Conservative Columnist Hammers GOP As ‘Stupid-And-Proud-Of-It-Party’
Max Boot reality-checked Republicans with what their party has become.
Is there a purer, more perfect expression of the Trumpified Republican Party than the press release that Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) sent out on Sept. 24?
It demanded that President Biden be removed from office for “colluding with the Taliban.” This was flagrantly hypocritical because in February she criticized Biden for not withdrawing from Afghanistan fast enough — and then in August she praised the Taliban for “building back better.” But what truly made the release so priceless and preposterous was the logo: “IMEACH BIDEN.” Boebert is showing her contempt not just for political norms but for spelling norms, too.
No one should be surprised that Boebert, who has expressed support for the QAnon cult as well as Biden’s impeachment, is a rising star on the right. Former president Donald Trump’s Twitter feed — back when he still had one — was rife with glaring misspellings as well as absurd lies. Some even suspected the misspellings were deliberate — intended to signal his contempt for eggheads who might care about such niceties.
In the 1980s, when I became a Republican, the GOP took pride in describing itself as the “party of ideas.” But under Trump’s leadership, Republicans have reclaimed their old reputation, dating back to the 1950s, as the “stupid party.” What’s even more telling: This is not a source of shame or embarrassment for the party’s populists. They’re the stupid-and-proud-of-it party.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) responded to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) criticism of a mask mandate by saying, “He’s such a moron.” My brilliant colleague Dana Milbank carefully examined this charge and concluded it was “mostly true.” Yet McCarthy is a veritable brainiac compared with many of his GOP colleagues.
On July 30, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) praised Medicare and Medicaid for protecting “the healthcare of millions of families” and warned: “To safeguard our future, we must reject Socialist healthcare schemes.” Somehow Republicans miss the obvious contradiction between defending Medicare/Medicaid and assailing socialized medicine.
That Stefanik is a Harvard graduate suggests she may only be playing dumb to establish her populist bona fides. This is a charade perfected by Sen. John Neely Kennedy (R.-La.), a graduate of Vanderbilt University, Oxford University and the University of Virginia Law School who pretends to be a country bumpkin. But it tells you something significant that even the brightest lights of the GOP feel compelled to act as if they were dim bulbs.
For some Republicans in Congress, of course, acting dumb comes more naturally than for others. Take Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Tex.) — please. He warns that the Green New Deal, which hasn’t actually passed, is already ushering in an avian apocalypse. Birds that aren’t killed by windmills, he said, are spontaneously combusting while flying over solar panels. He acts as if “flamers” — yes, that’s the term he uses — are actually a big thing. In fact, fossil fuel plants kill many more birds — and people — than solar arrays. Little wonder that, as Gohmert himself admitted, people think he is “the dumbest guy in Congress.”
Hold my dunce cap, says Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.). She doesn’t believe in evolution but does believe in Jewish space lasers. Then there’s Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.), who tweets that “1984 is a great fiction novel to read.” As opposed to a great nonfiction novel?
The covid pandemic has brought forth a corresponding pandemic of right-wing inanity. Greene and other Republicans have compared efforts to vaccinate Americans — i.e., to save lives — to the Nazis’ mass murder of Jews. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said he would support vaccine mandates only if “there’s some incredibly dangerous disease.” Covid-19, which has already killed at least 700,000 Americans, doesn’t qualify. Johnson just introduced the Prevent Unconstitutional Vaccine Mandates for Interstate Commerce Act. This raises the obvious question (obvious, that is, to everyone but Johnson): If mandates are unconstitutional, why is legislation needed to stop them? Won’t the courts overturn them?
More egregious examples of Republican ignorance can be found in all their accusations that Democrats are turning America socialist. “They’re forcing their communism through the corporations,” Greene charges, as if “communist corporations” weren’t an oxymoron. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) warns that a “socialistic government” won’t “allow women … to be on stage, or entertain.” She seems to have confused the communists with the Taliban. Meanwhile, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is upping the rhetorical ante. “The $3.5 trillion Biden plan isn’t socialism, it’s marxism,” he tweets. By his logic, we should already have gulags in America since Trump added $7.8 trillion to the national debt.
I wish I could report some sign that the GOP is wising up. In fact, it is continuing to dumb itself down. Josh Mandel, who is seeking the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate in Ohio, recently tweeted: “You can’t spell panDEMic without ‘DEM.’ Is this a coincidence?” That is a level of reasoning that would seem more at home on an elementary school playground than on the floor of the Senate. But Mandel should fit right in with his Republican colleagues if he is elected. They “imeach” themselves with every witless word.

Or your typical Biden voter.
MAGA was what Trump's campaign slogan was and it got mixed reviews. Now Biden's Build Back Better had most people thinking it meant start where Trump left off and improve. It sure has not shown any signs of that happening. Now in the passed the liberal Democrats on Yappi have claimed that everything Trump did while in office was just to make he and his family richer and that he really was not thinking or doing what was best for the nation. I just spent the last few minutes trying to find those posts and naturally I could not find them when I so badly wanted to. So with out the quotes HERE IT IS PEOPLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! The truth of Trumps wealth making while President has come out. For the first time in 25 years Trump did not make Forbes 400 list of America's richest people. He came up 400 million short. I really think a apology is in order form the many liberal Democrats on this site that accused Trump of only thinking of himself and his family during his time in office. I'll wait but not hold my breath.

So we should apologize because Trump had to spend a ton of money paying lawyers to push the big lie? Just because Trump is bad with his money doesn’t mean it is “Liberal Democrats” fault. He brought this all on himself.

Bankrupting casinos takes a special financial acumen . Trump was born on third base rounding home and never made it to home plate. Not one iota self made , but you have MAGA worshippers thinking he’s Mike Bloomberg or Warren Buffett . You know guys who didn’t file for bankruptcy left and right or at all . Sharp self made business men . Not conmen .

You did not even read what I reported did you? This is the first time in twenty five years Trump did not make Forbes 400 list and I have not heard of anything Trump now owns going bankrupt. You do know he is still worth billions and that means more than one. You also know that even though he inherited quite a bit of money he is still has much more than he started with.
I willing to bet the cost of lawyers did not even put a little dent in Trumps bottom line. Do you know how much money billions are? Not thousands, not millions we are talking billions here. The only people that think billions are nothing is the federal govt.

Trump never had a single billion much less “billions”.
Considering I have lost a young child tragically, there is nothing a politician, neighbor or internet fool like yourself could say that would hurt me more than the loss I suffered.
I care about their words even less than I do yours.
I can't imagine getting upset over some dimwits conspiracy theories.
