New GOP headache as candidate condemned for racist videos wins Republican primary - POLITICO
A racist in Georgia is the GOP candidate for a House seat in Georgia after winning the primary and that means she is headed to Washington. She is also a believer in QAnon, and thus she will probably be taking her gun to the pizza place where Hillary has her child sex ring. Trumpsters can keep telling us that Trump is against racists, but when someone like this can run openingly there is no longer a question of Trump's love for these very good people.

There's every reason to assume the GOP gets nuttier before they get saner. I don't know what the critical mass is going to be, but it's gonna be ugly.

Lots of folks like that in Ga. I grew up with them.

Why do you think the south has been solid red since 1968

This is district GA-14, a mostly rural, 45-loving district. It also includes Paulding County, from where that infamous photo of kids packed into a high school hallway came.

She'll fit right in.

The GOP really wasn't always like this.

A long time ago, they were reasonable. A Big Tent of conservative idealism focusing on small government but not afraid of bipartisanship. They grew into a more aggressive and divisive party favoring partisanship over ideology over time. But with Trump, they've transformed into something completely different. A Tiny Tent of hyperpartisanship and ignorance that seems to revolve around racism, white nationalism, and conspiracy theory promotion.

Well, conspiracy theorist is one thing, i think most people are conspiracy theorists to an extent. But what makes her racist? I've seen her videos. She doesn't hate anyone for the color of their skin.

That nutjob?

Now that's just pathetic. The GOP needs to break up and reform into something else.

The GOP is still that party. There are many kinds of gopers all over the US. Some like Greene, some like trump, some like mitt romney. It's diverse and individualistic, with no expectations that 2 conservatives will agree with each other.

That attitude is on the democrat party. Good luck calling yourself a democrat, agreeing with universal health care, free college, etc, and then turn around and call Israel an ally. Leftists will ridicule and disown you right then and there.

No, this is a lie. Anyone who disagrees with Trump is called a RINO, the GOP began eating its own a little while ago, but have gone full-cannibalism under Trump. If you don't march lock-step with them, then you're a RINO and outcasted. The GOP doesn't push small government policies any longer. They've given up all integrity, platform, and philosophy to pursue trolling the left.

There's nothing left of the GOP now that reminiscent of the old Grand Ol Party. It's a shame, really, but it's also reality.

More evidence the GOP is becoming more and more of a right wing extremist wet dream.

Marjorie Taylor Greene will be running in a Congressional district that was R+27 in the last election. She is almost certain to get elected.

Doesn't say a lot for the Georgia constituents of that particular district now does it?

Just the fact alone that she's a Q supporter makes her a ****ing idiot. But The New Republican Party really is starting to embrace Q and the bull**** conspiracies. It'll be fun watching the party die.

Correct. When I identified as a Republican I was not an asshole as today's "Republicans" are.

Trump brought out the worst in people.He enabled their bigotry to become something they are proud of.

Dwight Eisenhower is rolling in his grave at what his once great party has become.

So are my parents.

"Gangs hold black men down" - Is that racist?

BTW, Islam is a religion, not a race.

Read the 1980 Republican Party platform..

It's night and day.. Ronald Reagan couldn't get elected dog catcher in today's GOP....

It hasn't, so you clearly haven't a clue what you're talking about.
