Well, I was walking down the street just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink
He shook-a me up, he took me by surprise
He had a pickup truck and the devil's eyes
He stared at me and I felt a change
Time meant nothing, never would again -- Time Warp
Pull up a chair and watch in amazement as Atlantic magazine in-house columnist and Never Trump about town, Tom Nichols, "yadda yadda"'s 35 extremely inconvenient years right out of existence.
From The Bulwark podcast:
Tom Nichols: I mean, Ronald Reagan leaves office talking about the importance of immigration and the American ideas, shining city on a hill. And now we have this Republican Party that says, that basically, you know, we are a hard core of anti democratic cranks who refuse to lose an election because only we understand what’s best for the country and our opponents are criminals and communists...
Ronald Reagan's last day in office was January 20, 1989.
That was 35 years ago.
That was an entire human generation and a half ago.
But in ol' Tom's mind the timeline goes, there was St. Ronald Reagan...and then, suddenly, inexplicably, this "modern Republican party" appeared. Then comes the chest thumping about how awful "they" all are, and the aggrandizing of the genius of the Never Trumper who were right all along!
As long as we all agree that "all along" means five minutes ago.

Is there a , "how instruction" to bring back the old expression of " FUBAR " in regards tot he GOP's ideology?
I don't know what they believe in, what their agenda is? When they claim their Holier than thou credentials, who is their God? Trump? They demand Border security and work on it for months only to oppose it when they get what they demanded.
They are unclear on direction and I hear more about who they hate and how they want to impose pain and punishment on these "enemies. This includes their own GOP cult members.
Can FUBAR return to our vocabulary?
