for cases of treason

The RNC is misinterpreting the anger out there and the uniparty is thinking the move to bring back trump will placate the worst of it.

The confidence interval is low at the moment, but anywhere from 1-5% of the base on the right has disengaged from the party. I made similar arguments months ago, but it was supposition at the time. You look at the engagement numbers and sentiment across that timespan for TGP and other sites, and we can extrapolate 750k to 3.7m people are very angry with the rightwing of the uniparty.

They see the failures of the RNC as little more than quid pro quo, or friendly rivalry, which is the worst and most dangerous possible perspective when people feel they lack representation.

What I see unfolding is a subsegment of the national mood, activated and brought to the surface, by the recent mar-a-lago raid. It's not the event itself but the event du jour, that ties the disparate sentiments and various outrages together into a fully formed zeitgeist.

The fuel is the IRS hirings, and the narrative is "they go after trump, they're really going after all of you."

This is the worst possible series of events possible, not simply for the DNC, but for the RNC being able to control or placate the base. The RNC will actually have to do something, or accomplish something against the DNC, to send a message of "winning!" to the base this time, which is exactly what the left half of the junta isn't going to allow during the regime's fake elections.

I guess I should be happy that the RNC is about to be splintered into a handful of warring groups. This is their menshevik moment. They deserve it.

Unfortunately as necessary as more pain is to destroying the regime, the raid likely means the RNC will split due to inaction, and thus lose the momentum to control the midterms, which means embolded, the leftwing of the regime will consolidate power even further. A new mandate.

The standard playbook of the "attempt to do something->fail due to 'opposition'->apology tour->tough but empty rhetoric" isn't going to work. It didn't work on me six months to a year ago, and as I predicted, it won't work on the public now either. Ted cruz has barely come back, if at all, from his headfake support of the right during the last presidential election or his anti-J6 comments. Desantis is too insular and insulated in florida. "what have you done for the rest of america?" will be the rallying cry of the DNCs republican lackies, in order to sap momentum (even though he really couldn't do anything outside of florida). Rubio is a nobody. Romney is out, even though they believe this might be a GW-type contest where we have an 'external threat to rise against vs growing populist sentiments fronted by "moderate" candidates.'

Except the GW animal spirits on the right have been roundly rejected courtesy of the populist element on the right. Basically trump sucked all the air out of the room for that playbook, so the uniparties only play is to play ball with him if they want to go that direction.

They're stuck.

I guess they could double down on the "domestic threats" narrative, and gin up internecine conflict between the party bases, but while a useful distraction, it doesn't solve the RNC deligimtization dilemma unfolding. Basically the GOP looks, maybe not weak, but certainly anemic. Theres this perception growing in the public, of this question "yeah the courts turned some things around, but that was all trump. What has the RNC done for us lately?" And more are starting to ask what the point of the recent court cases we won even was, considering we'll probably have it all overturned by a packed court in a year or two anyway? And where will the RNC be?

Right where a growing segment expect them to be: Continually shit talking, failing always by a handful of votes, playing at moderation, always showing up late to put a stop to some poisonous bullshit out of congress, and making excuses.

Basically the RNC isn't there for us. They're not in the bar (congress, senate, DOJ) acting like bouncers (representatives fighting for us). They're outside fighting (and intentionally throwing the fight) over stolen bar tab money (tax payer dollars) bet by some crooks (swamp), on what amounts to a bum fight, while inside the bar, arsonists (the media and FBI and administrative state) rob the till (ukraine money laundering), murder the patrons (covid policies and coercion), and burn the bar down (destroyed economy, dismantling the energy sector, and unprosecuted mass riots from the last two years.)
