Quo Vadis GOP?

[Josquius]

I've heard this trite from baby fascists before.
It's weird how they have built up this idea that they aren't actually that far right it's just the world is super far left.
It's just....Wut? This world? The Conservative dominated one? Really?

Interesting that they are learning from the left in putting their energy towards attacking the right though. That bodes well. I like this.

   

Most New Right activists see the Trump presidency as a salutary development. At the very least, they view Trump's success as a symptomatic expression of the novel forces at work in American life. "I'm still lukewarm on Trump, the man," Hochman said. "I think he's a moronic boomer who tapped into something by accident." Saurabh Sharma, a 23-year-old New Right activist,

Incidentally it is weird the amount of people from minorities who seem to absorb this strain of idiocy.

It's been a theme on the American right - Buckley and Meyer etc reacting against the New Deal dominance and the American conservatives who were basically a bit more like British conservatives/Tory thought in their approach (trim the sails, adapt, Burke basically).

Having said it these guys don't think they are representing popular opinion and I think it's fair to say that if you're an integralist or looking at the Benedict option that the world, from your perspective, is pretty super far left

Also the energising force on the American right is culture and there has been a cultural revolution since the sixties on so many fronts and most people are part of/support that new settlement.

Meanwhile I get the sense that Democrats still don't just get this or how to fight/do politics

Because if you are a victim of persecution then all your failings are someone else' fault.

This is my routine reminder that you need to get involved ASAP in local politics. As well as prepare mentally for what you will do when the Republicans overthrow election results.

I shall redouble my efforts on behalf of the United Conservative Party of Alberta!

Anything you can do to salvage what you can from the moral bankruptcy of contemporary conservatism is appreciated.

So what sort of things should we be mentally preparing to do?  What exactly am I suppose to do in local politics?

[Eddie Teach]

Vote Raz for dogcatcher!

[Valmy]

Vote in local elections and stay informed on what is going on.

[Sheilbh]

I'd also look up activist groups in your area - personally probably mainly around voting rights because I think that's the particularly essential one.

of course.  The left is pure, even when corrupt, it will save us!

Long live King Justin the 1st!

Don't know to where the GOP is going, but it is currently in a quite disgusting spot.

The guy in the bottom left of the pic is a Republican congressman from Kentucky:

It is a festive family photo with seven broad smiles and a Christmas tree. But one other detail sets it apart: each member of the Massie family is brandishing a machine gun or military-style rifle.

The photo was tweeted last week by Thomas Massie, a Republican congressman from Kentucky, with the caption: "Merry Christmas! PS: Santa, please bring ammo."

Normal, very very normal.

That's the dude who called Kerry's Political Science degree "pseudoscience." 

Shelf:  what does looking up a voting rights activist group do?

So you can join them and get involved.

And then...profit?

Lead me through step by step how that makes a difference.
