Jackie Calmes nailed it in the Los Angeles Times. The unwritten GOP planks of their campaign for the presidency and control of congress are:
- Anti-abortion extremism
- Pro-gun absolutism
- Anti-LGBTQ activism
- Book banning
- Vote suppression
- Election denialism
These are the issues that are dividing this country. There is apparently no compromise among the extreme loyalists. Perhaps Marjorie Taylor Greene’s suggestion that it’s time for a divorce should be seriously considered.
At the very least many of those people who register as an independent will be pushed into the Democratic Party.
Sadly many Americans treat the Constitution as if it is a bible. Their view is that whatever was written in 1787 and 1788 was a mandate that must be obeyed as if it was handed down by God. That is the reason the pro-gun groups treat their right to own guns as a right handed down by God. So even though there is Article V that defines the procedure those that believe they just cannot bring themselves to make changes. It has been amended 27 times.
