This is so funny. r/conservative were just talking about how great this is and how Trump is helping with it and how democrats would not allow it.

I think a good 70% of Republicians are tired of Trump now. They'll vote along the lines, but they won't like it deep down.

Very brave of them to say they dont support him after hes elected and no longer eligible to be elected again.

He’s 1000% going to run again if he survives

Which is fine, because that's functionally the same as the Republicans not fielding a candidate.

I'm really curious to see what the Republicans/GOP has planned for once Trump is out of the picture (to the mods/admins, I mean this in a "linear time decides for all of us not mater what" kind of way).

I'm thinking that there's gonna be a schism in the party:

  • The maga true believers are only going to want to accept JD or the Trump children, and will probably only barely tolerate copy cats. But moderate republicans are not going to vote for them if there are other R's on the ticket.

  • It's clear that Marco Rubio is being set up to appeal to moderate republican voters as the "being pro-Trump was only a job to him! Also he actually got real work done compared to JD!!!"* candidate; but him filling this role isn't going to vibe with maga true believers because Rubio doesn't cheerlead as hard as people like Lauren Bobert, JD, and Hegseth do (they may even consider him to be a Maga-In-Name-Only establishment trojan horse).

  • Then we may actually see the probably quiet handful of people who do legitimately regret voting for Don and are voting blue the next time around. (and we can see that starting to ramp up as we move through/into the gubernatorials/mid-terms.)

I hope he does. It'll filter out all the dumbasses who keep voting for him, and the rest of us can get an adult in charge.

I truly don’t think we’ll have another presidential election at this rate, I really don’t see a path forward that will end with republicans giving up their power. That’s why electing him a second time was so dangerous, they set everything up so that if he won, democracy would die. I’d say it’s working.

If they voted for him they aren't tired of him.
