A few weeks ago, I predicted that we would see two GOP civil wars after the election: one between Reactionaries who grudgingly accepted the results and those who didn’t; and one between PBPs and Reactionaries as a whole. Where do they stand?
The internal Reactionary battle is in full swing, and may cost the GOP the two Senate seats in Georgia; after all, what’s the point in voting if the system is already rigged? Even Governor Kemp (a/k/a, “The Dumbest Man in America), who tried so desperately to play for Trump’s favor, is now viewed as a Judas by the true believers. The conflict between the two groups isn’t likely to go away anytime soon, as Trump never forgets a slight.
Think of the scene in “Life of Brian” with the “Judean Peoples’ Front” and the “People’s Front of Judea” and you have some idea of what to expect.
The PBPs have succeeded in staying out of the fray thus far by refusing to admit that Biden has prevailed, but that will change as soon as the Electoral College votes are counted. At that point, they will move on. The base will never forgive them for it.
