It’s not just bad history; it’s a “cult
Tuesday, June 1, 2021
“They are sooo tribal,” smirks Meghan McCain from her very own protected pipeline (The View) as she tries to criticize the GOP’s stance on just about every useful and rational thing. She is a determined cultist but doesn’t know it.
This above phrase was her response to the threat of her party in the process of ousting Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyoming) from her assignment as Chair of the House Republican Conference, which seems to mean that McCain is defending her own kind.
At one time both of these Daddy’s Girls belonged to the Republicans which was, we thought, a political party.
Now, however it seems to have turned into a “cult” of people led by one man, Donald Trump, a so called “charismatic” who has spent the past four years on “twitter” holding power over a now polarized senate.
