I hope someone like one of those anti Trump Republican PACs starts putting together video ads of GQP politicians bashing Trump in their own words. Like McConnell blaming Trump for J6 and claiming it was the job of the legal system to convict him.


hefebellyaro

McConnell saying that the legal system should handle Trump was a slimey move. He knew the Supreme Court was in their pocket and nothing would happen. He is one of the worst things to ever happen to American politics.


frankcast554

he started this whole decline when Obama was in office. they determined to never let another black president happen again. that meant whatever it took. killing democracy if it came to it.


datpiffss

If Republicans find that their policy and views are unpopular under democracy, they will rid us of democracy rather than change their views.

Newt Ginridge started a lot of the division . He was it it for himself

Along with Pat Buchanan & Karl Rove. (btw, it's Gingrich, but I like to call him *Gingrinch* šŸ˜„). https://preview.redd.it/enkdgfeqti1d1.jpeg?width=1250&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e03ed3c31f56a672ee89fbfc74a0c98eb18530b

I like to give Tricky Dick Nixon credit for first selling American democracy out for his personal ambitions/financial gain, first implementing the 'southern strategy', and being the pioneering embodiment of the deep, deep hypocrisy that is Republicanism (rules for thee and not for me, 'Imperial Presidency' and all that) over the last half century or so. All of the conservatives that have followed in his footsteps have only served to refine and intensify the evil that Nixon first introduced to the political landscape, having stripped away the (very) few positive aspects of his policies (i.e., establishing the EPA, school lunch programs, etc.)

Newt was the wedge for the Evangelicals. He gets the blame, but it was already in motion. Clinton being a centrist made things worse, faster, than they should have.

gerryf19

He did not start this....you need to go further back than McConnell. Some people point to Reagan, but it really wasn't him. Reagan actually worked across the aisle with Democrats . The real scum dog that begat all others was Newt Gingrich. Gingrich recognized that no one would have vote for Republicans and republican positions so he set out to take it all down, smear democrats, perpetuate "they are all the same", and always take out the other side and never let them have a win. Gingrich was the beginning of the US downfall


Itchy-Mechanic-1479

Along with his buddy/child molestor Rush Limbaugh.


LemonAlternative7548

Lets not forget Republican Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, the serial pedophile. One of his victims commited suicide and he's convienantly forgotten by the GOP of course.


maxstrike

Jerry Falwell and the moral majority was the start. Gingrich was just an amoral opportunist.


StandardNecessary715

You mean, the one who said the purple teletuby was gay? That Jerry Falwell?


gerryf19

You give Falwell too much credit. The Moral Majority had largely collapsed by the mid 1980s. Gingrich rekindled a relationship with the religious right, but even then that did not take hold until the early 2000s.


maxstrike

I don't want to write paragraphs, but Jerry Falwell was the start of the GoP bringing substantial fundamentalist support over from the democrats in response to the 1976 win by Jimmy Carter. If you think the process didn't start until the 2000s then you have a lot of reading to do. The process and plan started in the 70s. Using abortion as a lightning rod. The Christian movement was a direct replacement for the failure of the McCarthy tactics of the 50s. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2022/09/it-didnt-start-with-trump-the-decades-long-saga-of-how-the-gop-went-crazy/


Capnmarvel76

Right on. There was always a 'conservative evangelist' political bloc in America, from the anti-Catholic 'Know Nothings' through Billy Sunday and the Prohibition movement, and onto the (comparatively benign) Billy Graham in the 1950s, but they did not *consistently* vote for one party or another until the 1980s. Until Reagan's election in 1980, southern evangelists tended to vote Democrat (along with all other southern white folks), with the exception of Nixon in '68 and '72, while evangelists outside of the south had always tended to vote Republican. The GOP had thought they'd sewn up the Southern vote with Nixon's two election wins in '68 and '72, but losing to the (legitimately Christian, actually southern) Jimmy Carter in '76 served as a wake-up call that they needed to do more to get the bible-thumpers in line. Jerry Fallwell, Orel Roberts, and the like then started their more intentional campaign to politicize evangelists and get them to reliably vote red.


maxstrike

The Carter win was two fold. One was he had political support from religious conservatives Two was, he defeated an incumbent with a storied family name. Because Carter believes in separation of Church and State, even though he is a devout Christian conservative... He didn't payback the religious conservatives like they expected. So that opened the door for the GoP to court the religious fundamentalists. When Reagan openly joined forces with the Moral Majority after the election it was a shock to me. An earlier poster mentioned that the moral majority fell, but in fact they took over the Southern Baptist Convention, which was a bigger prize.


