The State of the Republican Party Post-2017

[Kamchastkia]

The State of the GOP is BAD.

-Thread ended, GOP ended, life continues.

That would be rather anticlimactic.

It's the proper way forward.

[Zurkerx]

Tax cuts + keeping current loopholes + not offering any tax relief for the working class, coupled with nowhere near enough cuts in spending = fiscal responsibility apparently.

I knew the GOP didn't believe in climate change, but I figured they at least believed in basic fucking accounting.

Deficit spending is the economics of today, on both sides.

Tis true on both accounts.

I dread what might come in its place.

Either the Republicans are replaced with a more moderate group or a radical proto-fascist party.

There is no inbetween if they collapsed today.

Or both parties form.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that's what would happen tbh.

1980: Cheap labor is good for the economy.
2000: America is a nation of immigrants.
2017: LOL white people ur all gonna disappear

Whites dying off is a good thing. Whites have stolen and enslaved all people and taken what wasn't theirs as their own inventions. Those freeloading bums deserve to disappear

So if we could somehow get people to outbreed muslims and africans out of the world that would be a good thing too?

Considering They are the only group still enslaving people on a pre-industrial level?

Hopefully we can kill that far-leftist party with a donkey with us.

So the RNC put support back behind Roy Moore, a credibly accused child molester.

It's like the Republicans are trying to lose any semblance of credibility that they have. And I was trying to have the party prove me wrong that they're anything but completely lost as a party right now.

I mean, Ted Kennedy left a woman to die after drunk-driving off a bridge. Bill Clinton has several credible accusations against him. No one's tried to remove Franken, and members of the senate actually testified in favor of Menedez during his ongoing trial for corruption.

It shouldn't surprise you that when one party gives their members the BOTD the other party is going to do the same if the balance of a legislative house is at risk.

Why not a good ol' Chesterbellocian distributist movement out of the Christian Right?

We need five parties.

The Liberal Party (Obama, Clinton, Biden types)
The Conservative Party (Bush, Kasich, Rubio types)
The Progressive Party (Sanders, Warren types)
The America First Party (Trump, Huckabee types)
The Tea Party (Cruz, Paul types)

There's no good place for Chesterbellocian Lewisite Tolkienist Inkling Distributists in those five, though.

I got lost on the first word.

The GOP will live forever because it is a tribal federation. So long as it federates many virtuous tribes it will last to oppose the warlock-using devils of the Blue Horde

That depends. Is it voluntary?

We shall rise from the Grand Old Party to the Eternal Party.

Where would the Libertarians and the Greens fit in your five-party system?

Libertarians would probably be split between Conservatives, Tea, and AF, Greens would probs be mostly PP and some Liberals.

I like this, tbh, but I'm not sure I'd lump Paul in with Cruz. Paul is more about fiscal stuff, Cruz is all about Jesus. I'd throw Cruz, Pence, and Huckabee into a more evangelical religious-focused conservative party, and Trump and Paul and others into a more socially liberal conservative party (although tbh the rift between the libertarians like Paul and the Trump people who want to spend zillions on walls and military and whatnot might be big enough that that party would have to split).

This is a good start though.

In terms of which party platforms would attract third party members, I would've actually split the Libertarians into Liberal, Conservative, and Tea Party and the Greens into Progressive, America First, and maybe Liberal.

Trump and Paul? What the heck do they have in common, besides disestablishmentarianism?

Yeah, Libertarians would never go into America First. America First requires way too much authoritarianism to work "properly."

The GOP will live forever because it is a tribal federation. So long as it federates many virtuous tribes it will last to oppose the warlock-using devils of the Blue Horde

While I agree with the "adapt or die" mentality, I don't know if that will endure forever in the GOP specifically. There may be a new party eventually that takes the place of the GOP.

Im sorry to say i don't think thats accurate. Republicans fall in line like sheep and will crawl over broken glass to vote. Anyone with R next to their name will be voted for in some areas. Alabama on Tuesday will be a test of that.
