A simple plan for how Republicans can take back their Party from the Trump cult.

[kentuck]

Primary every single one of them that voted to acquit and to not certify the election. Make their worst nightmare come true. They were afraid that Trump was going to get them primaried. They should clean up their own house if they want to remain a viable political Party. They have shown themselves unworthy to govern.

1. You are assuming the GOP wants to take back their party from Trump.

The majority of the GOP leadership agrees with Trump.

[kentuck]

2. Yes, it seems that way at present...

...until they realize they were not as popular as they thought. The many millions of voters that voted for Trump the last time will not be there the next time, in my hopes and wishes.

5. I hope you are right, and I am wrong.

But it is not looking good so far.

3. The ones who are going to be primaried are the ones who voted to convict.

The QGOP has largely taken over at the state level, and the potential new candidates are crazier than the current office-holders.

4. Totally agree, the state GOPs are solid racists, solid Trump.

And the party turns into Qanon.

6. That is their plan...

...but they could turn the tables on them, if they wanted.

7. They don't want to

the only real disagreement among Republicans is that Trump is too "out in the open" with the beliefs and "values" they all share.

8. First they have to want to take their party back, I haven't

seen a lot of evidence that they want to, just those never trumpers who have always wanted to get rid of him.

9. The Seditionist Right has taken over the party and dominate the primaries.

The moderate or mainstream conservative faction of the Repub party has shrunk (some have left and voted for Biden) and those who remain have simply drank the kool-aid.

A viable anti-Trump movement of centrist Repubs needs to emerge - but it likely will only happen after they lose badly and become electorally irrelevant. This will only occur if we destroy them at all levels an the ballot box in 2022 and 2024. Then and only then I think will we truly see a moderate wing of the GOP that would have a chance at taking over the party.

11. That might work. But I think putting all the reTHUGS in prison is a good plan too.
