In 22 the GOP didn't perform real well when Trump wasn't on the ticket. A couple days ago, Trump was on the ticket and it was the GOP's best showing since 88? @dbmhoosier is going to love this thread 🤣

Tells me that the GOP IS Trump now. I’ve been a Republican my entire life. No more
And the Trump party is certainly not conservative. Not full on progressive but more so than the old GOP. It might be a party I could support if they would get rid of the douchebag in charge of it.

And he drastically outperformed all the other Republicans almost everywhere. The RINOs are dead and so will the Republicans if they don't embrace Trumpism.

This is only a working theory, so bear with me here.

With all the double jerking dudes off motion, getting played off stage to YMCA, and fellating microphone stands, Trump was sending dog whistles to latently gay conservative dudes to let out all that pent up frustration and let their freak flags fly. When Tucker told them they'd all get spankings from Daddy Trump for being naughty it was virtually guaranteed they'd come out in strong numbers and the election was effectively sealed.

I usually keep this type of high level election analysis behind a paywall on my substack. Your welcome Cooler!

You and @Aloha Hoosier need to leave the party. You aren’t republicans. One of rfk jr’s biggest things is the war machine. They are going to be more protectionist etc. they’re appealing to blue collar old working class Dems. There’s been a realignment. Pubs almost look like the Dems of the 90s.

That’s okay. I guarantee there are still many who feel like you guys. Maybe a new iteration of the Dem party will fill that void and you can become Dems. I don’t know. But there is no purging maga etc. that’s the Republican Party
 
if we are introducing elephants....trump has never defeated a man either..........let's discuss
Ah, yes: the Andy Kaufman woman wrestler of politics. The Dems weren't smart enough to run a white male: they could have received that priceless advice from me for free.

P.S. It isn't nice to call Trump an elephant. You try eating that many McDonald's cheeseburgers, do nothing but watch TV, and looking better.

I’ll do exactly what I want to do.
 
Concur with that.
Me and the dream team could be in the Republican Party, you and rock and the doc could be in the the grand old party, shitter and jimbo and Ohio could be progressive party, Lars and Cortez and booger others could be Dem party

You’d mostly have right, right center, left center, left

I’m not a D and never have been. I’m just not MAGA and never will be. I’m right of center who is fiscally conservative and have a libertarian streak when it comes to letting people live their own lives. I also strongly support law and order. Hell I’ve worked for 2 different R governors.

Okay forget it then. That would require an entirely new party. We can’t have 5. We’re approaching Monty python

Advice from the MAGA king? I’ll pass

Where do we go? I’m with you
 
I don't think there exists 'Trumpism' as any set of policies or guiding principles other than 'elect Trump' . And his coattails didn't seem all that great in previous elections to get Republicans in. This time though - since the Democrats have been so bad and bankrupt - many voters changed ships.

If we had to get Trump, to get the sea change, I'm OK with it.

Be interesting to see who controls the Repub party after four more years. Or if there's a coherent set of ideas being followed. I'd hope they'd be libertarian principles, but don't expect it. The RINOs certainly aren't, and I hope they stay defeated. But 'Trumpism' isn't either, it's just a bit better than the liberal authoritarianism.

Until the RINOs are purged the Republicans will continue to struggle. The Don has been leading everyone to water the past 9 years. Many still refuse to drink.
