Conspiracy Theorists Say Republican Party Did Not Die from Natural Causes

[Zorro]

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Conspiracy theorists believe that the Republican Party did not die from natural causes but was instead the target of an elaborately planned killing, a leading conspiracy theorist has confirmed.

Harland Dorrinson, whose basement walls are covered with photos of suspects in the killing of the G.O.P., has spent countless hours connecting those photos with different colors of yarn in the hopes that a larger pattern would emerge.

“Because the Republican Party is one hundred and sixty-one years old, it’s assumed that it was time for it to die,” he said. “The truth is, that’s exactly what the people who killed it want us to think.”

While some conspiracy theorists have focussed on the billionaire Donald J. Trump as the most likely suspect in the death of the Republican Party, Dorrinson favors a “two-killer” theory that involves Arizona Senator John McCain and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

1. Hate

You can't hate women, minorities, people who are't Christians, poor people, LGBTQ persons, liberals, and people with disabilities and expect that your party is going to remain viable.

2. Funny, cute...

but I wish the Repub party was "dead." Like any wild beast, it is dangerous, even in its death throes.

3. I don't care how the party died. Just drive a stake through its heart so it can't come back to life.
