Does anyone remember that the GOPe spent many years raising millions of dollars on the promise, the absolute promise to repeal Obamacare? The GOP got the House, the Senate, and the White House, and Obamacare still stands. It occurred to me then that the GOPe's strategy to raise lots and lots of money was/is to make promises that they do not intend to ever keep. I figured that the GOPe did not WANT to be in the majority, lest it become obvious that they don’t mean what they say. They just want your money.
Emerald Robinson’s latest column at The Right Way Substack
has a take on this charming state of affairs:
. . . Right now, GOP leadership is
working on a mass amnesty bill in the lame duck session that’s opposed by the
overwhelming majority of GOP voters. To fully understand the depth of this
treachery, you have to recall that GOP politicians spent the last two years
complaining about the invasion on the Southern border. They did this every
day — every hour! —on Fox News, and other corporate media outlets. It
was the GOP’s daily drum beat. Kevin McCarthy even promised to impeach DHS
chief Alejandro Mayorkas over the border disaster.
In the midst of all those promises
— and all that posturing — GOP Senate leadership is ready to deliver a mass
amnesty bill? That’s either political malpractice of the highest order, or the
ultimate sign that the GOP establishment stands for nothing and stands
against nothing.
It’s the latter, of course.
Read the rest here. I would argue is that the collapse didn’t
just happen in the past month or so. It’s
been in a state of collapse for years;
Unfortunately, it is only relatively recently that many conservatives
have begun to recognize the collapse.
