MTG: We will eradicate from the party any Republican who doesn't support Trump

[MRS DONNA SHALALA]

Democrats have essentially eradicated any non-Biden supporters from their party. This is just politics.

Setting aside the fact that this a blatant lie, Democrats don't fanatically support a twice-impeached, 91-times indicted, convicted rapist.

Which prominent Democrats have said they don’t support Biden?

There are none.

The approval ratings of Trump among Republicans are FAR, FAR, FAR higher than those of Biden among Democrats, and the percentage of Democrats who want an alternative to Biden is far higher than the percentage of Republicans who want an alternative to Trump. And this gap is even more bizarre considering Biden's biggest flaws are being too old and "uncharismatic," while Trump's biggest flaws are being almost as old as Biden AND a twice-impeached, 91-times indicted, convicted rapist, among many other things.

I remember in 2016, the Democrats didn't let anyone who hadn't endorsed Hillary speak at the DNC while Cruz gave a prime time "vote your conscience" speech and only close to the election endorsed Trump.

you mean the speech that got him booed off the stage by all the other Republicans?

MTG is absolutely deranged and I honestly feel like she is faking her stupidity to gain sympathy from some Trump supporters.

And what does that say about the state of your party?

Well yeah, they don't want to become Phillips whose political career is done inside the party for daring to not follow the company line

You can look at Canada where the criticism for a very long time of the modern iteration of the Liberal Party is its stands for nothing other than to be a Justin Trudeau Personality Cult and whatever his whims are that day. It's how modern politics works: if you don't support the leader, keep quiet if you want to have a career. Otherwise you're kicked out of the club. Modern-day Republicans are more accepting of people being pissed off at the leader if that leader represents the establishment because there's a strong anti-establishment undercurrent inside the party. The anti-establishment are now the establishment though, and they're of course less accepting of criticism seeming it as from the forces inside the party they had already defeated. Democrats...due to being a more cohesive organization they force people more in line (the two parties in this regard have flipped since say the 1980s). My state has not had a competitive Democratic statewide primary in 16 years, so rank-and-file party primary voters in the state have had zero influence on who represents them statewide that whole time, it's instead all tied up in the state party's powerbrokers in the Invisible Primary. I'm sure there's a list being kept somewhere of everyone inside the party that criticizes Biden's take on for example Gaza. Those people will have tons of resources come after them in say 6 years when they run for Congress. Both national parties have also become less accepting of substantial policy differences in their candidates which is one of several things destroying democracy in this country.

His political career is (potentially) done because he decided to run a hopeless campaign. The end.

The proper response to this is twofold. The whole Republican notion that there is this invisible Army of deniacs being held back from Mega Phillips momentum only by high spread pressure from the DNC and and Biden White House is typical Republican Ridiculousness and projection. The second point:

I hate Trump as much as the next person, but can we be more accurate in what we call him?  He isn't a "convicted rapist," since it wasn't a criminal trial.  He was held liable for sexual abuse in a civil trial, yes, but just not completely accurate to say he was convicted of something.

What about GA Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger? He refused to change the result of the 2020 presidential election in Trump's favor. Was that an example of not "supporting" Trump? If so, what does MTG make of the fact that GA Republican primary voters renominated him in 2022, and he's still the SoS of her state?
