Trump has officially turned the GOP into the QAnon Party
There's just six months left in Donald Trump's presidential term. I think it's fair to say the office isn't going to change him.
But it's possible that he just changed the Republican Party forever.
In praising adherents of the deranged QAnon conspiracy theory as well as publicly endorsing two overt bigots who won their nominations to represent the Republican Party in November's congressional elections Trump has officially made the GOP the party of the internet scumbag.
The Party of Lincoln InfoWars
Mainstream Republicans for the past four years have held their noses during Trump's most embarrassing tantrums, ragestorms, and racist blurts. They've dutifully swallowed their pride and surrendered their spines. In doing so, they've allowed the rot on the fringes of the right to seep further and further into the party's core.
Trump's latest trifecta just puts the stamp of approval on the rot.

(24,556 posts)Personally, I like the Organized Crime Party better, but if The QAnon Party becomes the new brand, that's OK, too.

(2,175 posts)I do not believe they swallowed their pride This is just the logical conclusion of the Rethuglican Party staring with the election of Saint Ronnie who hated "intellectuals". Remember when Saint Ronnie the Moron taking down the solar panels on the White House roof, to Dan Quayle, to Bush the Idiot, to Caribou Barbie to 45. When I was young the Birchers were laughed at with their wild conspiracy theories, now the presidents embraces them.
