Until there's some other jackass running for the GOP. Then it'll start all over again because orange man has set a new precedent.
If he loses the presidential race, the GOP is gonna be in really, really bad shape.
Trump could, if we are lucky, be the death rattle of the Republican party.
In an ideal world, that could break us out of the two party system. We probably won't get that lucky.
A man can dream…
Pretty sure he's going to lose like every GOP has for decades, it's just if the undemocratic institutions like gerrymandering and the electoral college will allow his votes to be privileged/worth more despite losing the public vote.
Idk. Trump is a symptom, not the illness. Once he's out of the equation, there are plenty of other neonazis to fill the vacuum.
I hope your right though.
A lot of the rightwing rats that have jumped ship have swam to the libertarian party, so maaaaaybe we'll see that grow to replace the GOP. I'd call that a best-case scenario: they're bat-shit crazy, but they at least stand for something other than contrarianism and hatred. The LP would make a more sane competition to the blue team.
I don't see that actually happening though. Cult 45 will just flock to some other dipshit like Desantis, and another election or two down the road we'll be doing the same ol' dance.
If he doesn't lose the rest of us are in far fucking worse shape
Just because Trump may be out of the picture, doesn’t mean the folks who watch Fox suddenly disappear into the ether.
Need to get rid of the ec and fptp voting to do that.
It won't happen with our two party system. We're stuck with the Republican party until the sun burns out.
Forever. When you convince people the other side are blood drinking child killers who want to commit "genocide" on the "white race" and brainwash their children, they are going to stop at nothing to try and destroy that other side.
When these people call Biden Satan, remember - they actually BELIEVE Satan is REAL.
Those same people called Obama the devil 'cause they could see it in his eyes.
Eyes was just code for skin
Trump doesn't have any big donors (that we know of) if he's this broke so they probably are done
For the most part, they’re not. The GQPs fundraising is WAY behind Biden’s.

I have more money than Donald Trump, as I’m solvent.
I’m only a multi-hundredaire, but fat boy is broke— sad! 😭
I had $36 in my account this week until my wife gave me some from hers.
I was a tendredaire and still richer than Donald Trump!
“Tendredaire”… 😂😆oh shit!😂
I ❤️ FlyingSquid
Thank you.
I also accept donations to pay my legal bills. I don't have any legal bills, but you are welcome to donate to pay them anyway.
ELI5... how is this legal?
I can assure you, they don't care. To them, laws are just for democrats, poor people, and minorities.
In reality, he's already facing dozens of criminal charges, what's one more? Plus, it's taken years for him to get charged for the stuff he already did, by the time justice actually catches up he'll probably be dead from a hamberder overdose or so far gone from dementia it won't matter.
he’ll probably be dead from a hamberder overdose
*hamberder
With a cup of covfefe.
Fixed. 🤣
Because you can fundraise for anything you want.
If you check Trump's campaign or the Super PAC's sites, they say that funds will be used for legal fees.
That disclosure is probably the only reason it’s legal. I don’t think it wouldn’t be there otherwise. They’re covering their asses.
Grifters gonna grift
Donald Trump’s new joint fundraising agreement with the Republican National Committee directs donations to his campaign and a political action committee that pays the former president’s legal bills before the RNC gets a cut, according to a fundraising invitation obtained by The Associated Press.
Surprised Pikachu faces all around the GOP
He chose to wear that hat. No one made him.
