It’s become yet another subsidiary of Trump Inc.
When historians chronicle the end of the Grand Old Party, they may mark 2024 as the turning point. Something called the Republican Party will surely exist for years to come, like a legacy brand subsumed by a competitor, but it appears to be coming to its end as a functional party. Instead, the Republican Party has become just another subsidiary of Donald Trump Inc.
Yesterday, Trump announced his effective takeover of the Republican National Committee, endorsing Michael Whatley, the chair of the North Carolina GOP, as chair; his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, as co-chair; and one of his top campaign advisers, Chris LaCivita, as chief operating officer. LaCivita will reportedly also remain with the Trump presidential campaign, splitting time. The current chair of the party, Ronna McDaniel, is stepping down because of pressure from Trump.
Officially, these are only recommendations, but they seem nearly certain to become reality.
Conservatism was literally created as a backlash against the democratic movements of the US and France.
Conserving the power of the rich, to create a new nobility.
Monarchy was always the end game.
They don’t know history. Never have. Reading and getting educated is something they think only simps do.
This is a dangerous lie. Sure, Trump doesn’t know history, and the people voting for him don’t know history, but Trump’s just a face. He’s not capable of coherent thought, let alone policy. The Heritage Foundation think-tank that drafted up Project 2025 though? They’re smart and evil. Don’t look at the gibbering idiot, keep your eyes on the puppeteer.
Your confusing those that yell about swamp people with the actual swamp people.
One flavor is loud, populist and brainless. The other is highly educated closed door nazi elites.
