Trump is the GOP and the GOP is Trump. The GOP has no platform,
no philosophy and no ethics. Fealty to Trump is the only virtue.
Trump could stick straws up his nose and blow bubbles, and the
"conservatives" in this forum would still be fighting one another

He gazed up at the enormous face. Four years it had taken him to learn
what kind of smile was hidden beneath the orange hue. O cruel, needless
misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast!
Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was
all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had
won the victory over himself. He loved Big Orange.

Trump could take a machete to kittens and puppies until he was

I don't know why they like him so much. They've been losing governors, statehouses and
have lost almost every special election over the past year. Trump cost them House and
Senate seats in 2016, House control in 2018, Senate control in 2020, their expected Red
Wave and another Senate seat in 2022, and their new razor thin majority in the House can't
get any work done for infighting. State Parties are going bankrupt, donors are closing
checkbooks and judges from state to federal all across the country are giving Magoos the
finger.

Good luck to the RNC because they're going to need it.

That's what they were all saying about Trump enablers and apologists in 2015.
Now whose party is it?

Tillis, Cornyn, Young, Haley and Pence will all be pledging fealty to Putin when
Trump orders them to do so.

I've often disagreed with his politics but always respected him for his consistent views.
After working against Trump in 2016, he changed his mind and got on the Trump wagon.

Ok, he's entitled to change his mind. But since then he's gone back and forth to the
point where there's no trusting him and my respect has evaporated.

Having failed to get the party back on track, mainstream Republicans are leaving in
droves. Romney's departure was the signal that it's all over.

Will the Party reconstruct around MAGA and make the Nazis, KKKers and Christian
Nationalist proud or will it simply fade into the history of America?

This reminds me of the once powerful
Whig Party, which broke up into competing
factions and fell back together as the
abolitionist Republican party.

Conservatism once had ideals, some
pretty good, now it has become a Trump
personality cult and may never recover
im a post-Trump world.

"Conservative" is becoming a dirty word. Certainly the MAGAs and radical extremists on
the right have contaminated it.

This means the Dems will end up in control of the government in the long run.

First define the word "conservative" that you consider "dirty" (which
also needs a proper definition).

Oxford has this for a start

How do -you- rate (define?) the words "capitalist" and "socialist" ...
and of course "liberal" ... where is that Center you claim to be just
"left" of ... maybe add "left and right" to the list.

Sensible conservatism
1) proceeding steadily but with caution

"Dirty" conservatism
2) always looking back, never forward

"Filthy" conservatism
3) Supporting Donald Trump
