Matthew Dowd: Center of the Republican Party is white nationalism & authoritarianism.

December 27, 2022 By Egberto Willies

*

Matthew Dowd continues his quest to expose the Republican Party for the fascist, white supremacist authoritarian organization it has become.

Matthew Dowd nails it again.

Matthew Dowd, a regular contributor to MSNBC, discussed the state of the Republican Party on a recent panel. The host asked him about the new Republican Congress that was about to take whole, especially with the disparaged state of the GOP.

Dowd first pointed out that the two Republican panelists on the January 6th commission were not centrists. In fact, they were more conservative than the current instantiation of the Republican Party.

“First of all, the two members that were on the Republican committee were not centrists, actually,” Dowd said. “They’re more conservative than the leaders of the current Republican Party. That’s one of the things that the Republican Party is, and Liz Cheney has enunciated it has abandoned principled conservatism.”

Dowd then pointed out the sad reality of what the Republican party has become.

“The center of the Republican Party has moved towards the ‘America first white nationalism, towards authoritarianism,’ Dowd said. “That now is the center of the Republican Party.”

And then he articulates the reason Kevin McCarthy, the purported Speaker of the House in waiting, is having to contort himself away from his party’s original tenets.

“And that’s why you see McCarthy doing all kinds of pretzel motions towards that end,” Dowd said. “He’s not doing pretzel motions towards moderates. He’s doing pretzel motions towards the nutjobs, you know, whether it’s Lauren Boebert or whoever else in the party because that is the center of the party today.”

We are talking about governing chaos. The Republican congresspeople are now a clear and present danger not only to our democracy but to the functioning of government in the aggregate. Luckily, the current Congress likely governed sufficiently well and passed enough legislation that may get us through the next two years of mitigated turmoil.
