GOP WHOLLY SELLS OUT ON SOCIAL ISSUES

    So, only two days after the Bush-Machine funded Billionaires' Bash at Mar-a-Lago,---where a total of 117 attendees raised over $50 million for Republican electoral efforts---President-in-Exile Trump decided to 'clarify' his position on Abortion.

  “My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both." Trump said.  “And whatever they decide must be the law of the land. In this case, the law of the state. Many states will be different, many will have a different number of weeks, or some will have more conservative than others, and that’s what they will be.”

  That's generally the position of the Neocon Right. Predictably, the Controlled Opposition has been spinning the narrative assuring us all once again that we dutifully should hold our noses and vote Republican because the Democrats are so much worse. That, and the lives of the unborn in 'Blue States' don't matter since they'd just grow up and vote for Democrats anyway. As we all know, only Liberals ever get abortions and never based and Red-Pilled Conservatives, right? Not to mention the many GOP stakeholders in woke 'pro-Choice' Corporations whose commitment to profit is much higher than to principle.

  Not to be outdone, Melania Trump is hosting another gala fundraiser in Florida for the pro-homo 'equality' group the Log Cabin Republicans next week. As we predicted, the Republican campaign strategy in 2024 is an exact copy of what it was in 2000: "We can't win on social issues---the important thing is to vote out the Democrats who are weenies on National Security and the Economy!" Which translates now, as it did then, that the Military-Industrial Complex, the Police/Surveillance State, Corporate Control over the Economy can expand, while Americans can continue on in hedonism without being questioned about their assumed moral superiority. 


    Small donations to both parties (less than $200) are down in 2024 compared to 2016 and 2020 and polls show that voters dislike both candidates, but both parties are already raising record numbers of campaign cash: $192 billion for the DNC and about $93 billion for the RNC, which tells all that we need to know about whose interests are really at stake and whose aren't. The Abortion Industry itself is a multi-billion dollar enterprise---not counting the substantial rake-offs from trafficking in human fetal tissue and organ-harvesting. The Gay Mafia, too, is loaded with money. The Neocons aren't really concerned with all of this cash translating into votes: what it translates into electorally is the degree of support that the ruling Corporate Elites favor their candidates and see them as suitable for managing the United States for the benefit of the Corporate Agenda. The amount of cash both parties have heavily favors the Democrats right now; hence the urgency of the RNC to abandon populism and throw its support wholeheartedly behind the Corporate Autocracy.

   Sadly, though, the true believers are going to go on willfully blind to all of this, just as they did in 2000 and nearly every election since. It's equally sad that we have to keep reminding Christian Conservatives of this little detail here: but we are talking about the murder of children and warping the minds of the living ones with gender dysphoria. Neither even should be a debatable issue: but we're talking too about a constituency---and a culture generally---which values winning at all costs and padding that bottom line far more than it concerns itself with the value of a human life. Whatever the results of the 2024 Elections are, that attitude won't change, and we'll be ruled according to that attitude.
