I wonder what happens when the GOP party goes back to normal?

Does the Trump family own the assets of the RNC?
Does, Don Jr become the de facto leader of MAGA Republicans?

Personally, I think the Party torches itself. You will get no agreement on vision, policy, or rational behavior from the Trump cult.

Stay tuned!

They have aligned with the world's oligarchs and fascists.

With Trump gone, don't they just find another useful idiot to be their cult
leader?

Or does the old GOP have the fortitude to kick them all to the curb?

I don't know the answer either.

That is the sequel to the current movie we are watching.

A functioning democracy needs more than one party. But I think the old GOP has gone down the rabbit hole, and I don't know if they'll ever get out. There aren't enough Kinzingers in the party, and who's left has no credibility. They had too many chances since realizing who he really is to break lose, and never even tried.

Is it the end of the road for them and something new will take its place?

Or is there enough old guard to glue it back together somehow.
After a purge of the cult and diabolical billionaires?

Yes Trump has successfully neutered everyone in his party.
They either aligned with him or pretended to.
Or stood back and did nothing.

Many of them heading for jail in disgrace.

He was my "rep" . Took him far, far too long to realize he'd hitched his wagon to the wrong side. By all means he can continue to be a thorn in the pukes side but he himself was never a capital R republican. He just abandoned the sinking ship when he really was already floating around in his life vest.

Will the GOP survive and take back those who spoke out agains Trump?

Of course the Dems are disgusted with them, but what about the rank and file GOP?

Let me guess, breakfast and lunch for kids, female hygiene products in schools, and I know this one terrifies them, legalized marijuana.

Forward!

But I think he is an honorable and while we might agree on very little I think he would be willing to compromise and work for a solution that makes both sides unhappy
