3. The GOP has jettisoned all of their original policy positions
Mon Jun 3, 2024, 08:47 AM
Jun 2024

and is now running on "We will only do the opposite of what Democrats do" (even if it was something originally proposed by a Republican and actually accepted by Democrats - see that Senate Border bill). Meaning that they will lock on to whatever is "opposite" of what we do, and will not let go.

E.g., if a Democrat looks out the window and notices that it has started to rain, when it's time to go out for lunch, they will bring an umbrella to deal with it. Meanwhile the loon Republican will not only insist that the Democrat is lying about it raining, they will go full throttle trying to ban umbrellas. Because. Democrats used one. THEN when they walk out and get wet, they will manufacture a conspiracy theory that Democrats seeded the clouds just at that moment in order to poison the U.S. with toxic rain.
