In reply to the discussion: I doubt Chump will be healthy enough, or even alive, to run in 2024. [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)24. +100. An inescapable imperative for most now is those two GA senate races.
Their base likely would remember their "betraying" the party now, whereas most of their usual betrayals could be painted over SOP before the next election.
But, those studying the increasing authoritarianism of the Republican Party say that when it "fell off the cliff" with Trump, a lot of Republicans officeholders jumped off with it. We're seeing them fully embracing fascistic tactics for obtaining power, including demonization without limits.
Reportedly, a 2020 report from over 600 political scientists will show that the Republican Party now compares to Viktor Orban's in Hungary. And almost all of them have been reelected by conservative voters who've also leaped or been swept over that cliff.
Btw, regarding the unusually clean (!) 2020 elections, my favorite guess is that the Republicans sabotaged the election theft they depend on to win by causing both increased scrutiny by national security agencies and increased attention by the citizenry.
And now the rage of our wannabe-full-on-fascists at losing!
