Today,
the Republican Party exists for one and only one purpose: to pass tax
cuts for the rich and regulatory rollbacks for corporations. They
accomplish this using one and only method: unapologetically racist and
bigoted appeals to win the votes of the heartland riff-raff they
otherwise treat as mere money machines for their endless mail-order
cons.
Like
it or not, this is the modern Republican Party. It no longer serves any
legitimate purpose. It needs to be crushed and the earth salted behind
it, while a new conservative party rises to take its place. This new
party should be conservative; brash; ruthless when it needs to be; as
simpleminded as any major party usually is; and absolutely dedicated to
making Democrats look like idiots. There should be no holds barred
except for one: no appeals to racism. None. Not loud ones, not subtle
ones. Whatever else it is, it should be a conservative party genuinely
open to any person of any color.
When
that happens, I will change my mind about how we should fight the
Republican Party. Until then, no, I don’t think Brett Kavanaugh deserves
any help from Democrats and I don’t think liberals should waste any
time tut-tutting over Twitter mockery from 2013 that all of us know
perfectly well doesn’t represent any genuine anti-white sentiment.
GOPus delendus est. That’s it. Whatever works best, I’m in.

I must confess, I'm deeply puzzled by the general commentariat insistence that we somehow need a "conservative party". It's not like we've had a functioning liberal party for at least two generations...
