Second Thread: The incurable SPD

Looking at the coming split of the GOP, next up is the era right up to Trump announcing his run in 2015. What happened in the decades right up to that moment. We get SPD, Sarah Palin's Disease. Alas, there is no cure

I like to joke that the GOP got infected by SPD Sarah Palin's Disease but many have pointed out that no, the GOP became sick well before Sarah. And the root cause is Newt Gingrich.

The first corruption of GOP as a politically viable party came via Newt
When the GOP came off its immense power era (2 terms of Reagan, record-national support, leading to rare 3rd term by one-term Daddy Bush) - then came suddenly the populist Bill Clinton - who stole the Republican thunder and stole the MIDDLE GROUND of politics
Newt Gingrich poisoned the GOP political minds that instead of contesting for the middle of the nation - the GOP should instead fight for the base. Poison the middle, enrage the base, and win that way.

Since Bill Clinton won in 1992, GOP has only once won 50% of the election
That once exception was 2004 - when W Bush got the benefit of the 9/11 terrorist attack good will. He was NOT a popular President. It was a sympathy vote. Apart from that, GOP has not gotten over 50% of popular vote once, since Newt Gingrich's mad political 'strategy'
Daddy Bush lost to Bill Clinton
Bob Dole lost to Bill Clinton
W lost popular vote to Al Gore
McCain lost to Obama
Romney lost to Obama
Trump lost popular vote to Hillary
Trump lost to Biden

THIS IS A SUICIDAL POLITICAL STRATEGY
The MAIN reason GOP has held the House about half the time, is GERRYMANDERING (=cheating)

The MAIN reason GOP has half of POTUS victories (W vs Al Gore, Trump vs Hillary) is the archaic non-democratic Electoral College
Because Gerrymandering is political cheating - at some point it will be outlawed or forbidden by a fair SCOTUS. Sooner or later, Gerrymandering will be gone

At that point GOP becomes PERMANENT MINORITY PARTY in USA
Because Electoral College is UNDEMOCRATIC and archaic, a relic of history, it will be ended. Sooner or later. When the Electoral College is removed, the chances of freak Republican 'victories' like W over Al Gore or Trump over Hillary - will end.
From 'winning elections' by popular vote count - basis, the GOP has already ended their ability to contest on an equal basis with DEMs

That is because of Newt Gingrich. Sarah Palin only compounded that mess that Newt created
We do not 'see' how weak the GOP is, because they have nearly half of House and 50/50 in senate, and exactly HALF of all US presidents since Bill Clinton.

That is because of election technical obsolesccence or mistakes like gerrymandering and the Electoral College
It is important to understand, Newt Gingrich understood that a type of 'cheating' can get you SHORT TERM victory at the cost of LONG TERM DAMAGE. And the bastard asshole that Newt is, he took that calculation.

Newt was Trump's FIRST POLITICAL ADVISOR for Trump's 2015 run.
Like Newt Gingrich, Trump never for one second cared about the PARTY of the Republicans, and what harm he does to them. They are political opportunists.

Parasites.

And willing to sacrifice that party for their own BOOK SALES

Trump's 2015 campaign was modeled on Newt's 2012
When Trump entered crowded 2015 race, Trump NEVER THOUGHT he had a CHANCE to win (but he pretended of course that he was going to win). That is why he took ridiculous positions, hired no competent staff, was contibnously hogging free TV air time. It was a BOOK TOUR (like Newt's)

INDEX THREAD

This is an index Thread to let you find my 'Path' Threads. These six Paths are the main areas of criminal investigation that will take Donald Trump to prison for Life or more (each). I do regular updates to the Paths. This is the link to my August updates to each


Path 1 of 6 is the Weisselberg Path. This is about Donald Trump financial crimes from 2004 to 2021. Allen Weisselberg just pleaded guilty to 15 counts of tax fraud & grand larceny. It is only the first of his 9 criminal trials to


