The final blow: Americans think Republicans don't care about them:Good going, dude!
Over two years ago, I penned a piece here calling for a direct challenge to the intentions of the Republican Party. It espoused the theory that the failures of conservative governance and policies were being masked by an existing narrative in the minds of voters that the Republican Party was that of patriotism, tradition, and small-town American values.
It's an image that the conservative movement had done an excellent job of cultivating since the September 11 terrorist attacks. In the narrative they promoted, they were the true American patriots who would preserve the country's values and keep it safe from harm, while the Democratic faction that opposed them was at best feckless, and at worst bent on surrendering and letting the terrorists win. And even as corruption, a failed occupation, incompetence and financial collapse swept Democrats back into power in 2006 and 2008, many Republicans still campaigned continuously on the narrative of putting America first, especially in contrast to supporters of Barack Hussein Obama.That story, however, may now be at the end of its arc. More below.
