AFTER THE DEBATE FLOP, FRUSTRATED RINOS DOUBLE-DOWN

       Judging by the infuriated level of pro-Neocon trolls infesting nearly corner of social media this week, the less-than-stellar debate performance of the Republican figurehead must really have stung the True Believers deep. Opinion polls don't seem to have moved much one way or the other, except that the Republicans have lost a few more points here and there. Not even Elon Musk's topping Jeff Bezos in the Plutocracy's space-race generated much enthusiasm for the manly Alpha leaders on the New Right. In fact, two of their top spokesmen managed to alienate even more people including some of their remaining base as well as their new-found allies.

    Social Media influencer Laura Loomer, who has become of the Trump team's star advisers and strategists, started the ball rolling after a post which highlighted the flaws of the Harris Campaign with deeply reasoned and profound discourse of great importance to all of us who care about the serious issues facing America today.


      What really exorcised the True Believers about the reaction to this obviously very well-thought out cautionary dissertation on the grave dangers of a Kamala Harris victory was that a Conservative Congresswoman actually had the gall to question Ms. Laura's moral compass:




     Aghast at this flagrant breach of Party Discipline, Laura reacted with that characteristic tolerance so prevalent among the New Right these days:


       We'll let the readers judge for themselves the moral level of the New Right from that exchange. We will only say for now that Marjorie Taylor Greene is popular in the 'swing state' of Georgia; and after the RINOs already alienated many Georgian Conservatives---first by nominating a complete swine for Senate in 2022 who ended up losing to a weak Democrat---and then more recently throwing the popular Republican Governor Brian Kemp under the bus, the Party Establishment really can't afford too many more mistakes in that State.

     Meanwhile, JD Vance, who already fumbled by promoting an anti-immigrant rumor started by a Neo-Nazi group, showed his great brilliance again today explaining how badly he duped Kennedy supporters with promises of "ending the war in Ukraine in 24 hours." Vance accomplished this stupendous feat by blabbing to a podcaster what that plan actually consisted of.

    "To end the war, you need somebody that first of all people are terrified of," Vance pontificated“You need to be worried that if Donald Trump – or God forbid, Kamala Harris – says something, that they actually mean it. But you believe it with Donald Trump, you don’t believe that with Kamala Harris. That’s deterrence...I think that’s ultimately what this looks like because “they’re scared of Trump in Russia. They are worried about him in Europe, because he actually means what he says.”

    So what can we conclude from the remarks of Laura Loomer and JD Vance? You're with us, or you're against us; and if you're against us, fear will at least make you comply. Marjorie Taylor Greene is right: this isn't MAGA. It's Bush 3.0. 

    Let's stop deceiving ourselves on this point. These are the kinds of people, governed by these kinds of ideologies, which aspire to assume control of the US Government. We cannot afford to keep looking the other way at this. A decision has to be made: are we going to let this group hijack the Conservative Movement or are we going to stand up and say no?
