Lots of them won’t have jobs in two years. It’s over for the uniparty masquerading as two separate ones.
Authoritarian towards those entities that don’t have Americas best interests.
This is the future of the Republican Party and it will be the most inclusive diverse coalition ever in American politics.

The idea behind authoritarianism is that pluralism must be crushed because the other (including their ideas) are not worthy of being given space in the political arena. We have seen there is a ready market for that.

Conservative and American first ideology has been crushed for decades. This is the natural reaction.

No one has crushed conservatism. Sometimes it lost. Sometimes it won. Sometimes it lost its way. But no one ever denied it space in our political arena.
When you completely guy America’s manufacturing business with the mindset that efficient markets lead to slave labor in China that is crushing those that want to conserve a great America.
Political power has been used to silence conservatives from all walks of life now for a decade while the uniparty made sure the donor class profited off of the managed decline of America.

I'm confused by the diversity angle of thethe's New Republican Party. Did Trump improve his numbers among most races other than white voters? Yes. Did he still get absolutely destroyed by every segment of non-white voters? Yes.
From the data I've seen the 2020 margins are Dems +80% among black voters, Dems +35% among Latino voters, and Dems +30% among Asian voters. Given that about 2/3 of the VEP turned out in 2020, that is a whole lot of New Republican Party voters that have to come out of the woodwork if you're going to create the most diverse coalition in American political history.

Which completely ignores the other dominant ideology in the country that uses the full power of the government to impose their values. It’s the mistake libertarians make all the time. It’s a theory world ideology that ignores reality.
If the conditions were perfect then of course the libertarian point of view is the way.

American society has always made room for quite divergent world views. You only have to look at the history of "dissenting" religious groups over the years. The Quakers for example held themselves apart because of their disapproval of mainstream values and practices. They married within their "caste." And shunned and cast out those who they felt departed from their beliefs. A form of cancel culture. Which continues to this day with various groups. Nowadays the Quakers have had their own evolution, though I'm sure there are some who hanker for the old ways.
Cancel culture or to use a more old-fashioned term, ostracism, is as old as our species.
As Amash notes, however, a free society makes room for the dissenters and the dissenters within the dissenting group. It doesn't seek to use the power of the state to either impose or oppose a particular set of values. Each group is secure enough in its values that it does not seek state power to impose them on others.
But make no mistake, there is always a mainstream or dominant culture. There has been a shift in that respect within this country. Not surprisingly some people are upset about this. And we see an authoritarian impulse (given voice by JD Vance in that clip) to use the power of the state to restore the cultural status quo ante. The time when America was great, which for some seems to be way back in the 1820s. Others will settle for a return to the 1950s or 1980s. Good luck with trying harness the power of the state to turn the clock back on cultural values.

Interesting article on how the GOP has transformed projection from a psychological phenomenon into a political strategy.

Kansas Republican State Rep who was filmed kicking a child in the balls said God told him to do it. I wonder if this is the same God that tells Republicans to run for President.

it's very interesting...the party line seems to be "it is the all the fault of the left for triggering the authoritarian turn of the right"
always blaming the "other"...what happened to people taking responsibility for their actions rather than blaming someone else...all victimhood and grievance...zero principles

Amash deserves credit for calling it out...we can disagree or agree with him but he is consistent in his principles
