Trump Has Destroyed The Republican Party

[PJMcK]

12. Republicans used to have serious policy ideas

While I didn’t agree with them, the ideas were put forth clearly: lower taxes, strong military, conservative fiscal policies, etc.

All of that began to change when Reagan, Gingrich and Limbaugh began their insulting and hypocritical political attacks. It all came to a head in 2020 when the party didn’t bother having a national political platform. Republicans didn’t stand for anything but Trump!

We may be seeing something remarkable, the demise of a political party. Republicanism can be replaced but the party is so fractured, it’s hard to see it re-forming into a national force again.

If they asked me, and they won’t, I’d tell them their first step out of the woods is to dump Trump. They won’t and so we’ll see something incredible over the next year and a half.
