New generation of the GOP?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I could easily see the Christian conservatives break off and form a new 3rd party. The new GOP is nothing like the old guard GOP of the 1980s-2000s.

Those "Christians" don't give a damn about their religion. They hate universal healthcare and support the death penalty. How Christian. They overwhelmingly supported Trump because he and those stooges you listed represent what they really want which is a whiter country.

Capital punishment and personal responsibility (as, of course, is compassion) are both in the Bible, but okay.

Personal responsibility for one's general station in life and for the consequences of one's sins=/=personal responsibility to be or become rich enough that you can come up with the money for medical procedures that cost thousands of dollars a pop or else you'll die in a heap.

True, but I'm not that kind of Republican.

Didn't think you were, just wanted to make sure.

Apparently Russell Moore, one of the only conservative Evangelical leaders to consistently point out that Trump is despicable, might get fired from his position in the Southern Baptist Convention for having the temerity to try to lead Evangelicalism away from the "Republican Party at prayer" model of public advocacy. These people are addicted to feeling superficially listened-to by politicians. It's the smack that, like Lou Reed, makes them feel like the children of Christ they're supposed to feel like anyway. At this point it's difficult to avoid the conclusion that, when they finally realize that being the "Republican Party at prayer" will not avail them any longer, they'll equivocate themselves out of relevance and possibly out of existence like an ossified Northern European state church.
