(2,354 posts)Consider Roe vs. Wade. They truly thought that Dobbs would be good for them, ultimately. They still think we are going to come around and support it eventually, although we know how wrong they were/are. This gives us insight into the absolute inflexibility of their psyche. Its why compromise sticks in their craw so hard, they view anything other than 100% victory as a loss, and (at the root of all of this) they never were taught how to lose gracefully. Or win for that matter, if you consider that it was tfgs election in 2016 that finally made me understand what the word butthurt meant.
But my point is theyve over reached badly with Dobbs, and the core group in the Conservative Party that was validated with tfgs election still feel like they matter most of all. Theyre too dim to read the room. Every election since Dobbs came down has been a bloodbath for them, and 2024 is going to be no exception. And truthfully, there is a very real path to victory for whoever gets the nomination, but its a very narrow way, and I dont think any of the people in the running have what it takes to pull it off.
The only thing we really have to fear right now is division and backstabbing amongst ourselves.
