All purpose news and politics thread part VI: This Is Not The Time For Posing

[Gray Lensman]

Good thing you posted that request in a long, miserable political thread. That's the easiest way to get our attention.

Whatever word that is it was likely added to the censor because it was a part of some spam. If you can let me know what it is I can see about fixing it.

EDIT: It's okay, figured it out. Fixed.

Thanks for posting that part. I'm not aware of the actual nuts and bolts behind these things and that actually helps, or at least it keeps me from thinking someone in IT has lost their mind.

See, it's funny because "c i a l i s" is an erection medication.

I knew it was something like that but it's still hilarious.

The die is cast for the Republican Party. It will be destroyed on January 6th in much the same way the Whig party was destroyed by the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854. The act unraveled the Missouri compromise and allowed for the westward expansion of slavery. 1/

The party could not survive its factionalism. There could be no more accommodation, compromise and partnership between pro-slavery and anti-slavery Whigs. A new political party was born, the Republican Party. That party will divide into irreconcilable factions on January 6th. 2/

The 6th will commence a political civil war inside the GOP. The autocratic side will roll over the pro-democracy remnant of the GOP like the Wehrmacht did the Belgian Army in 1940. The ‘22 GOP primary season will be a blood letting. The 6th will be a loyalty test. The purge 3/

will follow. Does anybody doubt the outcome of the @IvankaTrump vs. @marcorubio
primary in Florida? Anyone willing to make a bet on @robportman? It turns out JFK was right. The problem of trying to ride the tiger is the likelihood of winding up inside the tiger. The poisonous 4/

Fruit from four years of collaboration and complicity with Trumps insanity, illiberalism and incompetence are ready for harvest. It will kill the GOP because it’s Pro Democracy faction and Autocratic factions can no more exist together then could the Whig Party hold together 5/

The abolitionist with the Slave master. It won’t happen over night but the destination is clear. The Conservative party in America is dead. It may continue to bear the name “Republican” but it will be no such thing. Fascism has indeed come to America and as was once predicted 6

I was trying to resurrect a really old thread, but I could not get it up.

Republicans had a perfect opportunity back last January to kick Trump to the curb but chose not to, either because they liked the crazy or feared losing the support of his base. For the umpteenth time, the GOP created this monster and, just like Frankenstein, it’s going to destroy them. And I don’t have so much as an iota of sympathy for those bastards.

If the Republican Party does go down that Authoritarian/Fascist/Power-above-all-else rabbit hole, the Democratic Party is going to be affected as well. It already has started happening.

I see the Democratic Party as always being Left/Liberal, however the divides will become more pronounced. You will have the Conservative Democrats, the Moderate/Centrists Democrats, and the Progressive Democrats.

Watching MSNBC and a comment was made that it is not healthy for a Democracy to have only One Political party. I agree. If the Republican Party crashes and burns, something is gonna happen to balance things out.

The Republican Party is not crashing and burning. When it's over on January 20th and they get back to trying to wreck the country, every Republican will vote together. Romney and Murkawski will vote the same as Johnson and Hawley.

I think there is a chance that, in 2 years, we will see failed primary candidates run as independents on a local and state level. Both failed Trumpers, and more sane Republicans who lost to a Trumper/QAnon type.

Something is happening, and it's too soon to tell for sure what it is. There is change coming, of some kind.

Republicans fall in line. Ask Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz. Tax cuts for the rich and screwing the poor are just too much of a priority for them to do anything else.
Romney has shown some integrity, but remember this was the man who said 47% of the country were "takers" who did not contribute anything.
