The Party Formerly Known as Republican
We have seen signs of this since Trump secured the nomination in 2016.
The revised positions and enabling of Senators Graham and McConnell, and all the others like them are indeed the latest steps on a march toward hypocrisy and the destruction of ideas and discourse.
The recently announced and revised positions on the Supreme Court Nomination, by most of the Senate Republicans, are only the latest demonstration of devolvement.
These latest public prostrations confirm in many ways the final dissolving of the Republican Party.
Now in so many unspoken ways the Republican Party is dissolved and transitioned to the Dear-Leader-Party, (DLP).
Consider this. There was no party platform created by the DLP at the “Republican Convention” in 2020.
For the first time, there was a decision to not create a party platform to stand as a statement of principles or direction.
You may or may not have known there was such a thing as a party platform. You may ask, why is it important.
Even if mostly symbolic, the building of party platforms was discussion and debate based on the ideas and principles of party leaders from around the country. A great many were often not holders of elected office.
