Since the day Donald Trump came down that escalator in 2015, the MAGA movement has been engaged in a long-running, slow-rolling ideological and characterological transformation of the Republican Party. At each step, it has pushed Republicans further and further away from Reaganite conservatism. It has divorced Republican voters from any major consideration of character in leadership and all the while it has labeled people who resisted the change as “traitors.”
They’re fooling themselves—which is textbook conservatism. They want to make the GOP great again. But their description of the GOP today is the same as it ever was.
This guy is a liar himself, look how he distorts the evidence. For example: Trump is an awful human being and a terrible leader and I’d go as far as to say that his January 6th shenanigans were treasonous but to pin the rise in the murder rate on him and him alone seems to be a wilful neglect of the other circumstances. Covid isolated people within their own houses and there are a lot of guns in those houses as is outlined in one of the links in the article.
