I'm not dead yet.
Been in this fight a long time. Way back when Eisenhower called out the deep state, but did nothing, and his replacement actually tried and was murdered...that was the beginning.
The conservatives have had 3 leaders since then and one primary though leader who tried to change the GOP:
Nixon-Say what you will, Nixon had a strong Dim Congress, and literal crap in the Senate. He ended Viet-Nam despite assurances that victory was right around the corner (yet again), and ate breaking the Brentton Wood agreement of anchoring dollars at $35/.oz to Gold. Even though it was the Fed Reserve and Johnson who spent the money, giving Nixon no good alternatives. He won1972 in a landslide and a Republican Senate, ended Vietnam and the Apollo program. He also forced Sadat and Begin to begin talks, that Jimmy Carter got credit for. Watergate was a media driven hit campaign, a tempest in a teapot. So what if Nixon tried to put a lid on it, the Johnson admin covered up a presidential assasination.
Next was Barry Goldwater, who brought the ideas of populist conservatism into the Republican party.
Next was Renaldus Maximus, who fixed the DC elites broken economy, and the Vietnam depleted military. He was nearly assasinated by George HW Bush early in his first term. That incident and his inabilit to get Soviet leader Andropov to sign a deal to dismantle nuclear weapons, left Reagan emotionally broken and exhausted in his second term.
GEOTUS.
That's it. A total of 41/2 terms 18 years out of 52.
Long slog, even though I wasn't politically aware of much until the 80's.

See the post above. I've been contributing in a shit ton of ways for a lot of years here. But you just lost your shit over a post that was pure sarchasm. You never heard the joke about hitting a "broken machine" with a hammer?
Enjoy living in your over the top snit.
