You've certainly exposed yourself and your agenda with that very revealing reply.
Thanks for your self destructive candor.
I'm just pointing out the obvious.......as I watch it happen.
The party came together under Reagan with a conventional economic platform of Free Trade and Friedman principles.
Not only has half the party rejected the platform that worked, but they have raised social conservatism's ugly head to a point where it has overcome normal political activities and replaced it with social warfare, with immigration folded into this new dynamic.
People traditionally resist a governance that screws with their individual lives to that degree. Issues that once were not all that important, become incredibly popular, the harder you push against them.
One could say that if government made the act of playing with poisonous snakes illegal and prosecuted violators, the very act of playing with the snake would become popular as a result.
This is what is happening, and why Republicans are now becoming a endangered species.
The speed at which things happen today has made a series of political blunders a cancer that is now raging through our party. It will kill us.
That is all I am saying....but that is enough. The clarity will come to you one day, and I simply wanted you to remember that someone told you why before the answer becomes a known quantity that has been written about extensively in the political annal of history. I am not exposing myself, I am exposing a fatal error. I am voicing a long considered political opinion. Apparently you find it threatening.
It is unfortunately far too late to fix it, but knowing where the error was made, could help in the future. But it certainly does not help to accelerate and magnify the error, and continue to employ it.
The fact is, that it is still happening, and it likely will not stop until the destruction is complete. This really makes me livid to see this continue, but carry on! Enjoy! The fruits of your labors will be yours to enjoy in the new irrelevancy that is coming like a freight train.
