Being completely insane, conspiratorial, out of their minds, divorced from reality?

If they embrace Trumpism, they turn off the moderates and inspire Dem voters. Republicans lose all future elections.
If they shun Trumpism, the Qult stays home or votes "MAGA" party. Republicans lose all future elections.

If they weren't dumb enough to think spending every waking hour since Nixon turning their base into a cult was brilliant strategy, they'd probably have a way out of this. But they brought this on themselves.

They are grasping at the insane stupid trump fanbase though. Their regular voters are getting too old and will die out sooner rather than later.

It's an impossible problem really. You have to be pretty stupid to be a republican unless you're insanely wealthy, and if you're that stupid you're going to believe in conspiracy nonsense. If you're not stupid but you're amoral you're going to use conspiracy nonsense to destabilise dems, because when the country is in chaos the rich consolidate power.

The apocalypse happened, yet the votes were still spit essentially down the middle.
Core fanboys are immovable - it's only the fickle margins that matter.

The party has a couple years to work out what its "bastion" really is.

Dems are so dumb. This is the new "Trump is finished!" They think the shit that makes them mad about republicans make republicans mad about republicans too. No! By and large they don't give a shit! If they gave a shit they wouldn't have been a republican in the first place.

Lost them everything? We barely beat them this time, and that galvanized them into a murderous terrorist mob. It's going to take a lot to keep the Senate and I don't see taking the house. Country's in its death throes

They didn't lose "everything" if they made gains. Q republicans in congress should be a concern. They aren't "costing" republicans anything. They weren't voted out of thin air, you know who got them here? Hint: It's republicans

What lost them the election was how terrible Trump was. People are going to go back to not caring once we get regular politicians again.

The support amongst their base is pretty damn high conspiracy theories and all. Trump gave the GOP a lifeline after they floundered in 2012 and was able to help forward the party goals despite them being generally unfavorable even amongst GOP voters. It is why they lost but at the same time why they're still performing well.

Even if this wasn't wrong (it was 74 million, which is a fairly big difference), it also got 81 million people to vote for Joe fucking Biden.

the primary reason the GOP is latching on to trump politics so hard is that he pulled so many voters into the party, and a very large portion of them were people that never vote. the only way to keep them coming back is to embrace the crazy.

Republican elected officials, by definition, haven't lost. These are the ones still with jobs. And largely they come from red states or gerrymandered safe red districts where the biggest threat to their job security is a primary from a Republican who will praise Trump more than them.

Additionally, they have severe constraints on the sorts of economic policies they can offer voters, and as such have to find alternative methods of generating enthusiasm. Trumpism has proven useful for that purpose.

you guys have been on a seesaw for decades so it'll factually turn back to red regardless of what events will transpire.

i do think it's hilarious that trump is the first 1 term president in the same amount of decades.

if it wasn't tragic af then i'd call it a successful sociopolitical experiment xd

How do the "winners" still manage to be this bitter and angry? Have you already lost faith in papa Joe?

And it wasn't that long ago you guys thought Trump went to Russia to have hookers pee on him because that would somehow help him win the election. We remember the insane and hysterical reaction to Trump.

Being realistic about future expectations isn't the same as being bitter. The percentage of Biden voters who are in a deranged cult that thinks everything he does is perfect and a new awakening for America is much smaller the the percentage of Trump voters who think like that so I see how you could be confused at this being a reaction to winning an election

Pretty sure it was covid, otherwise Trump very likely would have remained president if things remained as they were pre covid.
