GOP, Democrats, same power seekers, though the GOP may be even less principled
/The Lincoln Project, a band of pseudo-conservatives seeking a return to power, is pouring millions of dollars in senate races to switch the majority back to the Democrats. These aren’t just Never-Trumpers, mind you, they’re going after moderate Republicans too: they’ve even targeted Maine’s Susan Collins, to the tune of a million dollars so far, and counting. And Collins is just on of ten Republican senators they’re determined to defeat. So determined, they’ve even contributed $750,000 to the Democratic party itself. And they call themselves Republicans.
Stephen Kruiser sums them up nicely: Never Trumpers Leg-Hump Every Leftist Narrative Just to Make Friends
We’re on a journey today to the not-too-distant past. A past when moderate squish Republicans could play nice with real conservatives just to thwart the Democrats.
A time, my friends, before Never Trump.
Yes, it was a brief union. When the Tea Party movement was started by real conservatives, its success made it attractive to a host of moderate Republican grifters who wanted to hang out with us because we threw better parties. Grifters who would one day self-identify as “Never Trump.”
A sad little group, the Never-Trump kids are. They go through life balling their fists, stomping their feet, and being mad at all the wrong things. They turn on their friends to hang out with the kids who they’ve ridiculously misidentified as the popular crowd.
Never Trump began in 2016 when a bunch of pasty and doughy Republican soy boys realized they weren’t ever going to get anyone to clap for Jeb! Bush. Their original intention was to derail any hope of Donald Trump getting elected. They were aiding and abetting the Hillary Clinton campaign and they were doing it under the false pretense of being principled.
In reality, the Never-Trump crowd is one of the least principled groups in the history of American politics, which is a truly bottom-feeding feat. They’re all about the money, and they are making piles of it because there is a lot of gold in them thar turncoat hills.
.…As we get closer to the election all of the Never-Trump types will be abasing themselves at the feet of their leftist masters in the hope of a higher place in the new kingdom.
