The New McCarthyism

The new McCarthyism is defined by the new McCarthy - Kevin McCarthy.

The philosophy of Kevin McCarthy, U.S. House Republican leader from California, is simple.  Do what it takes to attain power.  Use your power to satisfy your political base according to their demands, no mater how foolish or inconsistent they may be.  Punish your opponents.  If they maligned your political benefactor or are simply women of color (like the Squad), that last point goes double. And when you get the chance, demoralize your opposition by bestowing power onto the scariest person in your inner circle.

A Republican House under Speaker Kevin McCarthy, like a Hillary Clinton Presidency has been called inevitable.  With one key difference; McCarthy's speakership actually is inevitable.  The Greedy Old Potentates have at least a 70 percent chance of winning the House, and Kev Mac has already put out his policy list for 2023. One is that there will be no blank check for aid to Ukraine anymore; given that the U.S. House of Representatives had the power of the purse, the Ukrainians will have to rely on someone else to supply them arms, like France, a country not known for political instability in this century.   McCarthy also plans to cut speeding domestically and he has not said he will rule out drastic cuts to or five-year reauthorizations for Medicare and Social Security, although Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) has already ruled them in if the GOP takes over the Senate.  And the California Kid has one other task on his mind - throw Democratic members of the soon-to-disband January 6 select committee off their regular committees for investigating Trump with no hope of being reassigned to other committees.  Folks like Adam Schiff will have nothing to do in the House unless they substitute once in awhile for the sergeant-at-arms.  

And once McCarthy is Speaker, he will most likely to delegate authority to the one Republican House member who can push for the passage of the Trump agenda in order to "Save America" (or SA, which also stands for Sturmabteilung, i.e., Storm Troopers) and pave the way for Trump's triumphant return to the Presidency in January 2025.

That would be Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.

Prepare for the fateful moment when you hear the click of goose-stepping boots down Pennsylvania Avenue.

It's inevitable.
