Re: More Republican Party Fracturing
Paywall, but I got the gist of it.
Found it elsewhere
"Maybe normal Republicans will find their spines if Trump takes them down to defeat in 2022 and they realize they defeated themselves by giving over their party to a madman who would have no power to destroy except that which they’ve ceded him."
Normal Republicans? donald took over the party in 2016 and they've just noticed? The GOP hasn't existed except in name since the convention.Last edited by skuthorp; 09-18-2021, 01:39 AM.Comment

Re: More Republican Party Fracturing
I still am not seeing any fracturing. Sloughing off yes, and a few attempts like the Lincoln Project, but where are the "responsible" Republicans who should be condemning Trump & the Jan. 6th crowd? Silence.
Trump seems to still be relevant - why if so many Reps don't support him?"If it ain't broke, you're not trying." - Red GreenComment

Re: More Republican Party Fracturing
Silence? No. The ostensible “good” Republicans are leaning in to Trumpism. Elise Stefanik is fundraising off replacement theory.Comment

Re: More Republican Party Fracturing
A lot of what happens in '22 depends directly on how many people are prevented from voting.
70% of registered Republicans believe the election was stolen. That suggests 30% do not believe that.
Theoretically, that 30% may be convinced to vote for the democrats.
It also depends on the democrats passing something substantial that people will like."Banning books in spite of the 1st amendment, but refusing to regulate guns in spite of "well regulated militia' being in the 2nd amendment makes no sense. Can't think of anyone ever shot by a book

The GOP has not exsisted since 2016 when donald won a hostile takeover, and was allowed to consolidate because of perceived political advantage. I bet they all thought "He's a klutz, we'll be able to conrrol his worst excesses". Sounds like I've heard that presumption before.
So now you are well on the way to having an extreme RW party masquerading under the old Republican tag. Not a good development regarding the unity of the nation which was already under stress.
I suppose if a third party, a Conservative party was to arise now might be the time to begin to work for it using those refugees from political change as a seeding. And now whither the democrats? They have a chance to be in office for a very long time if they don't, without a mainstream rival, split. Being comfortably in government is often not condusive to unity.Comment

Re: More Republican Party Fracturing
Every single Republican in the House voted to default on the debt ceiling. The Senate is poised to do the same.
Every single one, lockstep.
There is no fracturing of the Republican party.Steve MartinsenComment

Re: More Republican Party Fracturing
Not fracturing; attrition, at least so far. The most responsible, sane (and courageous, in some cases) ones are peeling off, leaving most of the rest. It may get to 'fracturing' (one can hope), but it hasn't yet."For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations,

Re: More Republican Party Fracturing
Arizona Audit Backers Turn on Each Other After Recount Flop
Supporters of Republicans’ controversial “audit” of 2020 presidential election ballots have turned on each other after the partisan investigation failed to find proof of election malfeasance, with disaffected backers even circulating a fabricated rival report they claim shows interference by the “deep state.”.......
Among the audit report’s new detractors: Jovan Hutton Pulitzer, the controversial inventor whose supposed technology analyzing folds in ballot paper had promised, according to audit supporters, to detect some kind of voter fraud. Instead, the final audit report contained no mention of Pulitzer’s imaging technology, a change Pulitzer attributed on Twitter to “deep state” malfeasance.....
Right-wing media personalities disappointed by the audit have even promoted a fictitious rival report they claimed was the “real” report from audit operators Cyber Ninjas. In this telling, the fabricated “draft” report called for Biden’s win to be decertified. But while the fake report was embraced by prominent right-wing news blog The Gateway Pundit as proof that the real report released on Friday had been “watered down,” Cyber Ninjas blasted the report as a hoax.
