Is this a good idea for Republicans? Insofar as they won the 2024 by a slim 1.5%, should they jettison the MAGA base (assuming that there is a practical way to accomplish that)?
Imagine a Republican party that had found a way to separate itself from evangelical Christians, white nationalists, the anti-woke, supporters of the insurrection, the uneducated, the supporters of assault weapons, anti-environmentalists, and so forth.
Whom does that leave? Only the amoral/immoral rich people, and sorry, that’s not going to get the job done.
Does the Republican Party Really Want to Rid Itself of “Contemptible Fools?”
I’m ready to live in a country with zero hateful morons, if that counts.
As shown here, people have an infinite variety of ways to express their loathing of Trump.
My maternal grandfather was born in southeastern Pennsylvania in 1903 and told me when I was a boy that in the 1920s, times were so good that saloon owners would offer a free lunch, consisting of bread, cheese, and cold cuts. “Sure, they were hoping you’d buy a glass of beer, but they really didn’t mind if you didn’t and simply scarfed down a free sandwich.”
He went on to tell me that nowadays, there’s a popular slogan: There’s no such thing as a free lunch, “but believe me, there was at the time.”
From today’s perspective of greed and selfishness, this whole story sounds like a fairy tale. Corporations and the congresspeople they own want one thing: to suck the life out of us.
