From top to bottom, the national GOP organization could soon be rid of anyone seen as insufficiently MAGA.
First came the internal grumbling about Ronna McDaniel, the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee.
Then came McDanielās decision to step down from her post at the end of February as she lost the support of Donald Trump.
After that came Trumpās move to put forward a slate of loyalists to take over the partyās top spotsāincluding an election-denying state party chair, a Trump campaign senior adviser, and the former presidentās own daughter-in-law.
Next could come the purge.
āI think within 30 days youāll see a purge of staffers from the RNC, because itās a hotbed for anti-Trumpism,ā Steve Bannon, Trumpās former chief strategist and host of the War Room podcast told The Daily Beast. āThatās the open secret.ā
Skeptical holdouts within the RNC have gotten the message: Their days are numbered.
I donāt
You clearly donāt have Facebook friends who are itching for civil war with the Democrats, or live in a rural area
How many of those people are actually violent and or physical and would carry out those things?
Also depends on your age, everyoneās a tough guy in high school. But regardless, thereās plenty of adults that would do these things (apparently - see Jan 6th) so I guess it wouldnāt be that far off from WW2 stuff, but a purge where everyone kills everyone?
No.
How many citizens of the Weimar republic were violent?
There was some street fighting, marches of early Nazis carrying signs and chanting, some unofficial law enforcement agencies charged with being loyal to the leaders instead of the lawā¦ but itās not like it led toā¦ oh waitā¦ well, hang onā¦
Nice progression ādepends on your ageā -> āyouāre probably in high schoolā -> āyeah youāre in high schoolā. Iām older than you.
This kinda undoes your āthese people arenāt really violentā thesis. The threat of violence already impacts the decisions of election workers and politicians. The question weāre debating is simply, how much. Any amount is too much.
