What happens to the Republican Party now? (4 Viewers)

[MT15]

This election nonsense by Trump may end up splitting up the Republican Party. I just don’t see how the one third (?) who are principled conservatives can stay in the same party with Trump sycophants who are willing to sign onto the TX Supreme Court case.

We also saw the alt right types chanting “destroy the GOP” in Washington today because they didn’t keep Trump in power. I think the Q types will also hold the same ill will toward the traditional Republican Party. In fact its quite possible that all the voters who are really in a Trump personality cult will also blame the GOP for his loss. It’s only a matter of time IMO before Trump himself gets around to blaming the GOP.

There is some discussion of this on Twitter. What do you all think?

I know, but before Walker, OJ was the best college back I ever saw. I would have said OJ anyways. No implication that Walker is a killer or a low life like OJ, is meant.

Sorry, I knew what you meant. I was just accentuating your point that just because an athlete was great doesn't mean he should be a senator. Bill Bradley may disagree, but he was a Princeton grad with a degree in history. He was active in politics before his career ended. OJ, my point, took it the other way. And after seeing a few clips of Walker's interviews lately, I found humor in your comparison and a comical similarity to OJ; not implying murder to be clear.

i knew what you meant

if I remember right Walkers ex wife has made some abuse claims though

I've heard some crazy stuff about Walker but wasn't aware of any domestic abuse. Too bad.

You've said enough. The past
voting pattern might change though. People see the way Trump characterized Putin in a positive way in the past and maybe they will surprise you and turn on him.

Ha....here it is.
I told you Trump might not have as much support as before.
He has noticeably smaller crowds.

Maybe this is why.

Maybe this is why.

He may have a cult following who are now not willing or able to just follow him around....but in a hypothetical future election, he'd hopefully lose.
Even better would be if his advisors convinced him of that...and he'd not even try.
Hahaha
Wishful thinking on my part.

Hard to say

For every article I’ve seen saying Trump’s power and influence in the GOP is waning I read another saying it’s higher than ever

As far as crowd size, it’s six months before mid terms, not surprised they’re smaller

If the crowds are this size in April 2024 after he’s declared he’s running, then that will say something

I like seeing that, I mean... . I can almost believe it... .

I would like to see that reported on at some place other than Huffingtoon Post.

 

[Sandman]

Maybe this is why.

I was trying to figure out why someone would go to 45 rallies. Then I recall going to a couple of comic-cons and how much fun they were. Being around likeminded people having fun. I think that Trump is their version of comic-con.

 

[V Chip]

Eh, no it's not. Maybe Trumpism or even Republican, but not conservatism.

Yeah, that's why it said "95%"

 

[SteveSBrickNJ]

Well

I like seeing that, I mean... . I can almost believe it... .

I would like to see that reported on at some place other than Huffingtoon Post.

Fox News is not gonna report that.
Chris Wallace would have...but he's unfortunately gone.
MAYBE Brett Baier would bring it up if it fit into something he was reporting on anyway.

Like minded like this?

And yet - we still have mainstream Republicans repeating the Big Lie:

Yep it’s top down messaging.

I’m sure you would love to pretend it isn’t happening. This isn’t irrelevant, much as you would like to think so. Trump’s influence cannot really be waning if he can get so-called “normal” republicans to repeat his Big Lie. It’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen a political party do in this country, pretending that free and fair elections were rife with fraud.

I will not apologize for calling out this un-American nonsense being perpetrated by Republicans in service to Donald Trump.

I would suggest that Kay Ivey is not a normal Republican. Not by a longshot. She's not MTG bad, but that's a low bar.

That said, not enough average Republicans are speaking out against Trump and his minions. I'm not a big fan of Liz Cheney, but she would be light years better than Trump for the Republican nomination if she runs for President. Anything to get Trump out of the party, I'll vote for.

I know there were instances against Sarah Huckabee Sanders and the woman (can’t remember her name) running health & human derives during the “kids in cages” scandal, both members of the trump administration

I‘ve read about several businesses with similar blanket statements (and posted about them on PDB and I think a couple here)

But all the ones I’ve read about are always right wing

anyone know of any instances of the other way around?

a restaurant with a sign on the front door saying if you voted for Trump you aren’t welcome here?

a hardware store saying “think putting Amy coney barrett on the Supreme Court was perfectly fair? screw you and buy your screws somewhere else”?

a dentist advertising that she only cleans righteous liberal teeth?
=====================================

A sign allegedly posted on a Georgia business blasts Joe Biden voters and blames them for increased costs and an employee shortage.

It was posted Sunday on Reddit's "Anti-Work" forum and has been upvoted over 38,000 times. The creator of the thread, who asked only to be referred to as Tina, goes by the username TieredTrayTrunk and told Newsweek that she did not photograph the sign but lives nearby the establishment.

The sign, posted on the window of the Appalachian Grill on East Church Street in Cartersville, Georgia, says "NOTICE!" with a long message that reads: "If you voted for Brandon's Build Back BS and don't have remorse or regrets I wish you would leave, I don't need your business.

"Your ignorant, naive decision has more than doubled our costs of goods and depleted our labor force by more than triple," the sign continued. "If this is what you consider to be building back better I don't care to look at or serve you, nor should any other restaurant!"

The use of "Brandon" in the wording refers to Biden and dates back to an October 2021 NASCAR race at the Talladega Speedway in Alabama. It has become a widely used phrase among conservatives, including on signs and in memes, meant to disparage the president and his supporters.

Tina said she was once in the establishment "years ago" but not any time recently. She said multiple individuals in her community have confirmed the establishment as the one that posted the sign, but it's allegedly not new.

"This is not the first sign that they've had up," Tina said. "Through COVID they've had several signs at different times that blame liberals for various things."……..

The message to patrons also mentions Build Back Better legislation, which to this day has not been approved by Congress.
