Arizona GOP Censures Bowers After His Jan. 6 Testimony, Claims It’s About Legislation

Whether we’re dealing with religious fanaticism or with Stalinist ideology (which are basically the same thing), the most dangerous enemy is not the heathen, the capitalist, the outsider.

No, it’s always the insider who becomes a heretic, the Communist Party insider who becomes a secret capitalist roader.

The behavior of the Arizona GOP is fully consistent with the Inquisition or the Stalinist show trials – or the attacks on the ex-Scientologist exposing Scientology.

I need a definition of the word ‘meaningful’. I have a feeling theirs is different then yours or mine.

I decided I should check… everyone, including me says “cult”, but is it really? Does the word fit? Not just intuitively, I mean, but by definition?

I found this:

So, yes. I feel quite confident now in saying: Folks, the GOP is a cult. It’s a damned, motherfscking cult.

Yeah, they’re going to keep playing that tune for as long as it brings votes and dough.

In today’s Arizona GOP Darwin’s “Survival of the fittest” has become “Survival of the most corrupt.”

Competence and integrity have become disqualifying for a candidate in that group.

We could call the GOP a cult. That said I am leaning more towards calling them an insurgency group, or at least a would-be insurgency group.

As insurgents, they require clarity on who is on their side and take considerable efforts on drawing the line between the ins and outs. That requires constant new “purity tests” that do not make any particular sense.

From that perspective, the purity test for Bowers makes more sense than some others.

It’s remarkable how quickly and how ferociously they turn on one of their own.
Yeah, not a cult AT ALL… :roll_eyes:

Check. You can’t be a Republican if you follow the law. Long suspected, now confirmed.

Yes, they do. It has three planks:

  1. Lie to win.
  2. Cheat to win.
  3. Grift to win.

Chemtrail Kelli could plausibly be charged with witness tampering for this stupid stunt.

See subsections (d) and (f)(1).

Religion has always been a cult populated by weak-minded fanatics. Trump is just their new fat calf.

Pick Texas.

My first choice as well. It’s as if Gov Abbott really does want to inflict pain on the citizens of TX even when they have a legitimate complaint. Its like he’s spiteful. Grid shuts down, it’s their fault.
