The POSOTUS may have lost an easily replaceable fluffer, and the Republicult™ may have lost an easily replaceable cheerleader, but:

"Lindsey Graham's death leaves Israel without one of its fiercest advocates and raises urgent questions about the future of US support."

Is that like the conservative equivalent of gender studies? 

Well ... I hadn't given it any thought until you brought it up. But, taking into account how opposed the typical conservative is to critical thinking, I'd have to say, yes. Yes, it is. Final answer.

It looks like what we have here is a failure to indoctrinate:

And, it's in West Virginia no less. What's a cult to do?

On a campus of a few thousand eligible, they probably would have had at least some who would be interested, however when they are choosing electives they will choose modules more relevant to their career path. It wasnt just that its a stupid course, it also got kicked in the teeth by capitalism.

It looks like the POSOTUS is giving a gift to the Democratic Party:

Trump announces midterm convention for Republicans in Dallas in September

As per this article:

"President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that Republicans will hold their first-ever national convention ahead of November's midterm elections, an unusual event aimed at boosting turnout in races that will decide whether the party maintains control of Congress."

And, further along in this same article:

"Democrats have said the GOP convention will be a chance for them to tie Republican House and Senate candidates to Trump, whose approval rating is underwater."

And so, it appears that the Democrats know they're being given a gift. Now, we'll see if they actually know how to utilize this gift.

Yeah, that's what I'm expecting too, although I am getting some hope from all the DSA candidates that are winning primaries.

I am watching them with interest.

The dems will get in.

And then they will say "We have to put all of this behind us."

And no bad actors will be punished.

You're almost certainly right, and as a consequence, the next Republican president will make us all wish for a return to good old Trumpy.
