Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

While the statistics are terrifying, I would make the argument that trump won't last 31 more years: and on one else in his entourage has the... thing (the thing I still don't understand.) that actually makes him popular. His orbit is full of absolutely hated people that everyone else will refuse to cooperate with.

If nothing else, the power vacuum when trump dies will be as destructive as trumps term in general.

I call it anti-charisma. He's so uncharismatic that it loops back around.

Here's hoping, but let's not forget that Trump is only a figurehead. He's openly admitted that he doesn't know what's going on in his own administration. The Heritage Foundation exists independently of him, and they're the ones that have actually been doing the work in the background.

The purpose of the cult was to vote his puppetmasters into power; now that they're there and can corrupt future elections, the cult itself is less important. Some of them (both inside and outside Washington) will absolutely turn on each other, but they're not going to suddenly switch sides and become Democrats, nor will the establishment Dems suddenly grow a spine.

True, but the heritage foundation doesn't have (enough.) power without trump. They might be independent, but it is a symbiotic relationship. And they don't have to become democrats for progress and sanity to win: they just have to fight each other enough to cancel out.
