Why do I get the feeling this ongoing child abuse issue, be it the sanctioning of surgical mutilation of kids or the normalization and promotion of pedophilia, will become for the republican party what Obamacare was for them a decade ago. Remember that? Send us money so we can take the house and repeal Obamacare. That was done. Then it was, send us more money so we can take the senate and repeal Obamacare. Roger that. Then, when they had both chambers they passed legislation repealing it while obama was in office, knowing good and damn well he would veto anything sent his way. And when they had all three branches and could actually repeal the thing?...crickets.
I could see them doing something similar with this nonsense while harris and mayor pete are in charge in 2023. Then, when someone like Ron DeSantis gets elected and tells them to send that same bill to him all of a sudden the votes won't be there. All of a sudden the big bad filibuster will become an issue. Can't touch those social issues ya know. Not the third-rail of politics. Bad for business don't ya know.
My hope is this time it's different. I believe this nonsense has touched a genuine nerve within the population and maybe just maybe, the rights of children will become for the modern day republican party what slavery became for the Whigs in the 1850s, the hill they die on because they lack the moral fortitude to do what is right. If that does happen and a new party comes about as a result, this time there should be no realignment, no taking in leftovers from that dead carcass of a party simply to boost numbers. That was the fatal flaw with the republicans in 1856. They absorbed a bunch of wishy-washy Whigs for the numbers and that gene never went away. It's still alive and well. Lincoln had trouble with the simps. So did Reagan. So did Trump.
Enough. If some new coalition does come about, and I believe this issue may force it, the wimps and the simps need to go back to their country clubs and enjoy martini's with Muffy, Tad and Biff. A time for choosing folks. It is upon us.
