We are witnessing the death throes of dying ideology. It turns out that opposing democracy, embracing Christofascism, racism, misogyny, transphobia, anti-intellectualism, boorishness, cruelty, conspiracy, crime, endless grievances, and lies, while forcing women to give birth against their will isn’t a winning strategy.
Maybe they should have tried adopting popular evidence-based platforms instead.
Oh well, see you in the dust bin of history. May they be replaced with an actual conservative party.
It’s why they are going install a christofascist dictatorship. We all saw they lost but we have a christo fascist as speaker who is second in line for president and Trump is leading Biden in swing states.
The fight isn’t over they will not go quietly. We are about to watch the overthrow of our government. If we all think they going just lose then beat again.
Act like Trump is actually leading Biden (he’s not. The only people who answer rando numbers that call out of the blue are 55 and up.), and go vote. Get everyone you know to also vote. Make a day of it. Blow off work if you have to and vote out every republican on that ballot.
May they be replaced with an actual conservative party.
May they absolutely do no such thing. Actual conservatives just want things to stay the same forever, that’s the original definition, to conserve the institutions and society of the present.
I’m not a conservative, but I think it’s important to have people advocating for continuity with the past. Sometimes change is good, sometimes it isn’t. People who think it isn’t should have a political party that represents them. An actual conservative party, for example, would be defending democracy and not trying to usurp it.
Yeah you need people who are able to identify what from the past we should keep and what we should yeet. That is what a conservative should be. But aren’t.
That’s where The Federalist society went wrong. They think if they can take over, the conservatives will suddenly learn to think critically and be able to run a functioning society. The speaker debacle should be warning to them
I hope you’re right, but looking at the attitudes of my conservative, evangelical friends, it seems more likely they’ll just radicalize and try to incite violence and civil war as a kind of Christian Taliban

They even captured the Supreme Court.

Polls haven’t been remotely accurate in 5 years.
Polls also don’t account for gerrymandering or voter suppression nearly as much as they need to
Man, Watchmen on HBO was so prescient when it came out.

They don’t seem to realize that they no longer have control. They can’t shape the party to do what they want it to do. Not anymore.
