One member of the debate board just brought out an article that shows clearly the rising fact that the Republican Party is now totally throwing themselves into a "live or die" scenario around Trump for its future.
This is clearly shown by what is happening to Liz Cheney.
This is Trump as puppeteer, with McCarthy and Scalise dancing to his preferred tune. Still don't believe me? Check this out: According to the conservative Heritage Action group, Cheney's lifetime vote score is 80%. Stefanik's is 48%. And even when it comes to votes in support of Trump, calculations done by 538 show that Cheney voted with the former president 92.9% of the time while Stefanik backed him 77.7% of the time.
So, yeah. This isn't about conservatism. Or even, really, supporting Trump's agenda while in office. This is about Cheney drawing a line in the sand over the events of January 6, as well as the runup to that day and its aftermath, all centered on Trump arguing, contra all available evidence, that the 2020 election was stolen. And yes, Stefanik voted to object to the Electoral College count in Pennsylvania on the same day that the Capitol was overrun by Trump-inspired rioters.
If you needed any more evidence that the Republican Party is currently a cult loving group that revolves around Trump, the fall of Cheney and rise of Stefanik should help convince you.
Any excuses as to why Cheney is being dumped are just excuses. She stood up on the principle that Trump was a bad president and a bad man and that has become inexcusable for the base. Morals, ethics, principles, and humanity, as well as the Conservative values that the Republican Party is supposed to represent have been thrown out the window.
This is now about the base supporting ONE MAN and everything he says and represents. A man that has proven himself to be incompetent, egoistic, sociopathic, unintelligent, and disrespectful of others. This is now the idol of the right. The one person that can say and do what he personally wants and is guaranteed to have 70 millions loving dogs licking his hands.
Is this what you want the United States to become? An idol worshipping nation?
Will you now be willing to strap dynamite to your bodies for the pleasure of enjoying Trump's favor in Hell?
The way I see it, is that this is the beginning of the end of the Republican Party. In the future it will be known as the Trump party or not exist at all.
Romney, Kasich, and even McConnell are leaving or are no longer representative of the party. Even John McCain (a hero) is likely turning in his grave.
