Max Boot, a conservative columnist for The Washington Post, in his latest op-ed Monday warned of what he fears will be President Donald Trump’s legacy for the GOP.
Boot wrote of his hope that Trump’s “outrageous” bid to overturn the 2020 election would be “the last gasp of a pathetic presidency in its dying days” but also of his worry “it might represent only a middle chapter in the Republican Party’s transformation” into an authoritarian party.
Boot, a vocal critic of Trump, noted how even before Trump’s arrival on the political stage, “Republicans had shown their willingness to use any means necessary to exercise power” — citing the 2000 election as just one example.
But Trump had “turbocharged the Republican revolt against democracy” and “produced a party platform whose only tenet is fealty to the supreme leader and his nebulous agenda.”
The GOP has in recent years become the party of conspiracy theorists and right-wing extremists, said Boot, noting how instead of trying to appeal to moderate voters, Republicans had now just turned to suppressing them.
And if Trump does run in 2024, Boot cautioned, then prominent Republicans “will do nothing to check his authoritarian impulses.” “Much of the GOP has already decided that achieving its policy preferences is more important than preserving America’s democracy,” he added.

Headroom was already taken.
Hopefully this is the last chapter of the GOP. If there is a MAGA Party, I’m gone.
That bunch never turned against their own beliefs. Not a one of them were conservative in the first place.
Anyone who wastes their time reading Max Boot, is a fricking idiot!
When it is proven that the crimes were committed in the election, Max can say, “Sorry” and all is well with this P.O.S.
Conservative, please!!!!!!!!! I think not!!!
More truth from the media! /s
The Democrats have cheated: Long live the Democrats?
It’s like the old talking head shows. A balanced panel consisted of 2 to 3 progressives, a progressive claiming to be a moderate, and a moderate claiming to be a conservative.
Max Boot, a conservative columnist....

And the Left accuses Trump of being a liar?
As late as 2019 Michael Medved claimed to be an Eisenhower Republican. But this year, he even endorsed Jay Inslee, the far, far leftist governor of Washington.
Max Boot is a raisin-sacked Jennifer Rubin ‘conservative’.
If all Trump manages to do is to get momentum to FIX our election system so that the Dem's can't do this to us again... He'd need a Congressional Medal of Freedom, a Noble Peace Prize, and possible Sainthood for doing that one thing.
Because without it... There is fraud without end and the final Death of the Republic.
Max Boot and Huffpo. Give me one of those four writer jobs from the Asspress.
Worse than a RINO.
Their kung fu is so weak they have to lie to their own.
Or they’re so stupid they think we believe their David Gergen fakes.
HuffPoo
Nuff said
A conservative working for the Washington Post would be like a Unicorn plowing a field...both are not real...😀
Agreed. Seeing him referred to as a conservative just makes me ill. He’s nothing but a DC RINO suck up.
They are all part of the “infiltrators”, trying to move the ‘center’ further left to assist the commi takeover.
