One commenter today made a reference to the GOPe & the base playing a game of chicken; wondering which side would blink first.
oscarwilde pointed out to the commenter; the base isn’t “playing chicken”
Spot on, oscar.
People like the commenter are, for lack of a more accurate term, clueless.
Whether this one was another GOPe shill is besides the point.
The simple fact of the matter is the conservatives are engaged in a Revolutionary endeavor:
Our goal is to destroy from the topmost branch to the most deeply buried roots in local politics the obscenity we refer to as the GOPe.
The GOPe is completely amoral and completely corrupt. This has been proven ceaselessly by their own actions from November of 2014 to the present day.
A brief litany of their crimes for those who may profess their ignorance:
Support $ 55 trillion in NEW bailouts of TBTF banks
Obama’s executive amnesty “failure theater”
CRomnibus
Obamacare defunding “failure theater”
Trans Pacific Partnership passage
Planned Parenthood defunding “failure theater”
In 2006, with control of JUST the House and the Senate, the Democrats began their “fundamental transformation of America”.
“Dubya” behaved exactly as Boehner, McConnel et al have ever since. He surrendered budget control and any respect for the Constitution and free markets, much less conservative values.
When Obamacare was passed by deceit in the dark of night … the GOPe and the GOPe-media sighed heavily and proceeded to complain “we don’t have the votes”.
When the TEA Party movement delivered control of the House back into Republican hands in January 2011, one of the most “insider influence peddling” members was elected Speaker of the House and reached the zennith of his success … when Obama’s idiots pushed for “sequestration” and Boehner & Co foolishly believed it would not pass due to heavy defense cuts being the stick Republicans would face when the inevitable inability to agree occurred by the special committee.
SURPRISE!
Many conservatives by that time knew the defense cuts were a necessary sacrifice to forestall the Elites willingness to reduce the entire country to abject poverty by endless “bread & circuses” spending.
Boehner, along with Obama, had learned conservatives were willing “to shoot the hostage”.
In the last four years, despite significant electoral successes, the GOPe has increasingly made itself the willing wh0re of the GOPe Donor Class and has relentlessy attempted to deliver their prime objective:
Amnesty and a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens.
Even though the bulk of American citizens, across party and demographic lines, are steadfastly opposed to the surrender of this country’s sovereignty.
Trump is ascendant, regardless of his “purity” or temperment, because he has made a vow to stop the inflow of illegal aliens and remove those undeserving of being in this country.
The base has been described as “angry” – hardly a sufficient term. The base is enraged by the corruption of the Elites and incendiary over the intentional destruction of their standard of living since January 2009.
We, the people, are going to destroy every root and branch of the GOPe.
The cowards, and traitors, will shout, “You’ll elect Democrats you fools!”
Precisely!
The Democrats are blatantly honest about their intent to destroy this country and it’s values. It’s impossible for THEM to fade into the crowd. They are also, almost universally, far weaker opponents than their GOPe counterparts at any level within our Republic.
And after we rid ourselves of the snakes in our midst, destroying them will be comparatively easy.
If you are still inclined to chastise us for how WE are behaving in this election cycle …
… look cluelessly in the mirror and try to understand what WE already know: YOU are part of the problem
