A little thread about Trump and the GOP moving forward
The right is currently divided into two factions:
-Traditional Republicans (TR)
-Trumpists
Trump lost because some TRs rejected him
The GA Senate race was lost because some Trumpists rejected the GOP
1
It's similar to 2016 when the Bernie bros didn't show up for Hillary
What did Dems do? They embraced progressivism and wokeness and got the leftists onboard
So the question is what does the GOP do about Trump?
2
Trump generated a lot of votes from groups that have never embraced the GOP
Trump was also incredibly popular among Republicans during his presidency
A lot of Traditional Republicans came to like Trump because he gave them policies they liked and stood up to the left
3
Those on the right calling for Trump's head need to keep in mind that while Trump is fairly toxic at the moment, Trumpism resonates with a lot of people
If they reject Trump, I'm not really sure what their path forward is
Want to go back to Romney-ism? Or Paul Ryan-ism?
4
Also, keep in mind that Trump won't back down
If the GOP goes at him, he will go to war with the party and will succeed in primary-ing alot of traditional Republicans
His core is very loyal and will stand with him
