Yesterday, the latest set of indictments were charged against Donald Trump, these related to his direct assault on American Democracy and the attempt to overthrow the election.
There are those who hope, futilely I believe, that this will finally break ‘the fever.’ There is no fever. There is no madness gripping the Modern Republican Party from which sanity can be restored. This GOP is the GOP that is logical and inevitable result of decades of committed action. The party Trump usurped was once crafted to believe the big lies, to reject reality, and one motivated by hate, primed for a man such as Trump to come and take it away from the monied interests who foolishly believed such a monster would remain forever in their control.
So, one more set of charges, one more barrage of criminality, one more assault on democracy will matter not at all to a base cultivated to reject reality for their own twisted and hateful fantasies.
Within the GOP primary I suspect Trump numbers will move no more than the usual amount dictated by statistical noise. Old School Republican Pols such as Mike Murphy will continue to cling to their own delusions of a weakening Trump and the spineless will continue to supplicate themselves for breadcrumbs of power from this poisonous party.
The salvation of this nation, this democratic experiment, lies outside of the Republican Party. The GOP must be defeated everywhere and at every level of political power. Not just in the next election or the one after that but for the next twenty years. Saving America is a generational project and only a new generation of Republicans might be trusted with any power at all.
The base of support for Trump, comes from the Democratic Party decades-long Cold Civil War against fellow Americans.
There’s good reasons why the Democratic Party domination of 20th Century American politics, which last peaked in 1965 has slowly crumbled into dust since then. They brought that reaction upon themselves as they were captured and corrupted by some of the worst factions of American culture. From staunch working-class loving nationalists, the Democrats now are cynical perverse entitled America-hating metropolitans.
The Cold Civil War has been amplified and continued by the old-age-demented, historically and infamously dishonest, and probably personally corrupt President Biden. But the Angry Joe Dementia administration’s escalation of illegal schemes, to crush Americans 1st Amendment rights and 2nd Amendment rights, are suffering continued reversals in the Federal Courts.