Path 2 of 6 is the Giuliani path of his crime spree 2019-2021. Rudy has been attempting to flip against Trump and get a plea bargain, after FBI raided his office, home and took his 18 phones. Rudy is not getting a


Path 3 of 6 is the Matt Gaetz path. This does not expect to catch Trump in rape or sex crimes. But Matt Gaetz's convicion as serial teen rapist (from 2020) will get to Trump crimes in selling Presidential Pardons


Path 5 of 6 is Tom Barrack path with Trump crimes 2016-2017. Tom ran a series of foreign policy crimes including the extortion of Qatar. Tom's criminal court case starts in September. He got superceding indictments incl

@Nick_Carmody @NBCNews @BandyXLee1 @Narcopath_UK @narceducator The same tactics used with Trump were used with Hitler by the Evangelicals to set up someone who exhibits qualities as an AntiChrist into a role of a Saint but this time targetting Muslims as Killers of Americans & still using gay people as abomination of God to con churches...1/

@NBCNews @BandyXLee1 @Narcopath_UK @narceducator This was by design and process that developed over 60 years of psychological influencing through a collaboration of the entertainment world, religious broadcasts, oil/gas loyalists who bastardized the US Constitution, and #KochNetwork #DarkMoney orgs connected to DeVos...2/

@NBCNews @BandyXLee1 @Narcopath_UK @narceducator Judeo-Christian America never existed. 1A was designed to removed Roman Catholic Church of England hold over the newly formed US Government. It demands zero influence of religion over law or government decisions. The Virginia Baptist insisted on it w/ Thomas Jefferson...2/

@NBCNews @BandyXLee1 @Narcopath_UK @narceducator Judeo-Christian is coined from Nitzche's book "The AntiChrist" that means Jews converting to Christianity. It is used in the context we see today to tie in a Jewish Jesus into the Torah so that the strict rules of the Torah are elevated to a Christian philosophy. A paradox...4/

@NBCNews @BandyXLee1 @Narcopath_UK @narceducator It is a paradox because Jesus was a rebel Jew. He defied the teachings of the Torah which pissed off the Pharisees - Jewish religious leaders. He elevated poor & people society condemned to same level as leaders. He is nothing like what we see today as American Christianity...5/

The first ever world map was sketched thousands of years ago by Indian saint
“Ramanujacharya” who simply translated the following verse from Mahabharat and gave the world its real face

In Mahabharat,it is described how 'Maharishi Ved Vyasa' gave away his divine vision to Sanjay


Dhritarashtra's charioteer so that he could describe him the events of the upcoming war.

But, even before questions of war could begin, Dhritarashtra asked him to describe how the world looks like from space.

This is how he described the face of the world:

सुदर्शनं प्रवक्ष्यामि द्वीपं तु कुरुनन्दन। परिमण्डलो महाराज द्वीपोऽसौ चक्रसंस्थितः॥
यथा हि पुरुषः पश्येदादर्शे मुखमात्मनः। एवं सुदर्शनद्वीपो दृश्यते चन्द्रमण्डले॥ द्विरंशे पिप्पलस्तत्र द्विरंशे च शशो महान्।

—वेद व्यास, भीष्म पर्व, महाभारत


Meaning:-

हे कुरुनन्दन ! सुदर्शन नामक यह द्वीप चक्र की भाँति गोलाकार स्थित है, जैसे पुरुष दर्पण में अपना मुख देखता है, उसी प्रकार यह द्वीप चन्द्रमण्डल में दिखायी देता है। इसके दो अंशो मे पीपल और दो अंशो मे विशाल शश (खरगोश) दिखायी देता है।


Meaning: "Just like a man sees his face in the mirror, so does the Earth appears in the Universe. In the first part you see leaves of the Peepal Tree, and in the next part you see a Rabbit."

Based on this shloka, Saint Ramanujacharya sketched out the map, but the world laughed
