“God Awakened Me”
It couldn’t happen to a nicer person, but reading how Ronna McDaniel (let us never forget how Trump forced her to drop the Romney from her name) has lost control of the Republican National Committee because Republicans are insane is quite the thing.
The alternative event points to larger unrest within the party, as national lawmakers worry that their failure to follow through on campaign promises will doom them this election. In October, the GOP witnessed its House representatives cannibalize their own leader for the first time in U.S. history, ousting former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in a coup led by just eight members of the party.
The ensuing madness, seeded, stoked, and fueled by Trump, has amounted to a complete divide in the Republican Party, with some members disavowing the formal platform entirely.
“I used to be the establishment when I first got started in politics,” Fanchon Blythe, the RNC committeewoman from Nebraska, told Steve Bannon’s War Room. “But God awakened me.”
Turning Point spokesman Andrew Kolvet told Breitbart News that the impetus for the alternative event was due to “overwhelming demand” from conservatives who were allegedly turning to Kirk and his co-organizer, Tyler Bowyer, for answers.
“How many hundreds of phone calls does Tyler have to take before he’s like, ‘OK, I guess we have to get the band together? I guess we have to do this thing because everyone’s telling me there’s this huge problem.’ The way we see it is people need this,” Kolvet told the far-right publication.
The RNC is meeting behind closed doors this week, after McDaniel’s plan to make Trump the party’s presumptive nominee crumbled due to Republican outrage, reported the Associated Press. Even Trump declared it was too soon to rule Nikki Haley out.
“While they have far more votes than necessary to do it, I feel, for the sake of PARTY UNITY, that they should NOT go forward with this plan,” Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social.
I mean, I want it all to burn to the ground. But the problem for liberals generally is that we actually want a functioning society that does in fact require a second political party that is not batshit insane. We do not have that second political party right now and I see no evidence of it coming back anytime soon. So I guess we can pop some popcorn (extra butter for me please) and watch them self-immolate, but given how many voters are morons and just don’t pay attention until 3 seconds before they vote, it’s really bad for the country.
