Oh, the concern trolling!
Few things drip with more insincerity than overwrought lamentations in the mainstream media about the future of the Republican Party. Every denizen of the Coastal Media Bubble™ would love nothing better than to see the GOP disappear from the face of the Earth overnight.
Faux concern for the fate and state of the Grand Old Party predates Donald Trump’s rise to the top of it. It is, however, yet another emotional thing that has intensified in the Trump era.
Before we get into a couple of recent examples, I would like to remind everyone that — according to the hacks in the MSM — the Republicans are always on the brink of an epic internal battle for the soul of the party. It’s a Dem PSYOP designed to take advantage of the fact that Republicans aren’t a hive mind like they are and foment unrest. Two prominent Beltway Democrats could literally be at each other’s throats and The New York Times wouldn’t have anything to say about it. However, if two Republicans go to lunch in Washington and order different things, the headlines scream, “REPUBLICAN CIVIL WAR.”
Now that we’ve all had our grain of salt, let’s look at a couple of eyeroll-inducing things I’ve read in the last several days.
On Sunday, the “1 big thing” section of the Axios Sneak Peek newsletter examined what happens
“If Trump loses.” This is rich:
An identity crisis. A brutal power struggle. Years in the wilderness.
- If Trump is defeated in next month’s election, the Republican Party will face a reckoning unprecedented in modern political history.
Why it matters: Never before has a party’s identity been so deeply entwined with the fate, fortunes and flaws of one man.
- Four consecutive poor election cycles would unleash a wave of sustained scrutiny that the GOP, as it currently exists, may not survive.
Unlike the 20-something (he might be 30 now) kid who writes Sneak Peek, I distinctly remember voting in the 1984 election. I can assure anyone who doesn’t that the Republican Party’s identity was “deeply entwined” with all things Ronald Reagan.
This is what happens when “journalists” go straight from Chuck E. Cheese to being paid for perspective-free opinions.
The “poor election cycles” had more to do with an unfortunate combination of a COVID-19 and Ronna McDaniel, although Trump did play a part in keeping McDaniel around too long.
I do agree with Snotnose McBias that the GOP may not survive a Trump loss, but that’s because Kamala Harris will make sure that the United States as we know it no longer exists if she’s elected president…
