He finally found out that there is no conservative audience outside of Trumpturdia.

The Republican Party and the conservative movement have been intellectually bankrupt for years, indeed, decades. Why, then, is this a surprise?

Eric the Red . . . . .is a red to the core. This is not news. He’s got a business to run and that is where his customers are.

Put that fat traitor on the Enemies of the People list…along with the other sub human parasites who call themselves Republicans. Hope he gets hit by a bus. Twice.

ā€œDemocrats ā€˜think children can be killed at birth, Christians should be removed from policy making positions, and the economy should be bankrupted to implement environmental policies that will not actually mitigate climate change’.ā€

Bravely leading the chickenhawk charge into battle against wave after wave of oncoming strawmen.

There is actually some merit in the sellout. The shit is about to hit the fan and the Trumpists are going to need all the help they can get, so having been never-Trumper defending the Dotard adds some value: ā€œEven Never-trumpers think the witch hunt is way unfair!!!ā€.

There is no such thing as ā€œprincipled conservativesā€ and there is certainly no audience for them, so they all have been coming around the realization that they are going to sink with the Trump ship weather they support him or not, so they might as well get their pails and start bailing the water.

ā€œIf I was wrong about the election, I am willing to admit I can be wrong about Donald Trump,ā€ Erickson wrote in The New York Times, though he added in a warning: ā€œJustifying sin in the acquisition of power is the very thing the Old Testament shows will lead to the downfall of faith communities.ā€

What a fucking oblivious afterthought!

After Reagan and G. W. Bush and a host of awful sins that they have never really had to pay any consequence for, they really think they are immune. I hope we prove them wrong, and fairly soon.

Perhaps Erick, Son Of Erick! would have been wise to check and see if they finished running the railroad tracks before he jumped on that particular train. But then, Erick ain’t exactly MacArthur Genius Grant material. He’s not even Highlights Magazine material.

Is anyone here surprised about this?

'Cause I sure am not.

I’m all for this, as it will make it much harder for future Republicans to pretend that Trump was an aberration. Trump is, for all intents and purposes, the Republican Party.
