I know its way early to talk about this but I've thought about it ever since Biden started looking like he had a chance. Theres probably gonna be a big schism between die hard trumpers/qanon and moderates. It will be interesting to watch which candidates try to court the trumpers and how

This. Trump has demonstrated just how much shit a blatantly corrupt president can get away with. Imagine what a blatantly corrupt president with a triple digit IQ could pull off.

This was the conclusion they reached after 2012, and look where they ended up.

This. All they really need is one charismatic guy who can push around the racist dogwhistles and actually damage the country with how much of a cult the republican base is.

The GOP will only get worse and Democrats will likely notice this and continue the low effort "We aren't as bad as them" campaign.

The GOP is gonna schism Islam-style with some people backing Don Jr. And some backing Tom Cotton.

Like I think we're going to just end up with a Maga Party and they will run against Republicans and some of them will win

Dems need to put their boots on the GOPs throat and make sure it gets fucking destroyed. None of this reach across the aisle we need to work together bullshit.

After the party splits, whichever split wins will just absorb the other party, since there aren't enough conservatives to elect a president anymore, especially if the party splits.

Every "centrist" republican will immediately give in to the MAGA crowd if the MAGA party starts winning.

You're gonna have to hope Congress does it because Biden is toothless when it comes to this.

Yes but this has happened before and it'll happen again and right now seems like the most ideal circumstances.

Eventually we get somebody as racist as Trump but sophisticated and intelligent.

Probably within the next decade, even.

given that Trump's rudeness and lack of sophistication seemed to be the main things that establishment Dems took issue with, this is... a feasible and frightening idea.

There will definitely be a Trump involved. Probably Tom Cotton and Josh Hawley as well. Maybe Nikki Haley and maybe Marco Rubio or Rick Scott.

There will be no Republican primaries.

Trump will be dictator and Ivanka will succeed him when he dies.

it's not a pendulum so much as a phugoid cycle that's steadily bringing us to the ground.

I'm worried about this, but I do think the lack of sophistication combined with stupidity is part of the "appeal".

I fully expect several flyover states to go through a stage of having blood soaked psychopaths who see pedophiles in every shadow in local governmental positions But I dont think the furthest extent of maga stuff is sustainable in bigger positions separated from the main Republican Party. The only reason theyre so tolerated by republicans is because theyre horny for trump, as soon as they start becoming a liability theyll be excised
