It's time......to rename the Republican Party

[Evangelicalhumanist]

Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, and second in line of succession to the Presidency, turned up outside the courthouse in New York where Trump's trial is ongoing, to call it an illegitmate sham trial and entirely political. Outside the New York courthouse, he decried “this ridiculous prosecution that is not about justice.” He said, “It’s all about politics.”

Is it not time to retire the name "Republican Party" and replace it with a more honest "Trumplican Toadies."

It's past time to rebuild the Republican Party. I didn't think they could get more ridiculous, but they've sure enough proved me wrong!

I know that you completely ignore history (when it doesn't suit your purposes), but the fact is, the parties very much reversed what they stood for long ago. Yes, Lincoln was a Republican -- but he wouldn't recognize his party at the beginning of the 21st century. He would identify with today's Democrats. And the party under Trump doesn't even resemble that any more. It is something 100% new, and 100% devoted to the rule of one man.

The Southern Democrats died out long ago and many Republicans took up the banner, or didn't you notice in Charlottesville and in DC on Jan. 6th?

Yet they still use the name Democrat for their party.

They will Advocate tearing down Confederate statues, ban the Confederate flag, but still keep their Confederate name.
Very Very telling.

Not unlike the name Republican which doesn't have a very controversial history that would warrant a name change.

Too bad you completely ignore the facts.

The racism follows the ideology of the supporters, not the party. In this case, the racism went where the conservative culture went.

The Republican Party has Trump instead of principles.

That's because it was a progressive/liberal party in the Abraham Lincoln days. Lincoln wasn't a conservative.

A Republican warning of national political suicide | Editorial

Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, a Republican, says he’ll vote for Democrat Joe Biden for President, because Donald Trump cannot be trusted. More Republicans should follow Duncan’s…

www.sun-sentinel.com

Donald Trump has transformed virtually the entire Republican Party into a personality cult, rather than the responsible instrument of principles and policy that it once was.

Only he matters. He jokes about being a dictator if he’s elected again “but only on Day One.”

Trump has not only survived, but prospered from a torrent of personal, commercial and political scandals, any one of which would have destroyed anyone else’s political career. It’s a damning indictment of America.
...
If Ryan thinks Trump lacks the character to be president, he should help elect Biden — and hope, as Duncan does, for a Republican Congress to keep him in check.

He should remember what retired Gen. John Kelly, one of Trump’s former chiefs of staff, said of him: “The depth of his dishonesty is just astounding to me. … He is the most flawed person I have ever met in my life.”

Long before that terrible day in Jonestown, Jim Jones had cult members rehearse how they would drink a poisoned beverage to commit what he called “revolutionary suicide,” a term he didn’t invent.

It is no exaggeration to say that America could commit revolutionary suicide on Nov. 5. Geoff Duncan has told us how to avoid it.

Seems there are still plenty of racist Democrats to go around as much as racist Republicans.

There you go again! One, singular, vaguely topical example -- a singularity -- which you then use to tar 38% of America!.

Sorry if you don't like the presented facts as they stand.

Sorry if you don't like the presented facts as they stand.

One fact does not a trend make! I have never, ever given one instance of some person of whatever party, race, colour, religion or what-have-you, and use that as an example to state that said instance must therefore apply to others of the same party, race, colour, religion, etc.

You used ONE EXAMPLE to conclude "Seems there are still plenty of racist Democrats ..."

And then we have 3 prominent retired Republican Senators.

Between Trump and Biden, what should real Republicans do?​

"How Republicans should think about 2024 and beyond.
We three former senators, all Republicans, will not presume to tell these people what to do on Nov. 5. What we do want to offer, however, is a framework for thinking about the decision and for helping to secure America’s future beyond 2024, no matter what happens on Election Day.

We believe that our nation’s well-being depends on having the positive, stabilizing influence of a healthy, two-party system, which we currently do not have; and that one of those parties must reflect the traditional Republicanism which we embraced in our decades of public service.


Recently it has become popular to assert that this traditional brand of Republicanism is dead, replaced by a new populist, radical version. We disagree. In our view, traditional Republicanism, though currently in eclipse, is no more extinct than the sun was over portions of the country on April 8. And all of us who believe in it must do what we can to ensure its expeditious return. "

And so forth, I wish them well as should we all.

Sadly, that's only three. The horde of Republicans that showed up in front of the court in NY today were there for one reason -- and one reason only: to prove (to DJT himself, and nobody else) that they were "loyal supporters."

Oh, and perhaps to be chosen as running mate.

Yup, democrats have changed their attitudes and become champions for the prejudiced and hated, and the republicans have taken on the attitude of racism and prejudice against anyone that democrats support. It’s a pity the republicans of the 70’s don’t exist anymore. They actually advocated for women’s reproductive rights and
Medicaid.
