    I hate that our greatest hope is that the guy is 80 and has shit health.

    Clearly the people aren’t going to actually do anything besides disapproving looks and politely asking him to stop ignoring the law and constitution.

          Motherfucker thinks it’s only Trump and not the US Empire that’s the problem. Go read a book.

            Actually the current split is closer to 4 groups. Reagan Republicans, Tea Party Republicans, MAGA diehards, and Fuentes Right. The number of real MAGA diehards is difficult to determine but I think most of them are actually members of the other three groups pretending to be diehards to gain favor with the president.

            With the president’s death you’re gonna see the diehards split into the Vance and the Eric / JR camp. The other three won’t support Vance or JR and put up other candidates. Or a total split of the party.

            I think something similar is happening to Democrats with Mainline Dems and Social Democrats, but this will be more like the original Tea Party split than what the right is doing.

              They’re all capitalists. Literally every single faction you mentioned. The us will not cease committing atrocities under any feasible future leadership because the us will never allow socialist leadership. Hell, that’s probably the most consistent part of the us government going back more than a century.

              3 of those groups are essentially the same and the 4th is just moved to the dnc, see senator cias state of the union rebuttal where they just go full we need to be like Reagan.

              The 3 are the same because they all want to dismantle the state it’s only a difference on which corporation gets money.

              If trump dies it’ll just be like the 2024 republican presidential primary where they compete more to get visibility rather than actual power.

                I think there are two fracture points that will make 2028 a bad year for the united right. Epstein and Israel. If the files are ever substantially released you could see mass shifts in votes this midterm, and a fracture of establishment Republicans and new wave Republicans riding on them being too young to be in the files.

                Israel is the next breaking point, as the general public turns against Israel as a state, the blackmailed and bought politicians will be stuck in a sinking ship and farther right politicians will swoop in against them. Voters may also just vote third party instead of a bought out AIPAC politician.

      If all the lamenters in the US joined forces they’d have more people than J6 did. We can do it. We just need the will.
