull they only gave the American Taxpayer $600.oo dollars while they shipped Billions of hard earned American Tax dollars around the world.
Screw the republican party. It need to become a part of history like the Whigs.
This would force nominal members of the current Republican Party to "show their true colors" and either switch parties (which would essentially constitute a commitment to Trumpism) or remain in the "old" Republic Party - whose candidates we, the Electorate, could then consistently vote out of office.
At present, there are too many nominal members of the current Republic Party holding elected (or non-elected) office who have consistently undermined (verbally or otherwise) President Trump's policies and initiatives.
The foundation of a new party would help us true patriots separate the goats from the sheep.
In contrast, returning to "business as usual" will allow the "Benedict Arnolds" among us to continue garnering Republican votes while, actually, torpedoing Republican virtues and principles.

After the coup is complete on January 20 the uniparty republican hacks will become politically impotent, fire eating conservatives. “Send me your money, re-elect me and we’ll get ‘em in ‘22” BS, the Obamacare election two step. There are many conservatives who’ll fall for it again unfortunately.
I get the pun (National-Sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter-Partei), but the Democrats are anything but nationalists (which has a positive ring in my ears). They are in fact globalists.
