This isn’t difficult, folks. Get with the program. The number of establishment scum and panicked trash within the GOP who believe Donald Trump’s presidency is just temporary are sadly mistaken. This is the new era of the GOP—we’ve absorbed the Obama coalition, you clowns. Still, we have procedural losers and spineless RINOs within our ranks, but they’re being hurled into the woodchipper. It’s simple, guys: follow the leader of the party or be destroyed. 

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) is the latest to fall, losing his primary in Louisiana. Are we surprised? The man voted to impeach the president. Cassidy failed the simplest litmus test and was suckered in by the media and Democrats over the GOP’s focus on tradition, procedure, and institutions. 

Not saying there’s anything wrong with that overall, but we all know the second impeachment turned into a circus as well. And when Trump won in 2024, which was a rejection of the Democrats’ January 6 nonsense, he probably knew his days were numbered.

He’s not alone. In Indiana, dozens of State Senators who chose not to redraw their maps received pink slips, part of White House Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair’s plan to hold accountable those who opposed the president. He personally vetted every primary challenger, and many a political scumbag was voted out earlier this month. 

You go against the president, and you’re finished. That’s how it should be. That’s how it usually goes. This isn’t some new phenomenon. There’s that saying that Matt Kibbe, formerly of FreedomWorks, used to say during the height of the Tea Party wave: sometimes you need to defeat the Republicans before you can defeat the Democrats. That was nearly a generation ago, and there’s still rot to clear out. 

The worst are these anti-Trump Republicans who think they can take over once he’s gone. If the GOP ever reverts to its 2008/2012 self, I’d rather never vote again, as I’d pretty much be voting for Democrats or Republicans who are too chicken s**t to fight, which might be worse. Either way, not for me. Not worth wasting my vote on those types of losers.
