The worst part is the Republican party is actively selecting future leaders steeped in ignorance with this "anti-woke" crap, and then your party ends up with nothing but MTGs and Lauren Boeberts and George Santos types in office.

At which point they will still refuse to hold a post-mortem to try to figure out how they got so screwed up in the first place. They will, in the end, decide that it wasn't anything that they did wrong - because in their minds they didn't do *anything* wrong - and that the American electorate just don't know what's good for them. They will double down on their efforts to turn this country into one with good "Christian" ethics, with them being the arbiters of what is good or bad based on their misinterpretation of the New Testament. They will not rest until they have turned us into a theocracy and with all of us who disagree interned in re-education camps until we learn our lesson.

I remember after they lost seats in the House and Senate after the 2012 election, at CPAC they held a "post-mortem" forum on why they couldn't attract more Latino voters. Besides the people on the stage, it looked like about 12 people showed up.

They've needed a post mortem since Trump got elected in 2016.

Agree. But, I contend that they will still not hold a post mortem after they (hopefully and likely) lose again in '24. The New GOP is not able to hold a true introspection any more than the Apricot Arthropod could.

Isn't that the truth?
