Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) did not mince words about the state of the House Republican conference on Friday, saying it's in a tough spot at the moment.
Trump has completely destroyed the Republican Party.
Not only has he destroyed the Republican Party, he has inflicted significant damage to the very fabric of the United States. He has sown discourse discord, conflict, and division that could take decades to undo. How sad.
Controversial opinion I don’t think he did honestly. I think his damage was short term. He busted open a lot of bullshit and made it clear why we shouldn’t be this way, and I think seeing voters in the last two elections has made that clear. We’ll see if the momentum continues but Americans made it clear tbh, we ain’t into it.
Dude, he threw wrenches into every possible governmental agency and operation he could, and we will be paying the price for decades. Having the EPA move to Kansas City so most would quit, having that puckering asshole Louis DeJoy run the USPS in order to weaponize mail delivery to blue states, including the destruction of what has turned out to be irreplaceable mail sorting machines, replacing experienced civil servants at all levels with partisan hacks or just leaving positions unfilled, giving away and/or selling state secrets that fuck US allies and relationships built over decades, gutting public health like Obama’s pandemic preparedness office, defunding the IRS to the point that it can barely keep up and is in no position to go after the biggest tax losses, (corporate tax fraud), opening up BLM protected lands for mining and sale on the very first fucking day of office . . . the list is endless at this point. It just goes on and on. I don’t think it can ever even be quantified.
Also pretty much firing all diplomats and not rehiring or filling the positions with clowns like him. Destroying decades of soft power in a record span.
Yeah, people underestimate how crucial national relationships are to national security. Far more important, IMO, than even the alphabet intelligence agencies. (I assert this with Kennedy and his backdoor phone calls with Khruschev in mind.)
When Trump gutted the State Department and the collective knowledge of its career civil service, he gutted a large chunk of our national security. Probably because it was killing two birds with one bitter stone: fulfilling Putin’s orders AND taking a big fat dump on Secretary of State Hilary Clinton’s years-long work.
He couldn’t care less that it was the heart of how the US interacts with the rest of the world, or how many allies, internal and foreign, he completely dicked in the process, or the price we will absolutely pay for that as a country, now and into the indefinite future.

Definitely. Writing without reviewing rarely yields a great sentence. Thanks.

I admire your optimism.
Why? Trump damaged an already disgustingly broken system all he did was cause more incentive to change it.
