I'm not sure what to make of this or how it is going to shake out in the end.

The republicans have become a completely oppositional party void of consistent ideology. They were brilliant as the party of no under Obama but I’m not talking about that.

They have become an opposition party even in places they maintain power. This can be seen in state after state where right wing governors are using their power to stop local governments from making their own decisions. Governors like Abbott and DeSantis are putting in measures that stop municipalities from acting in the best interests of those they represent. It’s a political power move that stands in direct opposition to conservatism.

This is a newer trend considering the scale it is now being done. They are literally being an opposition party, void of ideology, even where they hold power.

In some states I think this is going to be a temporary electoral win for them as they are heightening and playing to emotions. What it doesn’t do is establish consistent ideology, serve the people, or promote conservatism. It’s a long term loser....

1. It is a win for a criminal enterprise. They don't care who they hurt.

They are in it for profit and power.

2. That was one of my thoughts as well.

An usurping of power to a smaller and more formidable group who are void of good intentions. That is most likely the driving force. I’m still not sure how it will play out in the end outside of a degradation of society.

9. Rule by a small elite is the most common form of government historically.

Democracy is the outlier.

3. It is rule by a minority party

With increasing shifts towards being an even smaller and smaller minority.

Active suppression becomes the only way to maintain power.

It doesn't end well for the minority party, the Country or both

4. I so appreciate the words you have used.

You stated some of my thought so succinctly. It’s a bit frightening as they have major power to actively suppress.

5. They are no longer a political party.

They are a criminal organization, existing to commit and cover up crimes. There is no need for ideology, service, or promotion of conservatism.

All crime, all the time.

8. Exactly, they are now a full fledged crime syndicate. Money and power is their game.

6. It's been that way for many years now.

The GQP only fund raises and obstructs. ALEC was the party who wrote all of their legislation but now the Heritage Foundation is taking over. The Heritage Foundation wrote all of the voter suppression laws in the states that is why they are so consistent. All that the GQP has to do is crack the whip and make sure that all of its members toe the Heritage Foundation line. They have their talking points provided to them and they must repeat them over and over again so that they get repeated in the MSM.
