The two-week temporary ceasefire has done little to quell GOP fears about the war in Iran costing the party seats in November.
Republicans are relieved over Trump’s steps toward reconciliation in Iran — but they worry the measures are too little, too late to save them from a brutal midterm election cycle.
Behind the public celebration by many Republicans of the temporary two-week ceasefire announcement, longtime party operatives continue to warn of a bleak political reality as the cost-of-living concerns around the war including spiking gas prices that are likely to continue for weeks if not longer even if the fragile ceasefire holds.
A person close to the White House, granted anonymity to speak candidly, put it bluntly.
“This war in Iran almost cements the fact that we lose the midterms in November — the Senate and House,” the person said.
I agree 100%, and here’s how we can realistically accomplish it:
First, we have to make everybody understand that the Republican Party is already dead. That was just the larval stage, before they morphed into their final form - MAGA. Republicans don’t exist any more, they are as dead as the Whigs, and should only be referred to in historical, scholarly contexts. ALL Republicans are MAGAs now.
The next step requires fighting hard enough, viciously enough, that the Dems take back ALL the power, all three branches. As low as they are now, all those things are actually easily within their reach within the next 5-6 years. MAGA is virtuosically incompetent, and are doing their very best to hand over the entire government to the Dems. All the Dems have to do is get out of the way, and accept it.
Once they’ve accomplished the taking back of the government, America will have to undergo a massive recovery effort, to rebuild the damage that MAGA will leave in its wake, not just in America, but in the places around the world that we have destroyed.
We can never go back to where we were, and too much institutional knowledge knowledge will be lost, but that presents us with a rare challenge in America, the the opportunity to rebuild our society. We did a terrible job after the Civil War, and now we are dealing with that long festering wound. We either have to finally heal it, or hack off the limb, but we can’t allow it to continue to rot, and poison the rest of our system. That starts with wide-spread investigations into EVERY instance of MAGA corruption, with indictments, prosecutions, and prison sentences.
It will be absolutely IMPERATIVE to officially declare MAGA to be a genuine National Security Threat, and abolish them, and prohibit them from existing in any form. They launched a violent Insurrection, stole hundreds of classified documents, election manipulation/fraud, war profiteering, market manipulation, insider trading, war crimes, bribery, treason, obstruction of justice, conspiracy, PEDOPHILIA, and much, much more. It is no exaggeration at all to say that they have openly committed numerous high crimes directly in front of the entire world, with absolutely no remorse. They still.our country in a rigged election, and proceeded to wreck the entire world. They aren’t just a threat, they are an ongoing international criminal enterprise, they danger to America and the world is PROVEN.
As a National Security Threat, we can prohibit them from existing, and arrest anyone who attempts to organize under the MAGA banner. And since Republicans became MAGA, there won’t be any Republicans either. It will be illegal. We will reinforce that with a Federal Educational Curriculum that emphasizes Critical Thinking Skills, and a history curriculum that acknowledges the stains of slavery and the Native American Genocide, and teaches young citizens how to recognize and avoid propaganda and attempts at political recruitment and indoctrination.
That will require EXTREMELY strong, committed, courageous leadership, which the current MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries does not possess. In fact, it would not be surprising if future investigations discover that both of those weak-ass losers were on the MAGA payroll. We are in unprecedented times, and the fight, and the aftermath, will require unprecedented solutions. Insipid politicians who only want to continue with business as usual need to be replaced with those who are enthusiastic about crushing the treasonous MAGA threat, and rebuilding an America that works for all of us, and not the wealthy.
There is a LOT more that needs to be done, like enlarging the Supreme Court, and codifying a lot of important government anti-corruption policies and limitations, but this was just about how to get rid of MAGA, and thus, the Republican Party.
