Nat'l Review-End of GOP "A dog in this condition would be put to sleep-It would be a piece of mercy"

“Like its financial counterpart, moral bankruptcy happens two ways: gradually, then suddenly. In 2016, I wrote that the likely outcome of a Trump presidency would be the end of the Republican Party as we had known it. And so it ends for the Grand Old Party: From abolition to anarchy, from republicans to rabble, a bloody-minded, homicidal gang in thrall to the very democracy John Adams warned us about. A dog in this condition would be put to sleep. It would be a piece of mercy.”

NatRev has spent its existence championing "no compromise!" stances. Every treaty they don't like is Munich! Liberal Democrats are "socialists" and the Rockefeller Republicans were quislings.

They were happy to have the same "rabble" identify themselves as conservative when it gave them the numbers to push through their pet policies.

It's pages are filled with columnists who lay derision on Democrats and liberals with a trowel the size of an airplane wing.

You. Built. This.

These are your people.
