Republicans Aren't Tired of Losing Yet
Bonchie


Remember the movie "Groundhog Day?" Starring Bill Murray, it told the story of a newscaster who was stuck in a time loop, waking up to the same song in the same small town, destined to relive the same day over and over.

But while Murray's character would eventually escape his fate, Republicans seem content to voluntarily keep doing the same things over and over, believing that if they just grit their teeth enough, it'll finally be different next time.

Think back to the day after the 2022 election. The GOP was predicted by essentially everyone to have a red wave, but in the end, it was a red trickle. Garnering only a four-seat majority in the House and actually losing ground in the Senate, it was one of the largest underperformances in recent memory when considering the timing and fundamentals at play.

The morning after, I penned a piece entitled "I'm Sick of Losing, I Hope You Are Too." In it, I detailed the stagnant nature of the GOP, including the fact that there's no accountability for the party's leadership.

What happened in 2022 and last night will be repeated in 2024 regardless who the GOP nominates

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Nope.  Republicans fail to realize that elections are popularity contests.  Taking things away from people is a losing strategy.

And that's how you end up tens of trillions in debt.

A citizenry that always takes and never gives will never take accountability when the resources run out.

As I stated, a failure of democracy. All it takes is to corrupt a plurality, and you're screwed.

No wonder my generation won't have kids. They want to make sure their bloodline doesn't have to deal with the consequences of their selfishness.

Only because Republicans let them be.  How nice it would be to have a Ben Shapiro type cut all that rhetoric off and redefine what the election is all about.  Republicans are cowards.

If that were the case, Trump would have won a landslide in 2020.  Because he ran up more debt in a 4 year period than any other President in US history, all for handouts.

   Just as the Whigs had to die to give birth to the Republican Party, and it was a painful birth.  So shall the Republican Party die to give birth to another Profound Idea keeping alive the notion that all Men are created Equal.

Yet the Democrats can somehow survive from the days of Jefferson and never die.
