  1. @HeyMildred The majority of Republican politicians sacrificed their conservative principles at the altar of Donald Trump. Not all, but most. And for as long as these enablers and cheerleaders remain in office, Trump authoritarianism will infect the GOP. It’s not true to say that Trump hijacked the GOP. It is true to say that the anti-democracy white supremacist strain already present strangled whatever conservative and American values remained in the party. Until they’re removed, the GOP’s claim on conservatism is false. It’s packaging, marketing, PR. The GOP is not going to reform itself into a party of decent, honorable, patriotic conservatives from the inside, and the Trump Republicans will fight such a change tooth and nail, as we are already seeing. As we have seen for the past 4 years. And it’s possible that the cancer afflicting the GOP is inoperable. In which case, a quick painless death is preferable, and traditional conservatives can form a new party. Fact is, the Republican Party split off from the Whig party, which went extinct. We might call this new party The Lincoln Party in honor of our greatest president and as a nod to our friends here at TLP. Creating a new party might be a Herculean effort, but it might be a better investment of time, effort, and treasure compared with trying to resurrect the decrepit and corrupt GOP. Another possibility is to form a conservative faction within the Democratic Party. This could effectively turn hyperpartisan obstructionism into factional compromise. It would turn the legislature (but not the government structure) into a quasi parliament. A lot of democrats would cry foul, if not scream bloody murder. But the fact is, a large part of the country remains conservative. Conservatives joining the Democratic Party would move the country towards unity and away from division. That’s all something for the future. Right now, the immediate goal is to do all we can to give Democrats control of the Senate, and that means the Senate run offs in Georgia.
