It's almost like it barely changes regardless of who the president is.

GOP Sen. Josh Hawley wrote a column in defense of militia members in the wake of Oklahoma City bombing when he was 15

Neat.

I wrote a paper for my history class defending the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the same age. Dumb kids are gonna say dumb things and everyone should be given a chance to grow up and learn from their mistakes. The problem with him, at least, is that he doesn't seem particularly interested or capable in the latter.

MAGA party? 

Well, I think hobnailed jackboots and armbands would be a GREAT start!

Biden wasn't even mentioned in the meme. You definitely have a moderate to severe case of BDS.

Sure. You didn't grow up to raise a high profile objection against a democratically elected president on dubious grounds.

Another seat for Dems to target in 2022. 

OH may be too far gone at this point. Not really a battleground anymore.

But there's a lot of crazy people in Ohio too. The Senate seat could just as easy go to Gym Jordan or some other nutso MAGA-party guy....It seems the radicalization of GOP continues, as moderates go by the wayside. Curious timing to announce retirement, a whole 2 years before the election. 

I agree with you. Ohio in the last ten years went from a bellwether purple state to a deep red state. It’s pretty much Arkansas at this point.

If only we created a one world globalist government we could end abortion!

Since @Gannan is killing this thread like OAN covers a trump insurrection... Lets change the topic.

As a proud Gun owner, why ... after 30+ years of increased gun rights... minus trumps ban on bumpstocks... are nut jobs buying up all the ammo in fear? Is the Republican base going to ever figure out this is a scare tactic by republicans? I mean... more guns and ammo have been bought and sold under Obama and pre-Biden than can be distributed to stores. Meanwhile, trump put in place more gun restrictions than both combined.
 

I mean... overturning the 2nd amendment is more difficult than overturning roe vs wade... and as you can see... here in the real world... that hasn’t happened yet.

If a political parties strategic plan is to keep the truth from their voters, they should be eliminated. I’m not a fan of that, I prefer MORE parties/candidates to choose from.

To inspire more debate:

Is the Republican Party going to stop lying to their voters and save the party?
 

I don’t want the democrats to run away unchecked either...

I know you wanted a thoughtful answer full of well articulated arguments, but the real answer is much simpler than that.

They are morons. 

"What's next for the Republican Party?"

Well if no one else is gonna post it, I guess I have to:

 

Our latest POLITICO-Morning Consult poll has fresh data that underscores what McConnell faced:

— Over half of Republican voters (56%) believe that Trump should either probably or definitely run for president again in 2024. Just over a third of Republican voters (36%) think he probably or definitely should not.

— Republicans and Republican-leaning independent voters are closely split between the Republican Party and the notional Patriot Party that Trump recently floated. A third (33%) said they are more interested in being a member of the Republican Party, and 30% said they would be more interested in being a member of the Patriot Party. A small share (11%) expressed interest in neither party.
