I don’t think the party is over.
Let’s see how big a cut the next budget has, if any.

Government Employees are above such trivial machinations............
I must say, in my head when I read that headline, I heard the voice of “Dandy” Don Meredith!
Reagan's 1984 election outcome belies this contention as supposedly universal.
This is a really good article. This line is something that many still don’t understand:
“The party now in control of the US executive branch is a third party built out of the corpses of two existing parties. It goes by the name Republican but this is nearly a historical accident. The GOP was a vessel that was least protected against invasion and occupation. It has now been nearly taken over by outsiders who had little or no influence within the party a decade ago.”
Good read.
I have said that the election of the 2024 was between the democrat party of 2008 and the democrat party of 2024. But this article does a better job of telling the tale.
Something very different happened that may well give new life to republic. A self renewal.
Maybe that’s what the founders were thinking of when the framed the constitution. How do you make a government and people self renewing. (as opposed to the usual fate of regimes which is decline and decay until they are wiped out by neighboring countries.)
Yeah, I’m definitely getting the feeling that the Deep State is far from finished. Democrat and RINO forces in all branches are not going to give up without a fight. Will the courts eventually do the right thing and support the chief executive’s constitutional powers? Will Congress follow the will of voters and pass transformative cuts in government spending. Seems doubtful but we can hope.

Worth emphasizing and commenting on.
I was one of those going to county GOP events 10-20 years ago. The country-clubbers ran things, were not really interested in growing the party and listening to the Ron Paul Libertarians who were showing up at GOP meetings ~20 years ago, nor were they amenable to accommodating the TEA Party types who were there 15 years ago.
At some level, those groups are a large part of the basis for the populist MAGA Patriot Republicans we have today. We have largely taken over the counties here in GA. The next election cycle will be quite interesting. They have the money, we have the numbers, so far. How that plays out in the primaries in 2026 is anybodies guess at this point.
You and I are on the same page. See my prior post which I made before seeing your comment.
I will ONLY accept thibfs as changing when I see indictments, trials and imprisonment (executions for treason).

Hegseth’s DoD told everyone not to answer the email. Kash’s FBI did the same thing
If not, that is why we have the 2nd amendment if we the people have the nerve.
I think Bessent and Rubio, too.
Yeah. I think that was a huge mistake. We very much want to get rid of anything that smells like a two-tier justice system. If the employees at Dept of Energy and Dept of Education have to justify themselves, then so should Defense, FBI, State and Treasury and others.
I was VERY disappointed to see that Hegseth and others were openly defying President Trump. Not a good look.
That difference (between RINOs and conservatives) was on full display 60 years ago when Reagan ran for the GOP nomination for Governor of California. Hence, that realignment the author cites was only of a sufficient margin to carry conservatism over the electoral top. Effectively, RFKJR, Gabbard, and Musk were persuaded, while much remains to rid each of them of a few bad policy predispositions. Trump's personal foible there is the his belief in the exercise of power as a matter of precedent when so much of the electorate is so deeply conditioned in socialism. The EOs he wrote in his first term were easily undone with Biden's signature.
Hopefully, the SCOTUS will help us there by identifying regulatory overreach as violations of the Separation of Powers principle.
Very good article. Thanks for posting. The globalist UNIPARTY is not over. When their collectives are shut down and their funds cut off, a beginning to their end will have occurred.
Also disappointed. They’ve had an amazing unified front for all these weeks, and this is going to weaken everything.
