(18,628 posts)The political fissure now runs right through the republican party, forcing GOP moderates and the sane to stand with democrats while the MAGAs adopt DJT's egotistical belief that all of America is with them.
This gross miscalculation by the republican party could cost them in elections yet to be counted. Unless they use deceit, and it's clear that's not beneath them.

(30,247 posts)Trump is a modern day P.T. Barnum, a con man. He figured that continuing his "Big Lie" fills his coffers with money. It also feeds into his self-delusion that he's beloved by the majority of Americans. This is a man who lost the popular vote twice, and by millions. He was only in the WH because 77,000 people in MI, PA &WI voted for him over Hillary, costing her the electoral vote. He never reached 50% approval rating in any major poll. He entered and left the WH with the lowest polls in Gallup's history, and they've been around since 1935.The GOP's insistence in punishing Republicans who speak against him will reduce their voting base, instead of increasing it.
Well, better for our side.

(18,628 posts)They hitched their fortunes to a egotistical star that will go full on supernova someday soon, and unless they see it coming, the party will get sucked into the black hole that remains. Cleaning the MAGA off themselves could take a generation.
Like trying to find a friend of Jeffery Epstein these days.

He's weak and spineless. Zero leadership ability. And if the Repugs are able to cheat out a win of the House next year, he could be the SPEAKER!

(15,084 posts)I'm convinced that the only reason he was elected in the first place is that he's a local Bakersfield boy, and he's tall and "handsome".

(3,433 posts)They represent all Americans. They are pinnacles of free speech and debate. It is certain that elevating Stefanik will create a fervor among voters to join their incredibly diverse, beloved and tolerant party. After all, she is aligned with and supported by the true leader of our fair nation who was robbed and cheated.
No, this decision is wonderous. The evil perveyors of space lasers and pedophile soylent green harvesting pizza party attenders will have no chance against the revitalized leadership of diversity, debate and honesty.
Lol.

(5,392 posts)because you think there is something in it for you, you had better be very clear in your thinking and motivation.
What is actually in it for you, and when, if the rising star fades or turns out to be a sham, do you disconnect as a form of self protection?
Trump was always a sham, so clear thinkers would never have done the hitching in the first place.
Those who still haven't let go of the Trump carnival wagon ride never will, and are doomed.
Which is a good thing, surely?
Carry on, the path to GOP self destruction is wide open!
