We have Nazis and Nazi-lite -> MAGA
We have brown shirts -> ICE.
We are blaming immigrants and believing white people are somehow superior.
Now we just invaded a country, and say we will invade others.
What’s happening here… It feels strange. Is anyone else seeing this?
He is their charm to his base, there is no one else to replace him right now. Not to say that they couldn’t come up with someone later, but I don’t see anyone that could right now.
Every time someone says something like that I really feel we need to remind people that like a year and a half ago these morons are walking around with cups of JD Vance cum. Proudly. The bar is so much lower than you think it is. They’ll latch on to who’s ever handed to them.
Do you really think their voters would abandon them in sufficient numbers to actually matter? I got the impression that a lot of them already think that he’s a dick, they just support “his” policies (e.g. he never made much of an effort to make himself look like a devout christian, despite his decidedly christofascist policies that were obviously popular with evangelicals). And considering all the gerrymandering, voter suppression and the outright election fraud that Trump bragged about (which happened while a Democrat was president), they’d have to abandon the GOP in truly massive numbers.
A lot of his base just lost their healthcare and they have no jobs or money. Government jobs are a social program with extra steps and less of the shitty rep. Guess who just lost a lot of their funding and were fired? There are going to be serious repercussions this time.
Those voters won’t leave the GOP, but come election day they’ll stay home for whoever replaces Trump. Consider, if Vance steps in, he gets all the blame, for all the things, overnight.
Ever seen a cult leader successfully replaced?
This has been growing for Decades. Not years, not a decade, but more than half a century at least. Trump is just the latest in a long line of populist conservatives leading the charge against sanity.
