“Republicans … have failed to actually deliver on making life more affordable for the American people,” Jeffries said to Dana Bash, the State of the Union host. “It was Donald Trump who promised to lower costs on day one. But we know that costs haven’t gone down in this country. Costs have gone up.
“It was Donald Trump … who said that he was elected not to start wars, endless wars in the Middle East, but to stop them – and then turned around and has gotten us involved in this reckless war of choice in Iran that has skyrocketed gas prices on the American people.”
I don’t think real change is possible without the republicans going completely under. They have abandoned all principle and even pretense at principles. If they ever do we will quickly see a spike in third parties and likely a split with democrats. As long as you have this completely crazy pants party winning elections its going to be a defensive game for many.
Be careful. Canada had a right wing party that went to zero in the late 80s. This led to way too much power for the other party for over a decade, then the party got co-opted by hard core religious right wingers very cosy with the US. Even in 2025, their leader was a US citizen.
im not saying conservatives have to go away. They just need to find themselves and do a new shingle. I realize they will not go away which is why I would expect a rise to third parties and a split with democrats given many democrats are right of actual center.
