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.

MAX needs my steel toed size 9R BOOT up his ass.
I can’t tell from that picture, are his eyes brown?
If not, he’s about 2 quarts low.
Although you would think so from his great knowledge of military matters and last name of “Boot”, Herr Boot, never served in the military. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Boot. “Boot attended the University of California, Berkeley where he graduated with high honors with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history in 1991 and Yale University with an (MA in Diplomatic History in 1992).[2] He began his career in journalism writing columns for the Berkeley student newspaper The Daily Californian.” It was a BIG stretch for him to be a never Trumper.
Sorry Max Boot, you and the other DC never trumpers don't represent enough Republicans to elect a dog catcher in DC.
Join the democrat party Max.. just do it.
VOTER FRAUD UNDERMINES AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
That type of republican doesn’t care what a person says when they’re running for office - but when that person gets to Washington they expect him to ‘pivot’ to the crooks in the deep state and forget about their promises to ‘the people.
That’s why they hate Trump...
Trump got to Washington and kept the promises he had made to the people who voter for him rather than spreading the wealth of American taxpayers to the thugs who run DC...
Yah conservative my ahz.
He can come to da woodz, we give him da boot.
Remember when they tried to promote that f** Bill Maher as a conservative?
Trump’s legacy for the GOP will indeed be chilling. The thought gives me chills of delight.
“Das Boot”
Max Boots republican party is dead.
He wears the jersey so the Post can pretend they have one.
