We Lost the Battle for the Republican Party’s Soul Long Ago

There is no bottom to the current GOP swamp.

Listen to them cheer.

This is the GOP, they don’t want young people to vote.

Such a cunt

[MICHHAWK]

young people don’t vote. so uncle joes most recent round of freebies won’t amount to much at the polls. It will spike the inflation. raise the gas prices. we will be paying more for groceries. and the kids will have a little extra jingle in their pocket for video games and their recreational drugs.

You’d think after 50 years in Washington uncle joe would know young people don’t vote.

What a moron. What makes it worse is that she genuinely thinks that she is super smart and witty.

It's this level of stupidity that the GOP is hoping more people have so it can sell it's platform of ignorance and "alternate facts".

This guy actually wants to debate Raphael Warnock.

From an opinion piece in yesterday’s Washington Post

If it appears the volume of deception coming from MAGA Republicans is increasing, that’s because it is. Two academics from New York University set about documenting the proliferation of rubbish in a study they described this week for The Post’s Monkey Cage feature. They found that 36 percent of the news that Republican congressional candidates shared on social media came from unreliable sources on an average day from January to July, up from 8 percent for the same period in 2020. (The news shared by Democratic candidates from unreliable sources rose to 2 percent from 1 percent.)
The most ominous finding is where the crescendo of crazy is coming from. Incumbent Republican members of Congress were relatively truthful: Only 6 percent of the news they shared came from unreliable sources. Among Republican challengers, fully 45 percent came from unreliable outlets.
This makes sense. The way to get ahead in Trump’s GOP — the way to win an open-seat primary or to oust a Republican incumbent — is to push the boundaries of flimflam ever further. Republicans are caught in a vicious cycle: By discrediting the truth, they’ve created an incentive for each iteration of Republican challengers in each election cycle to distinguish themselves by embracing an even more sensational blend of falsehoods and conspiracy beliefs. It’s disinformation Darwinism: Falsify more, or fade away; become more outrageous, or perish. The ceiling of crazy in one cycle becomes the floor in the next.

^^^^^^^^
Interesting and bingo!

Heck, every single day dipshits such as Boebert tweet false or embellished shit and pass it off as being fact.

Here is a perfect example.


A. California may/will ban SALES of NEW cars (vehicles?) by/in 2035. Not all gas cars (vehicles?) will be banned in California by/in 2035.
B. California is "requesting" people don't charge their cars/vehicles during a 5 hour time window each day. Not 24 hours a day for the next week.

It asked them to not only avoid charging their electric cars between 4pm and 9pm but to "pre-cool" their homes (I assume that is so you can shut off your A/C during the window) and avoid using any major appliances between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m.

But yeah, idiots being idiots trying to make Dem policies look idiotic is peak GOP behavior.
