19. Yup. GOP will rip itself apart. TSF owns the rump GOP which will wither into nothingness in 30 years

A new center-right party will rise and will be in the wilderness for 15 years until it becomes a contender. Even then it might take a decade to get a House or Senate or Prez.

Timing is faster these days though, and politics abhors a power vacuum. Realistically I do not expect Democratic domination for 24 years. Watch out for an independent who might take the Presidency.

If I had more time now I'd look into the fall of the Whigs and the rise of the Republican Party, and also the rise of the Democratic Party.

Trump will be busy trying to figure out how we can grift/ steal other people's money. Irish_Dem Feb 2024 #1
His take over of GOP is complete. They'll pay and also not a cent to GOP candidates unless they are 100% loyalist. . .nt Bernardo de La Paz Feb 2024 #3
