I think Ron Filipkowski is right about CPAC and it couldn't happen to a nicer cult

[senseandsensibility]

"CPAC is dead. Totally irrelevant. Yesterday's news. Bye."

Nobody is there. Trump and Jaydee didn't attend. The crowd is so rudderless and brain dead that they applaud the idea of trump's impeachment.

Hard to believe that is was just last year when Elon was there with his chainsaw. What a difference a year makes.

1. Is Turning Point the Alpha MAGA PAC now?

CPAC, Heritage Foundation and Federalist society have been calling the shots for at least 30 years, are we witnessing a changing of the guard?

9. TP seems to be circling the drain as well.

[Fiendish Thingy]

11. Are we witnessing a slow motion MAGAgeddeon?

I sure hope so.

Now where’s my popcorn?

[617Blue]

14. Fingers crossed.

24. Pretty sure this will happen when Old Colostomy joins the choir eternal.

There's no obvious heir apparent to replace him as (figure)head of the movement, so it's unlikely to remain unified.

It seems to be fragmenting already. Jinglesphincter's incompetence has never been more obvious, the Iran War is not popular among them, and the economic miracle they were promised isn't happening. There are even some - not a majority, but some - who genuinely thought ICE was going to focus on violent criminals and not their neighbors. You can only pretend you're not seeing what you're actually seeing for so long.

There will always be a die-hard core, but parts of the movement will head in different directions.

21. I don't think the Merry Widow is that concerned with TP USA

2. Years ago Steve Schmidt described the CPAC convention as "the Star Wars bar scene of the conservative movement."

“Look, this CPAC convention is increasingly the Star Wars bar scene of the conservative movement. I mean all that’s missing at that convention is a couple of Wookiees" - Schmidt on MSNBC

3. Or Markwayne with his shirt off

[senseandsensibility]

4. It was a freakshow alright

I always changed the channel when CNN or MSNOW insisted on covering it. Just like with trump's voice, it hurt my ears and my brain.

[MustLoveBeagles]

5. I like that description

[patphil]

8. And here it is...

[Ferrets are Cool]

6. They are just packaging it under new'ish names.

Don't think for a minute that they are dead.

[Marie Marie]

7. The few that are there are only there for the Grinder hook-ups.

[AZ8theist]

18. So that DEFINITELY includes Mike Johnson

[Attilatheblond]

19. How is his 'almost adopeted son' doing, anyway?

[Marie Marie]

22. So they say....

[eShirl]

10. Trump 2.0 is an enthusiasm downer

[senseandsensibility]

12. I think it will be at the polls too!

So sad for them.

[JHB]

13. It was always a circle of jerks. Now it's down to those who want to be literal about it.

[Attilatheblond]

20. Or a bunch of DEM infiltrators who applauded for 'IMPEACHMENT'

That was REALLY funny

Edited because my hands and my brain are not on speaking terms today

[BaronChocula]

15. Here's some video of that applause for impeachment

Which was a slap to Schlapp (who has been accused of improper behavior by at least one young male aide).

16. Wrong answer!

Ya think?

[ToxMarz]

17. Well at least they're keeping Grindr hopping

23. The attendees thought it was really about conservative values. They're figuring out that Trump is a grifter and abuser

And they're applauding the idea of him being held to account for his crimes which is a value of actual law abiding conservative people. But, the CPAC chairman is a sex abuser like Trump and thinks that the CPAC attendees are stupid lemmings
