The GOP can’t be saved. Center-right voters need to become Biden Republicans.
The Washington Post ^ | April 7, 2021 | Max Boot

Posted on 04/08/2021 10:07:17 AM PDT by Trump20162020

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), one of only 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach then-President Donald Trump this year, recently told the Atlantic why he remains committed to the party: “I’m a Republican because I’ve been a Republican far longer than Donald Trump has. He’s a Republican usurper.… I’m not going to let him take the party. So I will fight. I will fight like hell.”

It is a decision I have not for a moment regretted, because the GOP has become even more of a horror show than I anticipated. As former House speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) notes in a new memoir, the “crazies” have taken over. There are vanishingly few John McCain-style Republicans left; Kinzinger (a lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard) is one of the few. The party’s center of gravity has shifted to kooks such as Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (who blamed Jewish space lasers for wildfires) and low-rent hucksters such as Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz (who reportedly shared nude photos of his sexual conquests with his colleagues and is under investigation for possible sex trafficking).

Max Boot, Jennifer Rubin - these are the loons that the Washington Post uses to represent “conservatives”. They are the type of self-proclaimed “conservatives” who hate Trump, hate people who vote for Trump, and love Biden - a senile tool of the most radical elements of the Democrat Party.

Typical Washington-marinated RINO, more interested in fighting the President, who is a member of his own party, rather than working with him to fight the Dems.

Fooey to Kinzinger and his ilk. No one with a functioning brain has anything in common with him or Biden.

“Most Republicans don’t care that Trump locked up children, cozied up to white supremacists, tear-gassed peaceful protesters, benefited from Russian help in both of his campaigns, egregiously mishandled the pandemic, incited a violent attack on the Capitol and even faced fraud complaints from his own donors.”

Goebbels himself would be envious of a spew of lies like that.

Biden and his voters are Neofascists.

No GOP is going to vote for that.

Meaning that the plaid-pants country club RINOs have lost the fight to keep middle-class Americans from helping Trump take control of the party.

Call for a waaaaambulance!

I ask again . . . do these Leftists actually believe this stuff, or are they just pushing it all for a paycheck?

My take is that the delusional True Believers are few and far between, while the Grifters, Posers, Power Grabbers, and Money Grubbing Whoooores are plentiful.

Have you seen Max Boot? He is a thoroughly unimpressive looking person, a neocon warhawk who never served in any military, grew up in Russia, is one of the leaders of the miniscule anti-Trump movement. The Democrats can have him, don’t come back!

We need a new name

They are not fascists though I know it feels good to call them that

Fascism is strongly nationalist

If we’d all register as Democrats, we could wreck the party and vote the way we want to in the end. Otherwise, we’re gonna be suckin’ air for a long time.
