The once patriotic republican party that worked with democrats in a strong bipartisan way to deliver on serving the best interests of the whole of society, over time, has eroded into a destructive and monstrous threat against Democracy, society and humanity. The amount of sedition, treason, moral rot and insanity that currently resides within the now GQP, and no thanks to a bunch of idiots who are also a threat to Democracy at voting for repukes against their interests and the interests of society. This includes who are at war against Democracy and humanity at also being sold out to the hellish rot of tRump that has turned them into a deranged mob of rabid outlaws.
Therefore, what exist now is a tRump cult GQP mob that still calls itself the Republican party but in fact a dysfunctional, grotesque and counterfeit interpretation of the what the original republican party was created to be at having a allegiance with Democracy, U.S. Constitutional law and a allegiance with its oath. Yet, that no longer exists as the republican party of the past has mutated into a rabid pestilence and broken beyond repair. The now GQP has created a situation at no longer being a functioning so-called political party but a war rampaging mob of demagogues as Democracy depends on a two party system to function efficiently and effectively.
There will be no healing until the GQP enemy combatant insurgency that has become poisoned by the tRump pestilence is eliminated and a new party arises committed to the Constitution, its oath, Democracy, bipartisan alignment and the rule of law. Waging war on Democracy led by tRump and his GOP mob of insurrections has proven to be a failure and exposed the so-called republican party for what it is as the seditious and war mongering against society enemy from within. I also hope other extraordinary measures become necessary in order to crush any other radical attacks that might come from tRump and his current GQPer mob of lawless domestic terrorists:
There’s a certain awful symmetry in politics. For the Republican Party, that symmetry appears to be violence in the Capitol — on one end of history, marking the party’s national ascendancy and on the other, signifying its present unraveling.
On May 22, 1856, pro-slavery, Democratic Rep. Preston Brooks of South Carolina attacked Republican Sen. Charles Sumner of Massachusetts in the Senate chamber. Pummeling Sumner with his cane, Brooks was livid that Sumner had decried the efforts of Brooks’s relative, South Carolina Sen. Andrew Butler, to admit the Kansas territory into the union as a slave state.
In the wake of the caning, public opinion divided along sectional lines. While the House of Representatives eventually would censure him, Brooks was unrepentant and his fellow southerners believed he had done “exactly right,” as Stephen Puleo recounted in “The Caning: The Assault The Drove America to Civil War.” Horrified and dismayed, northerners thought Brooks a “criminal,” and characterized the brutal beating as one “against the right of free speech and the dignity of a free State.”
As historian Lewis Gould explained, “the episode outraged moderate northern opinion as an example of southern aggression.” The extent of Sumner’s injuries made him a martyr to the anti-slavery cause, which also served to elevate the moral appeal of the Republican Party over its rival Whig Party successor in the North, the Know-Nothing Party.
In the presidential election later that year, the Republican nominee, John Fremont, earned 60 fewer electoral votes than Democratic nominee James Buchanan (174-114), but 106 more electoral votes than the Know-Nothing Party nominee, former President Millard Fillmore. This partial victory solidified the GOP’s position as a national party in America. Beginning in 1860, Abraham Lincoln made it the dominant party at the presidential level for more than 50 years.
On Jan. 6, 2021, the tables turned. Republicans not only lost the moral high-ground they once occupied, but the right-wing fringe element of their party sought to disrupt the counting of the electoral votes by ransacking the Capitol with the intent to harm members of Congress.
Less than one month on, what is clear is that the Capitol insurrection was only the visible part of the massive iceberg that is now ripping through the hull of the Republican Party. Below the water’s surface were the multitude of lies crafted by former President Trump and his advisers and perpetuated by some Republican elected officials in Congress and around the country.
Evidently concerned about the widening fractures in the GOP, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) made a pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago last week in an attempt to convince the former president to stop ostracizing Republicans whom Trump believes are disloyal to him.
The problem for McCarthy, not to mention the GOP, is that Trump’s allies and supporters are already planning to target Republicans in primary elections who have acknowledged the truth — that the 2020 election was legitimate, the count was fair and Trump lost. And Republican state parties are censuring Republicans who either voted in favor of impeachment or disavowed the outlandish efforts to overturn the election."
