Newt may have been the last but that’s his own fault. He oversaw the GOP as it shifted from everyday “shitty conservatives” to insurrectionist nationalists.
I just want to make sure I get that off my chest. Newt heavily contributed to starting this. He’s the original McConnell. He wrote the playbook.
He also wrote the first republican purity test with the “Contract with America”, which started the repubs on their fanatical obsession with only having “true” repubs in office. He’s responsible for so much of what’s wrong nowadays, but so many people seem to have forgotten that.
Those of us that DO remember want him executed but Democrats and enlightened centrists keep telling me that we just need to win him over with better ideas while reaching across the aisle to join together in a spirit of bipartisan aloha.

Newt Gingrich is a hypocritical piece of shit. Worried about the budget but wanted a capital gains tax cut. Worried about ethics but was fine violating basic ethics. Even when presented with evidence that violent crime was down in 2016, he didn’t want to go with the “theoriticians” (aka the facts) but instead went with his gut (aka bullshit). And he is an election denier. Fuck him.
If conservatives want to be a part of the solution, they can be. But they aren’t.
Newt Gingrich was the last Republican to create policy and even he is problematic.
Gingrich was a dick
Good fucking riddance.
I regret to inform you that he is still alive
Who served his wife divorce papers while she was in a hospital bed recovering from surgery!
And that’s not the worst of it!

The only way conservatives can be part of the solution is if they take themselves out of the equation.
