The next two years will be interesting to see what happens to them. They are in a civil war with the old neocons and the Trump loyalists.

Trump has the party by the balls. No matter how badly they want to get rid of him, the voter base loves him. If yesterday didn’t prove that enough, Trump has a 95% approval rating with GOP voters. He is the most popular president to conservatives since Ronald Reagan. Mainstream media has spent 4 years dragging up any old, washed up neocon they can who professes to anti-Trump and just shoving a microphone in front of their face.

Libs and the media in general do not understand conservative voters, nor do they seem to want to try and understand their mindset. For the past 4 years, they’ve just been shoving old neocons in their face and any Republican who claims to be anti-Trump. The Lincoln Project is a joke and had a negative side effect. Anyone who lives in the rural south or has had to deal with Republican family knows that this isn’t too hard to figure out. Conservatives vote Republican to go after the people they hate. It’s about preventing the black people from moving into their neighborhoods, putting the LGBT back in the closet, hurting minorities and immigrants and sticking it to the poor. This is the reason why every Republican becomes a RINO to these people after they leave office and they latch onto something crazier and worse. Trump isn’t a fluke. He said the quiet parts out loud and that is why they loved him from day 1 and why they still do. Liberals after 4 years still don’t understand this and think the answer is to just be smug and condescending towards the people.

Yesterday should’ve been a wake up call to liberals after 4 years of them just treating these people as a joke, but they still think they’re a joke. Libs will be shocked, SHOCKED when the next Trump comes along and manages to actually pull it off, cause these useless smug assholes learn nothing.

Trump was included in polls before he announced his candidacy in 2015, and wasn’t polling exceptionally well. His speech announcing his candidacy was relatively unremarkable OTHER than him calling Mexicans criminals and rapists and he basically said he was gonna reverse the GOP project to try and figure out a way to appeal to latinx folks and be at least a little accommodating of undocumented workers. That position was all the media talked about.

And wouldn’t you know it, Trump’s poll numbers shot up like a rocket immediately after that…

Yep, I remember that cause I worked in Mobile Alabama back in 2015 where he announced his presidency and did his first rally. The mainstream media focused entirely on the racist stuff he said, but the local media in Alabama were in LOVE with him over it. This was right after the gay marriage SCOTUS ruling too. There were local preachers in Mobile who were championing him as a savior that would go after the gay sinners (it’s forgotten now, but Alabama was refusing marriage license and had a huge scandal trying to jail someone for approving a same sex marriage).

Liberals and the mainstream media just don’t get it and I’m convinced after 4 years, they don’t want to get it. They truly believe the myth of the “good Republican”, so they focused on how mean and hateful Trump was, despite that being the reason conservatives fell in love with him. He says the quiet parts out loud. He don’t use the same coded language that previous Republicans would use. Libs have basically lived in a fantasy land since Obama was elected and they thought racism and bigotry just magically went away until Trump came along and made it magically return.

The more desperate and insecure people are the easier it is for them to hate each other based on group identifiers. Rs and Ds drive everyone into precarious poverty then act shocked when racism, sexism, homophobia etc magically sprout up. What the hell were they expecting.

I think there is a pretty large crossover in the religious extremists and Q-types.

The psychos are very advanced in taking over in my opinion. The really old ghouls will die off as the somewhat less old ghouls get absorbed into the dem party. The real question is if this shift can open the gates for a new party to rise.
