Are the Republicans trying to lose 2028?

 

Simple question with multiple answers.

First answer is they have completely lost touch with America? Everything they are doing as every pundit on the planet is acknowledging is not listening to the voters. They are doubling down on all their bad actions. We all see Miller as Chief of Staff; Hegseth not getting impeached, Blanche threatening Congress because they were told to lawyer up (which was kind of ignoramus to say because we all know the Democrats are going to investigate this Administration, yet they should be yelling at the rafters what policies they are going to legislate first, this is why they got elected, the corruption investigations are just part of the whole process) and electing Jim Jordan to eventually be minority leader because well it is Jim Jordan who might just make Mike Johnson look like a rational Speaker.

Second is they don’t care and think they can continue their march to totalitarianism for the next two years. Yet they still don’t know who follows Trump which is the big wild card in any action that tries to permanently instill MAGA.

Third is probably the most outlandish conceptually and that is they are playing some kind of weird long game. They will let the horrible tactics continue, lose in 2028 yet because things got extremely horrible there is no way the Democrats can clean up their mess that the Republicans can then blame the Democrats for everything to try again with all this madness in 2032. Again the who is after Trump question becomes important.

Fourth is they aren’t trying to lose, they just don’t know what else to do but to continue on this same disastrous course hoping all the voting blocs they lost in 2026 will come back to them in 2028. Which isn’t preposterous in their minds because they can blame the Democratic Congress for all their failures or at least that is what they think.

All in all the MAGA sycophant wing is still in charge of the party. I am not talking about the rank and file MAGA voters, they seemed to be trying to figure out where they stand. It is the Administration and all the enablers and billionaires that are still in charge. The old guard Republicans or the Reagan Republicans have pretty much been pushed aside at this point and it doesn’t look like in their old form they are making a comeback. There may be a splintering of the party, but how it splinters is still an open question.

So we, the American people, are still staring at a political nightmare and even worse a nightmare for our country until something truly changes. As you know I am not a fan of the Democrats being able to pull a rabbit out of a hat, yet right now we kind are hoping they do.

Or as always, we need new parties and especially a center to center right party just to actually do what Mike Johnson says we need: common sense government.
