'Rationals' vs. 'radicals': Anti-Trump Republicans threaten third party

Source: Reuters

Over 100 former Republican officials will sign a letter on Thursday declaring that if the Republican Party does not break with former President Donald Trump and change course, they will back the creation of a third party.

The letter, headlined: "A Call For American Renewal," is an exploratory move toward forming a breakaway party, two of its organizers said. The group is dismayed by what it says is a modern Republican Party driven by its allegiance to Trump, who continues to falsely claim the 2020 election was stolen from him.

"The Republican Party is broken. It's time for a resistance of the 'rationals' against the 'radicals,'" said Miles Taylor, one of the organizers. Taylor, while serving in the Trump White House, wrote an anonymous opinion piece in the New York Times in 2018 headlined: "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration."

The group first raised the threat in February, following the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters to try to disrupt congressional certification of Democrat Joe Biden's presidential election victory.

WOWZA!!

A bunch of know nothing RINOS making a stupid claim that only low IQ dumbasses in the Party of the Jackass, like you, buy into. 2022 is going to be harsh on you Fascistic assholes.

Even if Biden gets rid of the filibuster -- which he won't -- he still has Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema covering for him. You need to realize who Joe Biden and the undemocratic party are.

I'll give you a hint, they are owned by Citigroup and Goldman Sachs.

Do you really expect rational people to believe your fake news bullshit?

 

[Truth Detector]

I hate to keep sounding like a broken record but the gig economy is up. People are looking for fiscal stability and single-payer healthcare. The markets have a good chance of collapsing before the 2022 election. All hell will break loose if there's any talk of a 5th bailout in 30 years.

 

[Joe Capitalist]

Check it out, there's still someone who believes the US is capitalist. I count 3 bailouts this millennia and we're only 20 years in.

I see you neglected to show me your proof that Economists and historians are predicting worse than 1929 with food riots and all.

I guess that means that it's all bullshit. But nice try. Maybe a few gullible, naive morons will believe it.

The rest of us? Not so much.

You have the history laid bare for you

Every single Republican President since Nixon has left behind an economy in tatters:

1. Nixon/Ford left behind runaway inflation, a recession, and oil embargo to Carter
2. Reagan left behind Black Monday, the S&L Scandal, and a recession to Bush the Elder
3. Bush the Elder left behind a recession to Clinton
4. Bush the Dumber left behind a recession to Obama
5. Trump left behind a pandemic and a recession to Biden

Sensing a pattern?

The pattern is that Clinton, Obama, and Biden all rolled over and gave the republicans everything they want. Not even Sanders used the filibuster to stop all the wars and bailouts.

You fail to accept that both parties are owned by the oligarchs.

What? What did they give the Republicans, besides a free pass on accountability?

Not even Sanders used the filibuster to stop all the wars and bailouts.

Well, I don't support the wars, but the bailouts were necessary because Conservative policy destroyed the economy 5 times in 50 years.

Is that what I said?

It was not a quote- it was a question for you to answer!

Bailouts is socialism for the rich. It's not that difficult to look up credit card Joe's voting record.

You were given Hillary and Biden to vote for. Dems couldn't come up with a better candidate so you get Harris in 2023. No matter who you vote for the policies stay the same. Palestine/Israel is a perfect example.

Both Hillary and Biden got more votes than did Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020!

i DON'T SEE HOW Palestine and Israel's conflict has to do with AMERICAN POLITICS except that NO AMERICAN PRESIDENT has been able to resolve it- AND IT IS NOT OUR MATTER TO RESOLVE!

Palestine/Israel is an outpost for US imperialism. The 51st state. Biden admits to being a zionist.

Wall Street. The federal reserve will most likely have to be dissolved. Economists and historians are predicting worse than 1929 with food riots and all. We could see a systemic collapse -- political, economic, and social.

No mainstream economist or historian is predicting anything like that. Almost no one is even predicting double digit inflation, along the lines of Reagan.

 

[Flash]

Will the dems keep the house in 2022?

That's all that really matters.

I don't see that it matters that much. Republicans cannot accomplish anything with just the House and can probably already block the Democrats from anything too crazy.

That's why squabbling right vs left is counterproductive.

The Federal Reserve will not be dissolved and I seriously doubt food riots. Which economists and historians predicted worse than 1929?

What would be accomplished by dissolving the Fed? It probably would become more important during an economic crisis.

Obamacare came from a conservative think tank known as the Heritage Foundation. Dems had the house and a filibuster proof supermajority in the senate, yet we the people didn't even get a public option. If not for dems being sellouts, we could've had single-payer.

Republicans had zero power yet ended up with a giant give-away to insurance companies and big pharma. You can't make this shit up.

Obamacare was a giant leap forward for liberal values. You can't leapfrog from jungle law to single payer anymore than the first space mission can
go to alpha centauri before the moon. How many millions got out of the losing end of social darwinism to having medical care? How many million exactly?

What do you think will be bailed out?

That’s all very true.

Obama didn’t have the balls to get done what was possible, so he settled for Romneycare instead.
