With One Round-Up, Rachel Maddow Shows Why Republicans Keep Losing

by


Rachel Maddow seemed on the latest occasions involving Republicans in Michigan, Ohio, Arizona, and Tennessee and painted an image of a celebration that’s fully out of step and rising extra excessive.

Video clips:

Maddow stated:

However, you understand, if we’re on the lookout for a prime prize right here, like step proper up. Ohio in competition, clearly, Michigan in competition with their repeated fistfights at Republican get together statewide conferences. Arizona clearly in competition with a neo-nazi school Republican talking tour. However I feel if any person goes to take the cake on this present information cycle, it’s most likely not the Republican events in any of these states. It’s most likely Tennessee.

You may need seen over the weekend that there was a weekend ruling from a federal appeals court docket in Tennessee. Tennessee Republicans have been going after trans individuals each manner they’ll. A federal appeals court docket this weekend on Saturday in a divided 2-1 resolution let that state go ahead with banning particular sorts of well being take care of trans individuals. And this isn’t some, you understand, some distant risk or one thing that’s form of locked up within the courts now. Because of that appeals court docket ruling, once more, on Saturday, this weekend, for individuals underneath the age of 18, that ruling this weekend means no matter ongoing well being care they’ve been getting in Tennessee, it’s now formally unlawful. That ruling went into impact instantly. Any such well being care, ongoing well being care that you just’ve beforehand been receiving has to cease instantly.

However that’s additionally taking place within the context of this different factor that Republicans are doing within the state of Tennessee. I do assume places them form of on the entrance of the road proper now. The Republican state lawyer normal in Tennessee is utilizing his workplace to acquire the personal medical data, unredacted full medical data for sufferers who’ve had care at a specific clinic in Tennessee on the Vanderbilt college medical heart. He’s utilizing his workplace as lawyer normal to take individuals’s particular person personal unredacted medical data for the needs of an investigation in his state lawyer normal’s workplace. Now Vanderbilt college medical heart says that they’d no selection however at hand over the data after the lawyer normal demanded them, however in addition they didn’t notify their sufferers that they’d handed over their data till after they’d already began handing them in.

The Michigan Republican Celebration’s descent into Lord Of The Flies kind chaos is humorous, however it reveals how excessive and dysfunctional they’ve grow to be. Arizona School Republicans are embracing nazism, which is a long run risk that must be monitored. Ohio Republicans are attempting to outlaw individuals from having the ability to vote in opposition to them which is an overt assault on democracy, however what’s going on in Tennessee is chilling.

The previous get together of small authorities and privateness is utilizing the most important of huge authorities techniques to violate the rights of individuals in Tennessee and deny them entry to healthcare.

After the 1/6 assault, it turned clear the extremism of the best was now not one thing to be chuckled at and disregarded.

Republicans are a harmful risk, and the extra elections that they lose, the extra excessive they grow to be in response. By wanting on the rundown that Rachel Maddow offered, it’s clear why Republicans, however what isn’t really easy to see is how or if they’re focused on stopping their plunge into authoritarianism.
