I often stay up to date with #conservative media in #USPolitics just to keep apprised of what the #GOP is talking about, or to put it in a different way, so you don’t have to, but lately it’s getting just two much even for me.
It’s one thing to disagree with facts that #Republicans are working with, but lately they are getting more and more unhinged in their actual arguments, contradicting themselves but seeming oblivious of it.
For example, this week I heard the line that progressive attacks against #Trump are good for him because they will make him seem moderate to voters. If the ideologues are attacking him, then he must be moderate, right? But then the next moment that same presenter started talking about progressive attacks against #Biden without applying the exact same reasoning to that case.
In the past few weeks mainstream conservative talking points have just gotten ridiculous in their blind support for Trump. They’ve stopped talking about policy, or their claims about accomplishments, or anything like that. Now it’s just getting into chanting that really didn’t exist before.
On one hand, it’s sad to watch, it’s pathetic, and on the other hand it’s boring.
So I figure they are setting themselves up for a repeat of the red wave that never showed up during the last election. They are not setting themselves up to win.
Sigh. I wish they would at least make it interesting to watch.
