The Republican Party Has Devolved Into a Racket

[BidenPresident]

The country needs a right-of-center party. But today, as the G.O.P. has lost a collective commitment to solving the nation’s problems and become purposeless, the line separating party politics from political conspiracy has frayed. Mr. Trump, in this way, is the product more than the author of that collective party failure.

The Georgia election case against Mr. Trump and 18 others makes for a particularly powerful X-ray of the party. The sheer array and specific identities of those indicted in the case highlights how easily a conspiracist approach to political life, unconstrained by a party now incapable of policing boundaries or channeling passions into a larger purpose beyond raw hardball, can justify and compel illicit machinations.

GOP is a fascist party.

GOP is a fascist party.

Thing is, it's been that way since the 1960's.

Conservatism has never once delivered on any of the promises it makes, and it leans into fascism because Conservatives have absolutely ZERO policies they can point to as successes.
