KRUGMAN: How big a deal is the surprise primary defeat of Representative Eric Cantor? VERY.

39. The Republican Party is dying. This is merely Custer's Last Stand

Diversity & fairness are poison to the "Conservative" movement ("Confederate" movement is more accurate).
What happened in the 1960s caused a massive backlash that would see most of these regressives to become more & more rabid every year.
They put their numbers together & tried to contain the inevitable change in society.
They were successful in the short term but in the long term they knew they were always doomed.

Each time progress on issues were made they got more & more lockstep, more & more contrary, more & more obstructionist.
Why? Because they're losing, that's why.
When they had their last strike against the tide with the Bush Jr. Presidency, it was only a matter of time before their worst nightmare came true.
And then there it was, Barack Obama.
Symbolically EVERYTHING they stood against coming in after their last mighty strike against the tide.

Obama hasn't even operated his position like he's supposed to & it's STILL wrecking their movement.
Just his existence in that office is eroding all of what they put together, all of the blockades & barriers to stand against the incoming tide.
It's irreversible now.
Obama one way or another DID bring Change to the country.

They're terrified so they're doing the only thing they know how to do.
They're consolidating their numbers further. They're only getting MORE lockstep, MORE contrary, MORE obstructionist.
But their numbers aren't enough anymore.
They're about to be flushed down the toilet of history & they know it.
They're just trying to clog the drain as long as they can.
When the tide moves them, they go down the drain rapidly.
The rushing waters have eroded the edges which keep them from the septic tank.

It's gonna collapse & it's gonna collapse dramatically.
It's time to strike the final blow & put this political body out of business.
Time to make the Confederates lose their organizing structure.
Time to loosen their grip on the national conversation.
They're either gonna have to adapt or die like the dinosaurs of the past.

Virginia, the seat of the Confederacy, has already begun turning against them.
It's only a matter of time before the rest do the same.
The jackpot called Texas, that's what we need to work on turning.
Without Texas, the Confederacy & the Republican Party which represents them are dead on the national scene.
After that death it's only a matter of time before it dies on the regional scenes.
No central body to organize around.

Cantor being upset is just a sign for the beginning of the end.
They're killing themselves trying to stand against the tide. Self-destructing.
2014 & 2016 elections are crucial. These two elections will determine the future of America.
Let's make that future a progressive one.
