“Republicans have run into a ditch,” writes MollyJongFast. “They’ve taken up an agenda that actively targets fellow Americans, inflicting real harm on communities with race-baiting tactics and onerous health restrictions.”
—is like cyanide to the more normal swing-ish voters whom Republicans actually need to win elections. Last week Republicans committed a mélange of unforced errors, the reverberations of which will likely haunt them in 2024 and maybe beyond. While the base was delighted by these debacles, it’s hard to see how they encourage anyone who doesn’t identify as ultra MAGA.
To sum it all up quickly, in the last week, Tennessee state Republicans expelled two legislators for being involved in a gun control protest, a Trump-appointed judge in Texas halted the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of a leading abortion medication, and Republicans rushed to’s defense at his arrest and arraignment. All of these events were cases of the GOP’s leadership being unable or unwilling to control the basest aspects of the party.
