Where is the Republican Party going?

Over a cliff. That is what some people think.

Everything they are doing smells of National Socialism. 

Which is a crock pot full of: far-right, totalitarian, deeply racist political thinking, extreme ultranationalism, virulent antisemitism, anti-communism, and social Darwinism, aiming to build a racially pure community.

Don't believe it?

The Republican Party of Nixon, Reagan, Bush and others who followed them were advocates of limited government and individualism. In other words, less government interference. What happened? Donald Trump happened and even he does not know why or what to do about.

Suddenly faced with a real job, he had to react and come up with a plan. He had always envied the power and control of dictators and despots and for him it was as close to the way he operated his businesses as he could get. What a great idea. Copy them. And here we are in the shadow of Trumpism and Millerism. Trump and Miller are having the time of their lives. They can jump up on the world stage in front of the footlights and make complete asses of themselves while their acolytes applaud and genuflect before them.

What is alarming is seemingly intelligent peope like Marco Rubio are tripping along behind them picking up the stench of the skid marks these two morons leave in their wake. Does Rubio really believe what he is being told to say by Miller? If he does, he is culpable too.

The Republican Party has experienced a notable shift in its ideology influenced by the rise of populism, changing demographics, and the impact of social media on political discussion. The arrival of Donald Trump redefined the party's base. His seeming embrace of white supremacy and the addition of Stephen Miller to his circle exemplify his acceptance of the radical right philosphies. The new base of voters prioritize issues such as nationalism, immigration reform, and economic protectionism over traditional conservative principles like free trade and limited government.

This new definition of the Republican Party faces the critical task of reconciling the new populist ideals with its established conservative values. They are struggling with this new identity. Will it continue to embrace the populist rhetoric or will it return to its more traditional conservative roots?

The Republican Party has to consider the broader political landscape, including the shifting demographics of the American electorate. As the nation becomes increasingly diverse, their strategies for outreach with minority communities will be decisive.

This will involve rethinking its policies on issues such as immigration, healthcare, and education to better resonate with a changing population that is looking for representation and solutions that reflect their needs and values.

The Republican Party is likely to face huge challenges in upcoming elections, particularly as it seeks to maintain its influence in both Congress and state legislatures. Will Trumps and Millers actions and policies sour the electorate on what they had expectations of. Did the people who elected him really understand what they were getting when he came to power?

They had been warned of his authoritarian tendancies. But, he still has a following. Is it a cult following, or are the numbers reflected in terms of those who are influenced by his policies that benefit them financially? In other words is he supported by wall street and a few remaining crazy cult followers who are uniformed and listen to FOX News and now CBS News.

The stakes are high, as the outcomes of these elections will not only determine political power but also long-term viability in a rapidly changing political environment. And the influence of people like Bari Weiss who believes her own editorials that she is the influencer and chief do not help the American people. She is the legend in her own mind.

It is so obvious when the new billionaire owners of CBS News gave the gavel for the CBS News division to an over excited teeny bopper that they were more interested in close surveillance of someone and cloning FOX News than providing professional disbursement of real news and information to their fellow Americans.

The future direction of the Republican Party is uncertain and will depend on how it navigates its internal divisions and responds to the evolving priorities of the American people. The direction that Donald Trump and Stephen Miller are intent on is a remake of Thelma and Louise. Just like in the movie, everyone hold hands, close your eyes and smile.

That's the fact Jack!

Think about it and be sure to VOTE!
