So the Supreme Court relinquishes federal guarantees of rights (i.e. Gay Marriage) and the south starts enacting christian theocratic policies?

That depends on whether Biden and his team work put in safeguards against Trump (or whoever the far-right run in 2028). Robust measures that would create a meaningful power vacuum would have the moment disorganized and sitting on their butts doing nothing. The lazier the reaction from Biden, the more likely they try again in 2028, except theyll likely not reveal their godawful agenda to the public next time. ... Copied to Clipboard!

So why would they leave ship if their captain was still aboard? Trump's not running in 2028, so the question is who will try to take take over the MAGA mantle from him. The simple fact is, cults don't transfer power. They go and then eventually stop. Nobody is going to deify JD Vance, Tom Cotton, or Matt Gaetz. --- lolAmerica ... Copied to Clipboard!

A major reason that MAGA will become irrelevant, because eventually the wealthy donors will simply stop funding them when it becomes clear that they're a lost cause. Like 5% of Americans agree with their ultra right bullshit. There's a reason they've vocally tried to distance themselves from Project 2025 because it's so reviled. If they truly felt like people agreed with it, they'd simple double down vocally about it. But people don't want that. When you run on so much unfavorable bullshit, you're eventually going to lose support. That's why Republicans are constantly losing the popular vote, election after election. Gerrymandering and the EC are the only reason they have a semblance of power in this country and even that advantage is getting whittled away. --- lolAmerica ... Copied to Clipboard!

Since then, they just find ever new and different ways to cling to power, despite the complete worthlessness of their agenda (tax cuts and deregulation only for the rich) both on the policy merits and as a vote-getter. --- "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

EPR-radar posted... The difficulty with this line of reasoning is that the GOP donor class has been firmly on the wrong side of history ever since FDR.They aligned with MAGA because it was their best chance to win. Trump pumped in so many new Republicans that it was hard to ignore. Without Trump, MAGA won't matter because Ron DeSantis isn't tapping into that market. If Republicans win in November, then not ditching Trump after 1/6 was the right call for them as a party. At the time I assumed it was a horrible move because they could have simply cut bait, lose all the baggage, tank 2022, and start fresh for 2024. Instead they doubled down, only won the House in 2022 because of court authorized gerrymandering. But if they lose in 2024, they're completely fucked, because they haven't built up anyone to take over. The MAGA base and standard base both rejected DeSantis completely. Think he finished 4th after Vivek, that's how irrelevant he is on the national stage. In 2022 he was that star, in 2024 he was the fodder. Republicans are basically playing a final gamble and that's why project 2025 even got published, because they realize that they're simply not a popular party anymore. I will say, we're obviously in the darkest timeline, because we are potentially sliding into fascism despite there not being a real reason to. There's no wars, there's no bad economy, there's nothing that normally leads to authoritarianism to take over like it normally does. We just have stupidity and a horrendous media to blame, nothing more. --- lolAmerica ... Copied to Clipboard!
