I feel like the GA results are just going to cause each side to dig in deeper. Non-MAGA pubs will be way more convinced that MAGA is a bad direction for the party. On the other hand, Trump and MAGAs will just get madder and more determined not to give up because that's esentially who they are and what they do.

On the other hand, Trump and MAGAs will just get madder and more determined not to give up because that's esentially who they are and what they do.

And this is what will ultimately destroy the Republican party.  MAGA is even attacking Lindsey Graham after he said "challenging with zero proof is a political dodge versus fighting for Trump".  As MAGA digs deeper, non-MAGA Pubs will step away.  If the Loefflers of the world continue to get nominated as the party candidates, Democrats will continue to win.  Lindsey knows this as he received a huge wakeup call in his election. 

MAGA did not help their case with all the antics post election.  The self-inflicted blue wave might be around for a while.  I don't love it, but prefer over MAGA wave.

They MAGAs will continue to hitch themselves to a practically once in a generation confluence of factors that brought in trump. They seem to think (wrongly of course) they are the majority, when in 2016, especially looking back, enough people just took the gamble on trump just to say eff it let's see what happens. We have seen what happens, and anyone with sense jumped shipped and left the red hot core of magas by themselves.

I agree if the pubs continue to tolerate it (why not, it's practically them now) it'll destroy them. They are a group that doesn't add people it sheds it, and you can't win by constantly shrinking your pool of voters day over day, year after year. That being said, we'll see what 2022 brings, I am curious how quickly they pivot from trump happens 1/21/21. The more they dig in, the more they will suffer. They might be successful in moving away, but that's going to be a tough trick to do, but most magas are pretty stupid so it's possible.

I think a lot of magas never voted before Trump ran and they will likely go back to not voting.

I don't know how big of a shift we see on 1/21 from the Republicans.  The loudest voice to their base will continue to be Donald Trump and he isn't going leave the spotlight anytime soon.  Deep red states will continue to embrace him but he certainly will be damaging to moderates.

Maybe, but he also motivated people to vote against him.

If there’s one thing the totality of the last election told us is that there’s very little concern with multiple outcomes in the ProgLib camp.  The speaker needed every Rona super spreader to show up in person to scratch out keeping her GinOxy laden brain and hand shakingly latched to the gavel. 

Now she’s passing out a few committee crumbs to keep the far left lunatics placated and enraged at MAGA. 

Meanwhile ChiCom is firmly planting the kind of West Wing inhabitants that Kstreet, WalL Street, Big Pharma, Big Tech, perpetual war lovers and China know and love. 


But BidenVoter doesn’t understand nor does BidenVoter care.

It will be interesting to see if the GOP makes someone else minority leader after that speech.
