Old-fashioned Nazi Putch!
Hitler did it. Stalin did it. All Authoritarian Tyrants do it...
Now it's Trump's turn to remove non-loyalists!
Donald Trump’s newly installed leadership team at the Republican National Committee on Monday began the process of pushing out at least 60 RNC officials, according to two people close to the Trump campaign and the RNC.

@Free_Press couldn’t happen to a more worthy set of RNC stooges.
DJT is telling us VERY clearly that he is a fascist. Now mainstream news needs to report it clearly. Not in neutral left/right terms. It’s fascists vs. democracy straight up.
@Aethelstan I mean, democracy brought us Trump.
He's acting only under the framework of democracy.
The RNC lost the support of the people, so democracy chose this new direction to regain it.
@volkris I disagree in that “the people” have no idea who the RNC leadership are and certainly did not vote for their dismissal in any direct way. DJT has not run on a platform of principles or policies. He famously rejected the formation of a party platform.
@Aethelstan RNC leadership gets a good deal of attention and airtime in popular conservative media circles, though.
It was especially high profile after the 2022 elections fell so far short of Republican expectations and conservatives were struggling to find someone to blame.
This has nothing to do with principles or policies. It's pure pandering and shifting winds of public perception.
After all, Trump was for McDaniel until he was against her.
@volkris I don’t know. I’m pretty up to date but could not name leadership for either party except for those elected to congress. Seems to me that rewarding loyalists — as opposed to building coalitions — is a clear signal.
@Aethelstan but to me that's where the rank and file of the Republican party wants to go.
I CONSTANTLY hear Republican voters talking about loyalty, which is absolutely not my cup of tea, but that's the direction the party has gone. Folks like Nikki Haley, for example, were pummeled by both mainstream commentators and in discourse between common voters specifically because she was perceived as disloyal.
The us versus them, we're on a sports team, be loyal to the team sense is very strong in the party these days, so it's not surprising that party leadership would need to change to respond to that shift.
@Aethelstan personally, I think it is their fatal weakness. Just me personally, I hope they fail spectacularly and finally come to their senses and start facing reality.
That's just my personal opinion though. I think it's bad for even Democrats that Republicans have gone so far off track.
But also personally I'm afraid they might win anyway.
We'll see what happens.
@volkris that SHOULD be their fatal weakness. We’ll see.
