Will the Democrats be able to let go of Trump when he’s gone?

He’s been their entire identity for 10+ years. With the impending nonstop investigations and impeachment attempts of Trump, which will surely be their primary focus the next 2 years, will they continue their witch hunt when he’s gone?

No, they will be talking about him through the next election cycle or 2.
After that, they will find another boogie man.

That’s actually a pretty good question. If they can, then I think it’s possible for them to reallly cement a hold on congress and possibly the presidency. If they cannot then i think it can and obviously will be used against them. Trumps return in 2024 had a lot to do with the lawfare they enacted against him. Going after former leaders is always a bad look.
It’s why I think Trump may pivot more to helping them enact their agenda.

That's an interesting point. They've invested so much into him being the object of their fury and now that they've neutered him.....almost, there will be a let down. The other question is where do the Republicans go from here. They've basically had the same ideological bent since Reagan and it has been not serving them really since 2008. MAGA was an internal reaction that had no underpinning in terms of a philosophy....only a character.

Fair point, but will the republicans be able to distant themselves from his legacy as well? Because the same can certainly be said about him being their identity for the last 10 years as well.

No and people in this board will continue blaming Trump for everything.

The only way the next candidate won't be able to is if the Democrats continue to bring up Trump like he's the one running.
But that's not going to help Democrats doing that.

I think that’s why Green retired in TX and the money went to Taliarico. They knew in order to win they couldn’t have a platform solely based on bashing and blaming Trump. They also needed someone who wasn’t ghetto ratchet hood rat. There will still be plenty of pandering and TDS from the left, but the messaging likely cools off in ‘28, at least in states they want to keep blue.

Dems still bitch about Nixon and Reagan, and Hoover was a punching bag until Eisenhower. They’ll invoke OMB through the middle of this century.

DJT will always be on their docket, they will be chipping away at everything the GOP has accomplished.

The goal won’t be to distance themselves from Trump. They’ll just move on. to the present day’s agenda. The republican bench is deep. I think it will be a breath of fresh air to get back to traditional conservative values instead of the populism that was Trump.
