Could Trump be our last president on the right?

Hey! You can’t smoke in here!

Vape?

Vape?

It won’t hurt Pence but it’ll kill you.

 

[Pommer]

It won’t hurt Pence but it’ll kill you.

That’s the plan, Stan.

I certainly hope that the Republican Party can pull itself back together after Trump, so that I can go back to thinking of it as the party for political conservatives, rather than the party for fans of crazy conspiracy theories.

My worry is that the leaders who could do that have left.

 

[whatbogsends]

Or when will the leftists take complete control of the united states ending the right?

He might be the last President for quite a while.

 

[Hans Blaster]

My worry is that the leaders who could do that have left.

It would seem that way in the GOP. The remaining 'leaders' don't really seem like leaders at all. Some are clearly in the thrall of Trump, but most are probably just craven politicians either using Trump base of supporters for their own purposes or are too scared of the backlash from Trump's core supporters if they speak out.

Their will be *a lot* of repositioning once he loses. It should be quite the show. There have been some minor repositioning among current politicians, but not much yet.

 

[Hans Blaster]

That’s the plan, Stan.

No need to be coy, Roy.

 

[cow451]

No need to be coy, Roy.

 

[Yttrium]

Yeah.

Sigh.

 

[DaisyDay]

No need to be coy, Roy.

Just set yourself free.

I bet that Trump will be our last real president. Yes.

 

[Albion]

It wasn't "invented" in China, it just originated there.

You may need a little bit of catching up.

 

[Hans Blaster]

You may need a little bit of catching up.

Sure, man, sure.

 

[Halbhh]

I bet that Trump will be our last real president. Yes.

Dark forecast.

What Trump makes me think of: how Israel was to suffer for their turning their hearts away from God and making their religion only an empty show and failing to do the central, key things the Lord wants from us:
Isaiah 1:17 learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause."

Since they refused, and made their religion just empty false show, He would bring punishment on the rebellious nation, including this way:
Isaiah 3:4 "I will make mere lads their leaders, and children will rule over them."

Obama was the United States' last president.

Trump won't be the last president on the right. They'll always be a "right" on the political spectrum. (And, no, Biden winning won't end free elections.)

Trump *could* be the last *Republican* president. I certainly see possible outcomes that result in the Republican Party either shattering or becoming a [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] party consisting of the strongest MAGA adherents while the rest of the conservative movement decides to go their own way and end up in a new conservative party.

Honestly, if the Republicans were able to survive Hoover, I expect they can survive Trump.

The Republican Party will have to move towards the center to have any reasonable chance of winning future elections.

Trump's campaign strategy--telling white people they have good genes and that he will keep blacks out of their suburbs and immigrants out of their country--won't work. His strategy for youth--having said that people earn "too much" and attacking Social Security, Medicare, universal health care, labor unions; having a Secretary of Education who has financial interests in student loan companies and is demanding students' pounds of flesh even when their schools go out of business or fail to live up to their responsibilities.

Young people don't want to be hanging on by their fingernails as income inequality squashes their dreams. They don't want Trump's social conservatism (i.e. do as Trump says, not as he does.) They don't want fossil fuels, air and water pollution, climactic disasters like forest fires and hurricanes.

The Republicans have had a strategy. Voter suppression. Gerrymandering. Trump's traveling road show shouting gloom and doom.

If Biden wins, as predicted, he will encourage voting. More votes help Democrats. And as time goes on there will be too many blacks, immigrants, and young people for the Republicans to win elections on hate, division, and an anti-millenial agenda.

So yes, Republicans will survive. They will be more centrist, like Republicans of old I admired---Jacob Javits, John Danforth, Nelson Rockefeller. Democrats will also become more progressive, more like Sanders and AOC.

Or we could stick with the current Republicans and watch as Miami goes underwater.
