My question would be - can the rest of the Republican party without Trump and some of those on the extreme right be saved?
Do they distance themselves from some of the more extreme members promoting "the big lie", QAnon, and other conspiracies and try to move forward somehow? Is there a split coming?
I know many Republicans who would love to vote R but may not be comfortable continuing to support a party promoting such wild ideas.
Who will be the leader of the party willing to support more moderate Republicans, and possibly pick up some of those in the middle along the way?
Those who would love to vote Republican, may need to rethink that concept, because what they though the Republican Party was is no longer that.. It has NOT been the Republican Party of 1964 since the passage of the Civil Rights Act.
- What it became was the Party of white people who were desperate to roll back Civil Rights and Try and Recreate The Past, by attacking, blocking and trying to stagnate progress and defeat the full integration of a Multi-ethnic and Multicultural Society.
Conservatism has always been "fiction for the foolish". It's basis was built upon denying government programming that benefits the citizen population and more targeted to denying and defeating anything that would include benefits for and too minorities, and dire poor whites and immigrants.
- It was designed to be for and about directing Federal, State and Local Resources to what ever benefits the wealthy, the industrialist and the Politicians who advocate for the wealthy and the industrialist.
- One can look at the Federalist Society created under Reagan Administration, which has been bastardizing the courts with right wing, Business before People, Judges.
- The Early Federalist, were as well focused on "Business before People"
- Representative Democracy understand that People support business with labor and consumerism, without those two elements, there is no business that can develop or prosper. Business is built on the principle of service to society, it functions because of collective labor and collective consumerism of society.
- The value of collectivism is powerful. It's why Business wanted to destroy Unions, because Union's gave the people a voice in how business served the laborer as well as how that business met the needs and services to benefit society and community.
- PEOPLE ARE THE NATIONS GREATEST NATIONAL SECURITY BENEFIT TO A NATION!!!
These are elements that are part of what "Critical Thinking" bring to the better performances of what is society and nation.
People don't know history, if they did they'd know there were two group that engaged challenges in the Drafting and Implementation of the Declaration of Independence and the Development of The Constitution.
There was the wealthy, the land owners and the industrialist, including slave owners and those who possessed indentured servants, and the other was the group that wanted to empower the people in general without regard to monetary, ethnic, religious or racial classifications.
the former was the roots of Conservatism which is diametrically opposed to what benefits the people and empower the people and promote for the nation and people.
The land owners, the industrialist and slave owners and those who possessed indentured servants, considered themselves the most important members of society. Those who stood for Democracy Principles for All People were the Non Conservatives.
It's very detailed and most people simply don't have the motivation or the attention span to have learned these things, nor did they have the critical thinking developmental concerns to know why they needed to learn these things. Civics Illiteracy is a tremendous damage to any nation and its people. What people don't know is very damaging to society when people become caught in a spin cycle where they don't think they need to know. Civic Education is among the most important types of Education in the Advancement of Any Nation.
America suffers many challenges over many centuries and many decades due to Civics Illiteracy of what is American Representative Democracy, and how a Republic Form of Representative Governance was designed to empower the people, to be a self governing society. It teaches people the
critical importance of what Regulatory Programming is to the benefits of a Republic Form of Representative Governances.
It's unfortunate that many of the previous generational types don't understand what is being said. They can't comprehend what they have spent their lives trying not to understand, therefore it becomes bewildering, and the habit of short attention span grooming, has not benefitted them.
