Bro, the Republican party is MAGA now. MAGA is movement bigger than anything seen before. I would argue it's in it's early stages.


Bruh, Reagan and Nixon wiped out the democrats in the electoral college. No republican has done so since. This was a very close election in terms of percentages. It is a divided country. And Trump has to do a bang up job for a republican to win in 2028.

Vance does


Vance is an interesting guy. I think he is the next in line.

But I bet you a thousand bucks these guys turn on Vance within 2 years.

That’s exactly the thing. And why a lot of us say, while you can punch at DeSantis for shaking hands with undesirables, Trump has to do the same. The extremes don’t realize or care to understand that. Trump 2.0 may accomplish a lot, but there will be some undesired handshaking. It’s politics.

It’s very akin to Rand in 2016. Both were some of the worst campaigns in recent memory, but both are extremely productive with their results.

Yeah and I think Rand and Ron both understand that that's the bargain that they're making
I actually will argue that its Elon as much as Trump but Trump recognized that Elon had the skills

I still think that Trump is making the executive decisions he's just letting go of more things and has better people making those decisions than in sixteen


I know a guy who's going to work at DOGE in a Exec position focused on infrastructure issues

As a reminder Trump had said in his first administration he was either going to overturn Obamacare or build up on infrastructure as his main priority he chose Obamacare and then failed to move the needle

infrastructure is an easy one for them to pick up on albeit without Biden's idiotic changes

It's Trump infrastructure draft 3.0

The dems have absolutely no bench and their donors do not trust them

The Republicans should have clear sailing for the next twelve years

Most people forget the quarreling between him and Elon in his first term. He saw Elon as a necessary beggar. I think these 4 years off let him and Elon regroup. Elon saw the government making a harsh turn, and Trump saw Elon as a great ally. It’s a perfect marriage.

I hope so. So I'm not going to think about it for three and a half years.

Yeah I think it's funny how so many of the Trump supporters who now love Musk like they are completely forgetting what he said during Trump's first administration


But theyre such purists

It’s been no secret that Trump’s team despises DeSantis and his team. Susie Wiles was recommended to run DeSantis’ gubernatorial campaign in 2022 and they didn’t get along, so she rejoined Trump and helped him plot his comeback.

Despises? On what do you base that rather provocative assertion? I believe you’re exaggerating quite heavily.

How’s this different than Ron kissing trumps arse and maga to then run against those same people?

A few of you love to criticize Trump for a lot of things and Ron is just as bad. It was funny though seeing people turn Ron into a Navy Seal who was gonna steal Iowa and then run the country.

I usually post this picture, because it was Trump showing their feud/bending the knee.

Can we just get to the inauguration before we dive in on all this shite? Let's see if RDS is invited?