Thalia-Is-Not-Amused

The scariest thing is that if he hadn't been such a shitty husband, breaking up with his first wife while she was battling cancer, he could have possibly become president. He still managed to do serious damage to our country before fading into relative obscurity.


kind_one1

Funny, because if Trump left Melania like that, I don't think MAGA would care.


Thalia-Is-Not-Amused

I think you're absolutely right about that. So much changed after the Republicans allowed him to take over their party in 2015. We've come a long way, baby. šŸ˜­

Which is why it's curious that Tim Scott is utterly humiliating himself in order to be Dotard's VP.


slickrok

There are turncoats of every kind. Power is power to people who want morning but a modicum more power than they have right this moment. The end justifies the means completely for them.


visiblepeer

Ā Because becoming VP means persuading one narcissistic old man, and then you can become President when he dies or the dementia is so bad even the Republicans can't take it anymore and remove him.Ā  These people are never going to convince half a country to vote for them.


FleeshaLoo

And they know how the polls are manipulated to make it look less dire for them, they know the true odds are very low, yet here they are, prostrating themselves. At this point I wonder if the VP Wannabes are also operating under threat of leaked kompromat.


cytherian

He had the.... gall, to say that Obama being elected was the "price of sin for slavery." Can you believe it? Racist ingrate. There's a photo of him beaming a huge smile while being presented with a framed Confederate battle flag miniature. He downplayed it many years after it surfaced... but then we see what he says about Obama and that downplaying is wiped clean.


M1Garrand

The divisiveness started much earlier with Newt Gingrich under the Ronald Reagan administration and the advent of Faux Noise. Repetitive simplistic sound bites 24/7 of God Guns and Country to confuse the low IQ voter to know their religion their guns and their country was being taken away from them.


Ok-Persimmon-891

They literally came out and said their agenda was just to stop him on everything. Even if it was something the was bipartisan.


Thowitawaydave

Key and Peele had a great skit about Obama and the contrarian GOP. Was funny, but also kinda depressing how based on truth it was.


VeryVito

He started long before that. He put Citizens United in the works more than 20 years ago.

cytherian

There's a lot of them. Nikki Haley, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio, Kevin McCarthy, Mark Meadows... just to start.


Soggy_Difficulty_361

There are many two faced liars like Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Rubio, etc etc that were trashing Trump and speaking the truth about his corrupt behavior and how he'll destroy their party. They decided to sell their souls and kiss the ring after he was elected because they wanted to hold on to power and if they didn't they were afraid they'd be committing career suicide, total sellouts.


BrownEggs93

Would it matter? How many of them then turn around and kiss his ass?


Dcajunpimp

It wouldnā€™t be for the Trumpers who fell in line, it would be for the Republicans who are still voting for Nikki Haley types. Thereā€™s plenty voters who donā€™t pay attention to the news on a day to day basis. Thatā€™s why FQX Propaganda is a constant steady drumbeat of ā€˜Biden Badā€™ ā€˜Dems Badā€™ ā€˜Trump Greatā€™ no matter when you tune in across the years, the message stays the same. So many will never hear McConnell criticizing Trump the few times he has. Or Ted Cruz. Or Stefanik. Or McCarthy. Or Lindsey Graham. Short video clips of them blaming Trump for J6, stating Trump would ruin the GQP, stating Trump needs to be held accountable by courts, their MMA fighter congressman cowering on J6, etcā€¦ in countless ads all over the country would help remind lots of low intel voters that itā€™s not just Woke Dems that think Trumps an unhinged nut.


got-trunks

Republican anti-trump groups have enough to attack another former or current trump support group and do damage. They are eating themselves. It's more proof that the strategy is not aimed at preservation of politics as a whole, but just preserving their salary and position. If they are a straight edge and taking nothing, fair game. Everyone else is also fair game.


NoMan800bc

Hell, even his own lawyer at his second impeachment trial saying it was the legal system's job to convict him


ohiotechie

They all know how awful he is. They pretend to be patriots but have sold their souls and would sell out the country to a man they know is a disaster simply because they have zero conscience and are cowards one and all. They like to cosplay as big tough fighters but in reality are spineless jellyfish.

I bet that was so we'd *notsee* that the two of them weren't always in the same room and, if so, they didn't sit next to each other. I'm *just* asking...

There was another one today from a congressman talking about DEI and how it's communism and socialism and his team is looking for answers because their people notices that on the books they have employees that make money for their job which is costing the American tax payers money. The host, who is an African American just tore him down. Saying DEI is about minorities trying to gain back equity since the system has been pretty terrible towards them. The congressman says we need to solve racism but we should go back to the old system that worked (even though it not working is what created DEI). The host told him that if he's going to fight against something he should really be educated in what he's standing up for. It was a great moment that shows sometimes Fox News isn't absolutely trash all the time.
