CPAC used to be about conservative ideas -- now it's just a circus

[Guno צְבִי]

The CPAC that has been on display this week is a far cry from what some of the more serious conservatives of the 1970s had in mind. The event has become a political circus filled with conspiracy theories, cranks and far-right extremism. The past few days have featured speakers from Fox News and the Trump world spewing out the most outrageous statements they could think of making.
One of the oddest moments came when Trump's former deputy assistant, Sebastian Gorka, warned against supporters of the Green New Deal and told the crowd, "They want to take your pickup truck, they want to rebuild your home, they want to take away your hamburgers. This is what Stalin dreamt about but never achieved." The podium had the feel of a "safe space" where conservatives could speak their minds and trot out zany ideas without fear of attack.

When will people get it. There is no Republican party. Trump took it over without a fight. McConnell and Ryan criticized Trump for being the asshole and thief he is until he won. Then Ryan fled and Mitch took a knee. The reds simply back everything Trump says and does because they know they will be primaried if they accidently work to make America better. A senator ,seemingly an adult and educated said to Cohen, liar,liar pants on fire and did not get hooted out of the room.There is no bottom for the reds. Trump will go down and wreck the party.
This is what an attending Repub said about Datffys speech. https://www.newsweek.com/gop-strate...iastic-reception-trumps-unhinged-cpac-1349970
