The decline of the GOP and its moral rot is comprehensively addressed in Stuart Stevens book "It Was All a Lie".

At this precarious juncture, I'm grateful for any ally, whatever their history.

Even now, I don't think most people grasp the depth of the abyss we're facing.

Trump's hold on the general public is nothing more than a reaction to the unfettered corruption and sweeping overreach of the Liberal Governments around the world, who took liberties with human rights over every facet of their lives during the pandemic and in all other manufactured 'crisis'. The people have seen through the media fabricated narrative and are fighting back. It's as simple as a stock market correction. It's happening and it had to happen, because that's how human nature works.

This piece is an example of how to exacerbate the culture war.

It was going really well until we get to the "Lizzy Come Lately" section. Is it really necessary to address her in such a familiar and condescending manner? Perhaps this was an attempt at being cute. If so, it fails miserably. This is also a tactic Trump uses all the time - call his detractors names.

Further on in that section we come upon "(s)he was not above crude and dishonest smears..." Gun control is one of those issues where there are strong passions on both sides. You're never going to come to any kind of compromise or consensus if you stoop to calling sincerely held opinions on the other side "crude" and "dishonest." As a first step, you should assume those you disagree with are being honest and acting in good faith until they prove you wrong.

She should. Like Tim Miller did.
