Erick Erickson, a Georgia Republican insider, said bluntly on Friday that former President Donald Trump is in real trouble after his frantic efforts to make himself more palatable to voters who believe in reproductive rights and other key issues.
Writing on X, Erickson claimed to have had "privat...
I think the World in general would be better off if Trump loses.
Not just Trump, the entire GOP needs to take a serious, undeniable shellacking this election cycle. The sort of loss that forces them, and it won’t be easy, to do some serious introspection regarding the future existence of their party. We will need to force them to lose so badly that they’re toxicity is blatant, absolutely radioactive. At all levels from city dog catcher on up. If Harris/Walz doesn’t have a sympathetic Congress they won’t be able to pull our proverbial bacon out of the fire.
I’m crossing my fingers that Florida flips, because IF Florida flips there’s a really good chance Texas flips too. At least I hope so, based on the trends in the polls. But then it’ll be a real landslide 🌊
If that happens, Harris would probably win by a larger nationwide margin than Obama 2008. Not holding out for that.
It is interesting that Florida and Texas have about the same margin in polls, though.
There is no amount of introspection that could accomplish that, especially due to a mere election loss. At this point, the GOP is an amalgam of a cult and a criminal conspiracy that’s so far down the deep end of fascism that nothing short of being dismantled by the DOJ under racketeering and/or insurrection charges or being defeated militarily will put it off its current path.
I mean, if you can think of any organization in history similar to Trump’s MAGA GOP that has rehabilitated itself without externally-applied force or violence, I’d love to hear it 'cause it would make me feel more hopeful. I, for one, don’t know that it’s ever happened any time in human history.
Question is…if Trump loses in 2024, does the GOP let him run AGAIN in 2028? Because I’d be fine if he keeps running, and keeps losing. And the 2028 race would presumably be against Harris. So I’d LOVE for him to lose twice to a black woman. Just because I know HE cares so much about gender and race, and it would be the one thing that would crush his poor little ego.
I strongly suspect his dementia-riddled brain will be too far gone for another run in 4 years. Hope so anyway.
They would ABSOLUTELY let him run again in '28 if he wanted to. They won’t like it but those chickenshits are too cowardly to stand up to him. He is single handedly ruining the GOP and I’m here for it.
They used to be able to deny or explain away their racism, sexism, xenophobia, and corruption, but Trump has forced them to go full mask off. They can’t deny it anymore and neither can anyone else who still calls themselves a Republican. I’m begging the universe to let this motherfucker run again.
