Welcome to the Ideological Collapse of the GOP
emeralddb3.substack ^ | 12/08/22 | Emerald Robinson

Posted on 12/08/2022 8:56:07 AM PST by chief lee runamok

Many of my conservative friends — quite a few of them GOP donors and campaign strategists and media people I must admit — greeted the news of Herschel Walker’s defeat in the Georgia Senate with a shrug.

What difference did it make really? What difference could it make?

It was not indifference to Herschel Walker as a candidate, per se, so much as indifference to the GOP having a majority in the Senate.

The GOP is worthless.

I stopped donating and supporting years ago with McCain.

I do support the few conservative candidates.

It’s one thing to lose every meaningful battle, but to not even fight it. They are like beaten dogs.

“””Many of my conservative friends—”””


Emerald should slightly revise her opening to read:

“Many of my ‘supposedly’ conservative friends”

For the RINO’s the thought of losing a Senate majority to the Democrats is a small price to pay in order to bash Trump and stop the MAGA movement.

McConnell wears this one....big time. We need to rid ourselves of McConnell, Murakowski, Collins and Mitt Romney.
They gotta go.

Walkers defeat was a travesty. And it was broughtaboutby the slim sshady ground game in the cities, the gOP ground game in the city went unfunded, and McConnell knew this would happen.

Yep, the rot from the godless, greedy, back-stabbing elites that control the GOP needs to be destroyed in order for new healthy growth to take place. That’s why they are terrified of the MAGA movement.

The GOP is entirely Deep State controlled “opposition” to give the appearance of debate.

Warnock is a less-than-desirable candidate for the Senate. So was Walker. Desirability wouldn’t have made any difference: Warnock will always vote the way Chucky tells him to, and Walker would always have voted the way Turtle told him to.

People who refused to vote for Walker because he was somehow less than senatorial were just plain STUPID. The Democrat voters are willing to vote for a stroke-disabled idiot because he will do in the Senate what the Party wants; since in war the enemy sets the rules of engagement, we should vote likewise.

The gop whose prez locked us down, masked us, restricted travel… ensure a vax would save us all. Not to mention mail in ballots, drop boxes and a great bumpstock ban.
That GOP lost more freedoms in my lifetime than I can tolerate. Then to turn around and complain about stolen elections.. which they granted… in a game of 4d chess game tht ensured we will never get those freedoms back.

Let me add:

Back in 2012 a good friend who was a very astute political analyst told me the Tea Party Movement will soon be overtaken by the GOP machine.

Fast forward 10 years to 2022 and the GOP machine is just about finished with their takeover of the MAGA movement.

It was always necessary to destroy the GOP first as they functioned as a shield for the Marxist government oligarchy. The only way to get at that system was to first take out the weakest part of it.

America isn’t what we imagine it is…it isn’t what the legends, songs and trappings claim it is. It isn’t even what the Patriots would like it to be. It has been perverted beyond any recognition or chance of reform. It is now a government class oligarchy…one with deep Marxist/globalist connections.

If it can be the first step in getting rid of it is taking out the weak-link Republican Party, then that’s a step in the right direction,

It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the big club! ~ George Carlin

(Warning! Typical George Carlin language!) May 4, 2014

“But there’s a reason. There’s a reason. There’s a reason for this, there’s a reason education sucks, and it’s the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed. It’s never gonna get any better. Don’t look for it. Be happy with what you got.

Because the owners of this country don’t want that. I’m talking about the real owners now, the real owners, the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions.

Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t.

You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls.

They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying, lobbying, to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I’ll tell you what they don’t want:

They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them.

That’s against their interests. That’s right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table to figure out how badly they’re getting ***ked by a system that threw them overboard 30 ***king years ago.

They don’t want that. You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now they’re coming for your Social Security money.

They want your retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you, sooner or later, ‘cause they own this ***king place.

It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the big club. And by the way, it’s the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head in their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table is tilted folks.

The game is rigged, and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. Good honest hard-working people — white collar, blue collar, it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on — good honest hard-working people continue — these are people of modest means — continue to elect these rich ************s who don’t give a ***k about them. They don’t give a ***k about you.

They don’t give a ***k about you. They don’t care about you at all — at all — at all. And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. That’s what the owners count on; the fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that’s being jammed up their ********** everyday. Because the owners of this country know the truth: it’s called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it.”

Walker's win would not have given the GOP a majority in the Senate. It would have continued the current tie.

I know St. Trump can do no wrong, but his endorsements of Oz and Walker went a long way to losing us the Senate.

"the rot from the godless, greedy, back-stabbing elites that control the GOP needs to be destroyed in order for new healthy growth to take place"

Agreed. But the nihilism (life is without meaning) that sickens the souls of the godless has for many years now, been trickling downward into the general population. It takes many forms: rampant violent crime, suicide, existing for self only, hedonism, and escaping meaninglessness through consciousness altering drugs, alcohol, electronic trance festivals, and so on.

It’s worse than that, some are actively working for the other side.

Why the ding dong hell don’t Republicans actually adopt Republican party platform - like this one adopted by Teddy Roosevelt’s splinter Bull Moose Party in reaction to the RHINO-like corruption of the GOP in 1912?!


To that end, the platform called for:

Strict limits and disclosure requirements on political campaign contributions
Registration of lobbyists
Recording and publication of Congressional committee proceedings

In the social sphere, the platform called for:

A national health service to include all existing government medical agencies
Social insurance, to provide for the elderly, the unemployed, and the disabled
Limiting the ability of judges to order injunctions to limit labor strikes
A minimum wage law for women
An eight-hour workday
A federal securities commission
Farm relief
Workers’ compensation for work-related injuries
An inheritance tax

The political reforms proposed included:

Women’s suffrage
Direct election of senators
Primary elections for state and federal nominations
Easier amending of the United States Constitution[23][24][25]

The platform also urged states to adopt measures for “direct democracy”, including:

The recall election (citizens may remove an elected official before the end of his term)
The referendum (citizens may decide on a law by popular vote)
The initiative (citizens may propose a law by petition and enact it by popular vote)
Judicial recall (when a court declares a law unconstitutional, the citizens may override that ruling by popular vote)[26]

You are among many who have suffered from being battered by the GOP machine.
