How dangerous is today’s Republican Party?

Since it's the Republicans (the Populist contingent) under Trump who want to challenge the entrenched Federal establishment, yeah, those loyal to the system do probably think the Republicans are dangerous. .

You mean the American system of democracy, right? Constitution and all that.

No I mean they are dangerous to the entrenched establishment in Washington. Let's say Trump gets elected in 2024 and purges as much as possible every federal agency of careerist bureaucrats because he can't trust them. That's a threat to them and thus they don't want Trump there.

This assumes Trump has learned his lesson that he cannot trust the federal bureaucracy.

Yep those suffragettes should have stayed in the kitchen where they belong - I mean the very idea of women getting the vote. Just shows what damage protesters can do. Much better to touch your forelocks and bow and scrape when your betters drive by and splash you with mud.

Trump cannot be trusted to do what exactly?

They are dangerous because they represent an actual potential challenge, where someone like Joe Biden who goes along with the system and simply does what he is told is not. They understand (what many Republican's don't) who their enemy is and that they need to undermine their enemy. Republicans would do well to have in mind that the establishment Democrats (and establishment Republicans) are the enemy who need to be removed from power. Conservatives need to understand their enemy and plan accordingly.

Republicans need to get their act together. Democrats are leading by 4 points in generic polls. If Republicans don't start focusing on issues voters care about there will be no red wave.

Trump cannot be trusted with power period. To do or say the right thing or not do or say the wrong think.

If Trump did the things the people who elected him like, then it would appear Trump can be trusted with power, at least for his side.

"Trump", "trust" and "power" are never words that should be used in the same sentence. But his people cannot see that. Just another indication of how sick our society has become.

Such sentiments could be expressed with many politicians and rulers. In the US it comes down to this question if you are on the right. Who is more likely to adhere to a conservative policy going forward? Trump or the establishment Republicans?

You're not wrong to say Republicans and Conservatives should fully support Trump, in as much as anyone should never fully support any ruler, but he at least gave the Republicans some lasting wins. Particularly on the supreme court. He could do even more next time by taking a chainsaw to the fed and cutting most of it down.

That will never be because the Dems only care about FREE. repubs want closed borders, no more dead babies, healthy economy and more. Since the Dems never agree it will never be.

What do you base that on?

See the left knows they can make fun of Trump...say all kind of things and get away with it. Old CIA calling Republicans the worst hes ever seen. Fake news said same kind of things. People (so very sad) even here say these things. They know they are safe. They know nothing will happen. Now say "Antifa BLM" and the like are the worst and you will get someone at your door. But say Republicans or Trump supporters..yeah yawn nothings going to happen. No 2020 500 riots. What Jan 6th a few hundred did crimes (fact not all were Trump supporters) yet haha that gets amped to the 80 million Trump supporters are the worst.

Whats written about love in the end days is waxed cold is not about sinners but all. We witness it from the world and believers. I know what some Dems have done in Washington and in States yet.. duh most Dems are not evil wicked bad. Nor are 90+ Trump supporters. They just like what they man said wanted to do with America. Just like people did with every other president. Just with Biden.. oops

Both have radicals. Trump is a threat to some people. They are fearful because he takes charge and gets things done. They also are fearful of losing so much free stuff that the Dems pass out.

..because they are all believable given Trump's insane behavior. He should have never held public office.

Calling anything that contradicts your worldview "fake news" indicates an unwillingness to think outside your own (possibly narrow) views.
