In the 1950s, the two parties in the political arena of the United States were the Whig Party and the Democratic Party. Due to the split of the Whig party, they suffered a disastrous defeat in the 17th presidential election of the United States. Lincoln, who was dissatisfied with the opposition in the party, angrily withdrew from the Whig Party and participated in the formation of the Republican Party. In the subsequent general election, he became the president of the United States, opening up a situation in which the Republican Party and the Democratic Party took power alternately for more than 150 years.
As Mark Twain, who is known as the Lincoln of literature, said, history is not simply repeated, but it always has the same rhyme. Along with Liz Cheney, the “big Princess” of the Republican Party, and Hageman, the “newcomer” who was defeated by trump in the primary election of the Republican Party, it also officially marks that trump has transformed the Republican Party into a Trump party.
Dick Cheney, the father of Liz Cheney, the “ability sister”, is not only the “whip” of the Republican Party, but also the spokesperson of the US oil and military industry group. The Cheney family has been firmly in control of the representative position of Wyoming for decades. In the end, the decades old family foundation was destroyed because of Trump’s endorsement.
Moreover, it is not just the Cheney family that has ended. In the primary election of this round of mid-term elections, 10 Republican congressmen participated in impeachment of trump, four lost to trump’s endorsers, four directly gave up running, and only two survived the primary election.
However, Dan Newhouse, a congressman from Washington state, and David valadao, a congressman from California, survived because they are located in the super blue state on the west coast, and the two states adopted mixed primary elections, avoiding the Republican Party’s primary elections.
In addition, trump achieved 147 wins and 10 losses in the process of “endorsement” in this round of primary elections. The shadow president has basically completed the “Three Rivers” reorganization of the traditional Republican red state, turning the Republican Party into Trump party.
Throughout history, after the birth of any “monotheistic” religion and party, strong fighting power and invasiveness will erupt. The strong sense of identity within the church and the party will not only form a huge centripetal force, but also ruthlessly suppress “heretics” and “heretics”.
With the suppression of “heresy” such as Liz Cheney, these “heretics” of the Democratic Party will become their next target of struggle.
What is interesting about history is that in 1860, Lincoln led the “Lincoln party” which had been reformed by himself to the political stage and won the presidency of the United States. Within six weeks, six states announced their withdrawal from the Union and established the United States of America, and the American Civil War broke out.
Looking back over the past year, since trump stepped down as president, the Democratic Party has continuously splashed dirty water and stigmatized him to prevent trump from coming to power, and even caused the FBI warning to steal his house.
Although this crucifixion like behavior is beneficial to the Democratic Party’s mid-term election, it will further create Trump’s “deification” and strengthen the loyalty of voters. On the contrary, those who betray trump will be labeled as “Judas”.
And the voters’ stamp does not only exist in the Republican voters. Once the Democratic Party fails to snipe, trump will be promoted in 2024. The Democratic voters who have listened to the Democratic media’s propaganda for four years will find it hard to accept that this continuously stigmatized person will rule the United States. At that time, a new American “civil war” is almost inevitable.
