It’s only new in the severity. But it’s the same thing. Lots of people have been pissed before. It fades. Every time. So much so it’s a meme of it’s own.
Today the circumstances are different. Extreme even. But human nature led 70 million sheep to seek salvation in the hardest left man the GOP ever produced.
And to this day many defend that decision. Even in the knowledge the man is in direct baby part business such as Stericycle.
The right is in a 2 front war. Against the Dems and more importantly the enemy within. And that enemy within is the majority of the right.
I won’t disagree with anything you said. You may be right, or I may be right. Time will tell. The only quibble I would make is about “the enemy within”. The GOPe has never been the enemy within. They have always been the primary enemy of the principles that this country was founded upon. While their rhetoric and positioning may seem otherwise, they have a much greater stake in defeating conservatism, than the left does. One of the biggest mistakes that conservatives make is in believing that they were unwilling allies, when, in fact, they were the ones whose defeat is a prerequisite for any attempt to move this country even one inch to the right.
