If it is hurting the election chances of republican candidates should we promote it and let em die as we change America for the better ?

And as Clyburn and others noted: calling for defunding the police and other far left idea hurt and will do again.

But, of course, how successful we will be in Biden’s agenda will be a factor.

Trump's Republicans will win primaries and some elections in the reddest areas. But in the broadest perspective, most Americans have rejected Trump and his anarchy. Even many of his supporters are exhausted from his 24/7/365 bullshit. (By the way, what accomplishments did he bring to the great majority of his followers?)

My opinion is that Trump is going to fade away over the next couple of years as his time is divided between golf, tax investigations, golf, criminal investigations, golf, McDonalds, golf, rape allegations, KFC and more golf. Meanwhile, although he'll being whining that the election was "stolen" from him, the world will move on as more and more information about Trump's incompetence and malfeasance come to light. By 2023, he'll be damaged goods in most people's eyes.

constituency. I think policy wise Americans are more left as far as policies like minimum wage, healthcare, taxing wealthy and corporations, saving Medicare, SS, immigration, unions, etc. I think a large group on the right are Trumpers or Hawleys or Rubios. I think the old school Romney Republicans consist of some older white people and a majority of the Republican media pundits. So basically I think Democrats need to stop worrying about center right Republicans or Trumpsters and concentrate on making bold policies that will benefit the American public. The Trumpers will be dealing with the remaining centrists left in the Republican Party. Hopefully they will continue to destroy each other while the Democrats make policy that makes Americans lives better.

We need to increase our numbers and win more offices. Reign in the gerrymandering. Establish law and order again. Get the vote out. Do community outreach. Organize and mobilize for 2022 and 2024.
