Likely true, although it is hard to imagine receiving more intense hate than we get from the Democrats, the party of peace and love and butterflies and rainbows and unicorns.
In the history of Christianity I think you will often find greater hostility directed against heretics (who had the "wrong" version of Christianity) than against infidels (who did not profess to be Christian at all). Same principle.
Jack Posobiec on Twit says Mitch now using impeachment to blackmail Trump over pardons for Assange, Snowden & Ulbricht.
GOP in meltdown.
RE: I think perhaps it’s the other way around. I see two possible alternative scenarios:
Either way, the impeachment was pointless political posturing. If the intent was to remove the President from office, then it achieved nothing.
If the intent was to SHAME the President, then it simply backfires. Most people who see (other than the TDS Democrats) this know that it is a unprincipled sham and it is the Democrats and Pelosi who ended up looking like the lawless, vindictive, totalitarian asses they are, and it will go down in history as such.
“Rinos” typically survive in politics because the voters see them as better than the Dem alternative.
For McConnell, Graham, Romney, and the congressmen who voted to impeach, I don’t think that holds true anymore. Not that the rank and file will vote Dem, but they simply won’t show up on election day. Why vote for Graham? Why vote for McConnell? Why vote for any of these dirtbags?
Fake news. Didn’t happen.
RE: Mitch now using impeachment to blackmail Trump over pardons for Assange, Snowden & Ulbricht.
OK, Trump Pardons then before 12 Noon January 20, what’s Mitch gonna do? You can’t remove a private citizen from an office he no longer holds.
This didn’t age well. The author should have known better. I did. The minute these stories surfaced, I thought “this does not sound like something McConnell would say or do. Where did they get this?”
And sure enough, it was the damned New York Times with another one of its patented “no sources, no quotes” Narrative Eruptions. How many times are we supposed to fall for this before we ‘get it’ that the NYT makes up total crap and “reports” it as a news story?
Chuckles will be in control of the senate. Libs just make up their own laws as they go and nobody stops them. There will be all sorts of weirdness.
LOL! Thanks for that!
Have you seen this video at the following link: What’s the floor plan? — New ‘suspicious video’ emerges from Capitol siege…
These are people wearing tear gas masks, which is not standard issue at a Trump rally. Also the bullhorn, which a woman uses through the broken window to instruct the intruders on how to "take this building."
There is a second video further down of the same "bullhorn" woman in a pink hat using a battering ram to bash in that window.
These are not the Hagar crew.
Here is the FR discussion thread for the videos.

Spot on!
That's true and they made it irrefutably clear since President Trump took office.
Dershowitz says no
Correct. The establishment republicans want their party back so they can continue appeasing the dems and getting filthy rich.
btw, this morning Dershowitz said the dems violated the constitution six times during the impeachment trial.
Hating an enemy force is one thing. Hating someone who you are forced to grovel to, lie to, and beg from all the while thinking they are useless morons unworthy of you creates a whole next level of hate.
Yes.
And they hate America as much as the Democrats do.
But it doesn't matter, because the GOP is dead.
Or maybe the intent was to simply let the Republican Party destroy itself.
Nancy Pelosi just rolled a bunch of hand grenades into the GOP, knowing full well that a bunch of morons like Lizard Cheney and that Kinzinger dope would fall all over themselves to pull the pins out.
Yep. Remember that when they come begging for votes and money.

“to purge the party of the new populist right appears to have unraveled.”
There is not a NEW populist right in the party. 75% of Republicans have wanted secure borders, fixing our insane China policy, and been opposed to global control of the US for decades.
What is new is that Trump is the first Republican leader who actually agreed with 75% of Republicans and did something about it. The rest of them have been running a Lucy, Charlie Brown and the football scam on R voters for decades.
Romney, Graham, Cheney et al. just want to go back to the good old days when they could say one thing when running for office and then laugh at their supporters when they got to Washington and did the exact opposite, over and over.
Hence, the purge.
Trump’s new party won’t be a third party, it will be a 2nd, MAGA vs. UniParty.
