You listen to the little lady!

They do. They care less about immediate power but rather about their long-term power in the GOP and will gladly surrender power now if it means getting rid of the MAGA wing of the party. If we lose the midterms they will say "SEE!" and tell us we lost because we ran to the right and should shut up and listen to our betters.

The inside-the-beltway crowd does not see a crisis in America, but rather sees a crisis in Trump and in those in Middle America holding power. WE are the existential threat, not the ever-leftward drift of this country. They built an empire for themselves and do not intend to be stripped of it.

Trump's re-election was like a horrible nightmare returning for a second night and they just want to ride it out. Make Trump impotent and then return to business as usual once the American "temper tantrum" is over.

They don't understand that the American People are seeing the Republic slip away and we aren't going back. They may act as spoilers but the public will only grow angrier. The djihn is out of the bottle.

I loathe every filthy one of the RINO Republicans; they are traitors to kin and country. They know better too but they like their power and money and privilege and will fight to keep it at the expense of America. Democrats I get; they are scumbags from the get go. But the RINO wing is beyond a disgrace.

Laura is right in that the GOP still thinks like the minority party and has since the time of FDR. But I don't think it is just fear of having to make hard choices and do real work; it's ideological and personal. They went to Washington to be lauded and feted and wined and dined, and to make money for themselves. They sold out to the internationalists a long time ago. It's not just fear of doing what America wants, it's a disagreement with what America wants and a desire to circumvent the will of the People.

As Alfredo Arias-King, former aid to former Mexican President Vicente' Fox explained, the GOP wants open borders and lots of illegal aliens because they don't want to be answerable to the American People - they want instead to replace the American People with a more compliant people who will let them run things as long as they hand over the social welfare money. Arias-King had no reason one way or another to point this out. It was just what he was seeing when meeting with RINO Republicans.

Pretty much everything else they want is equally evil and self-serving. They want socialism as much as the Democrats, just want it to come more slowly. But their ships are sailing leftward on the map as surely as the Democrats, only they are sailing ships rather than nuclear vessels.

The sad thing about this is that this election was entirely winnable had the GOP just tried to enact the MAGA agenda, which polls extremely high. But they don't want to give Trump the win and so have foot dragged, especially where conservative candidates beat out the old carpetbaggers and shysters (like John Cornyn - the GOP has given Ken Paxton nothing).

There is only one reason to not pursue the MAGA vote, to get the base to turn out; it's that you don't WANT them to do so.

Quislings. The GOP deserves to die as much as does the Democratic Party. In some ways maybe more. The Democrats are just scorpions, the Republicans are hypocritical vipers.
