It is interesting to see what is happening in the GOP right now. Not that it just started; it has been happening since 2020, but....
The MAGA mouth breathers.. (see @fatpiggy , @TigerGrowls , @jakefest ). Their priorities are:
Biden reelection.
- trump says any donors who continue donating to Nikki will be punished. And then she sets her personal record for donations.
- about 30% of Nikki voters polled say they will never vote for trump, even more say they are not sure if they would vote for trump.
- those same donors are not only encouraging Nikki to stay in the race, but they are saying they absolutely wont support trump. They are now openly discussing a 3rd party candidate.
- Those donors are saying they do not like what trump and his base have made the party. It is all about retribution and revenge, not about policy. They also do not like the fact that trump has 90+ indictments.
- trump's is milking the rubes to pay for his legal issues, to the point that state and local GOP are going bankrupt, and will have no money for campaigns.
- trump is telling GOP not to pass any border bill before the election, b/c it will hurt his chances of being elected. Most GOP have fallen in line, while a few holdouts are defiant. trump is promising retribution to anyone who disobeys him.
- This week, the OK GOP voted to censure their senator Lankford for working with democrats on a new border bill (which is, of course, exactly what his job is).
The MAGA mouth breathers.. (see @fatpiggy , @TigerGrowls , @jakefest ). Their priorities are:
- obey trump at all costs, even if it means abandoning traditional conservative or democratic values.
- own the libs
- destroy the democrats
- punish anyone who crossed leader trump
- conservative fiscal policy, border policy, moderate policies that can be implemented under the constitution
- stopping the more liberal policies that increase dependency on the government.
- to not let trump's "revenge politics" completely take over the party, even if that means starting a third party.
Biden reelection.
