Subject: A positive from Trump Loss
In the Tribal Divided America, I frankly have no idea who wins this week. (I know who loses ....and I know punishment prevails)
*BUT*
One good thing that might come out of it is it will start the process of the Abortion Taliban stuff being driven out of the Republican Party.
Is it a quick thing?
Is it a long drawn out fight where GOP loses a few cycles over it, or people staying home? OR in that drawn out fight does the Abortion Taliban go 3rd party a few times?
I don't know.
BUT just as I've said to the Left many times: Winning 2% elections - all it means is satisfaction for you, it means beating "them", but in the end you can't govern that much. DITTO the Right. Pro life isn't Taliban. Girls and women DYING is Taliban....rape victims forced to have babies, or tracking women's travels and periods - is Taliban.
IF we didn't have Taliban we'd increase our vote by 5%.... and we'd have more consensus and more governing mandate. Right now even if we win- look - we are less important anywhere from media to Wall Street to even defense companies. We'll be left with gun shows and trailer parks and disability collectors who shout 'get government off my back'. We'll be the new Housing Project one day - if you look at economic trends.
When Liberals do the they/them stuff. When they do the gender surgery for prisoners stuff - they lose the ability to govern.
Same for us - women dying, or rape victims not getting the rights.....is how we lose. OR it's how we win.....and squeak by just like the Left is hoping to squeak by this week.
