Yes, because we all know how effective GOP “fretting behind the scenes” has historically been in stopping Trump politico.com/news/2021/05/2…
Answers to the two hypothetical questions “What’s going to stop Trump from running again?” and “What’s going to stop the GOP from voting for him again?” have been far from comforting
We also know that it doesn’t matter how badly Trump loses an election; he and his followers will nevertheless spend months insisting he was cheated out of victory by the Democrats and the Deep State and the Lamestream Media and BLM and Antifa and possibly China
I guess what I’m saying is, the path from “nomination” to “the next 1/6” is an unsettlingly straight line, and that’s not even considering the potential for another four-year detour

MTG’s comparison of vaccination passports to yellow stars is absurd hyperbole, but not an example of anti-Semitism

“Some Democrats”? Jesus. One. There is literally ONE Democrat quoted multiple times in this article. His name is Larry Summers.

The headline should read “Larry Summers is Deeply Concerned That Joe Biden Is Doing Too Much, Too Fast.”
AXIOS: An angry mob of Democrats has taken to the streets, furious that Biden is moving too quickly to address the pandemic & undo the damage wrought by the worst President in history

D: That sounds extremely counterintuitive

AXIOS: “It’s too much”, they cry. “Please, do less.”
AXIOS: Let’s speak with this angry mob of Democrats right now

LARRY SUMMERS: Hello

AXIOS: What is bothering you right now?

LS: We, the Democrats, are deeply concerned about future elections if Joe Biden tries to do too much

AXIOS: By which you mean?

LS: Anything at all

If your perspective is “The democratic vote doesn’t count unless we win”, then that equates to “I oppose democracy.”

This is where the Overton Window is heading for the Republican Party.
Remember the Chauvin verdict? Trump supporters insist that Chauvin was only convicted because the jury was terrified of “rioters & looters” destroying their city.

This is their same explanation for why more than 60 courts refused to consider Trump’s arguments for election fraud.
Conservative media painted an entirely false narrative of the BLM protests last year, as if it were a nonstop nightmare of rioting & looting. This is now conservatives’ default premise for how our laws are applied, particularly when the results do not go their way.

“Research” 🙄
Responses to the original post are not invited, by the way
The problem with these social media clickbait polls is that “Everyone has an opinion” does not always translate to “Other people care about your opinion”.

Also, “tryna” is cringeworthy exactly 100% of the time.

We’ve been over this. The people who comprise the Republican base are not exactly strong candidates for MENSA.
Once a talking point takes hold, no explanation is sufficient to un-clench it from the lexicon of Things the GOP Will Always Believe.

“If you’re explaining, you’re losing”, paved the way for a Party whose entire notion of virtue could be broken down into “winning” vs. “losing”.
The takeaway is that there is no real downside to the GOP strategy of ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK, because neither they nor their base are constrained by honesty or critical thinking.

Trump is gone (for) now, but there is no effort whatsoever from his Party to evolve beyond him.

“DEBATE ME, YOU COWARD!” is always the sign of a serious thinker
Same As It Ever Was: ⬇️
As always, only reason the dogmatists want public “debate” is to lend unearned legitimacy to their views by rattling their opponents in public.

MTG is less a public servant than a 24/7 shitposter, so any publicity she gets is a net gain for her.
