It's entirely possible that MAGA is dead in six months.

The bench is like Gaetz, MTG, the hot Florida chick and maybe a handful of others.

Ron Paul, unofficial father of tea party movement, ran in 2012. Won Iowa, but they stole it from him.

Tea Party movement hurt when Fox News and Hannity hijiacked movement in 2009. Those of us “in” it saw it coming first hand. Really sucked, but what could we do?

That's fine, if it's what you need to hear for yourself.

This is the short path and remedy to your psychosis:

Repentance



You're welcome.

They'll shift like this malleable anti-Left movement does, like Gaetz did from 2018 when he voted to re-up FISA, until now when he's pretending he hate FISA.

I think they have a MAGA Civil War for a cycle, and those who survive will end up creating something new and redefine "conservative" for the 5th time since Clinton

That will be entertaining.

What will be hilarious are the frauds in "conservative" media struggling to survive without a click machine like Trump to talk about 24/7

The MSM media needs him just as much, if not more.

Is this the place for all the Anti Trump "conservatives" to meet up? Seems like you are all here.

Catturds income will go down drastically, Loomer will finally break, and Draino will crawl back to Hollywood

Not sure why you got downvoted so much. You are correct here

Conservatives can blame themselves though, for not giving their voters what they promised they’d deliver.


Bro, do you know who the average Republican voter is in 2024? They're all pulling social security checks. Congress is doing is exactly what ALL voters want. Perpetual raises for anybody on the government's payroll.

And thus we ended up with four groups.

Neocons who didn'r mind spending money as long as it was for war, and turned a blind eye to illegal immigration because it was a profit center for companies.

TEA Party who wanted smaller, libertarian government, but had no capacity to lead

Culture Warriors who only seem to care about social isues like anti-abortion

MAGA who has no desire to reduce government, but rather wants to use large government to punish their enemies, all while maintaining a show of expensive "vote yourselves the treasury" populism.

The TEA party numbers have shrunk over time, and here we are.

always difficult to 'lead' when you elect 'leaders' because they campaigned on issues like reducing illegal immigration and limiting foreign wars, and within three weeks of being elected are gagging on McCains penith and telling you "I won. Thanks. Now frick Off". Witness Tea Party darling Marco Rubio.
