What happens to the MAGA cult when dumb Donald is gone?

[silentkisser]

What happens when Trump is gone....is a very interesting question. I see a few scenarios. Let's look ahead and imagine he loses another election in November and/or goes to prison. Will the remaining GOPers try to regain control of the party and try to make it more centrist, or will the extreme side continue to hold sway. In either case, could a third part form? One for the MAGA and others for the more moderate GOP (or what passes for moderate now...).

Basically, we've seen a lot of right-leaning and centrist voters reject Trump and MAGA principles, and there is a strong change this will continue. So, I guess MAGA either burns itself out or re-invents itself to be relevant. Let's face the fact that the MAGA crowd has made this Congress the least productive EVER. They have passed so few bills and historically ousted a speaker from their own party....Failed an impeachment vote in their first kick at the can, succeeded despite dubious reasoning to do so...And let's not get into the Biden impeachment debacle....

Bottom line, it appears that MAGA just isn't good at governing, and I think many Americans are realizing that.

Now, there is obviously a chance that things can get worse. Say, some red states deciding to go it alone....and a civil war could brew in that wake. And, let's face the other fact that MAGA is pushing for Christian Nationalist agenda, which destroys the separation of Church and State. It could get really messy down there. And it is obvious that the Trump effect has basically allowed his followers to show off how deplorable they truly are...

It lives on...............BTW- There is another hand, a mouth, a cock and an ass hole dancing around independently out there as well. The dangerous thing is that each one does not know what the others are doing.

I still can't believe that Americans are stupid enough to re-elect that piece of feces, but if they do, they deserve the madness that will ensue. The Repugs are all in on destroying democracy, fixing elections, racism and homophobia. If Trump fails, they will be in shambles. I mean MTG has all the charisma of a bucket of puke.

We have a lefty POS in office here and a lefty POS in the states
I still can’t believe you snowflake soy boys will sill vote liberal/ dem even tho these two assholes have destroyed our countries

There is nothing new about maga. The stable genius is simply voicing and giving license to others to voice their xenophobia, racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, antisemitism, anti white immigration etc. among the gop. He has allowed what was in the dark to come out.

add to that the anti democratic, pro Russia, Christian fundamentalist, obtain and keep power at all times and you have today’s gop. Sad.

Assuming 65% ( roughly our rate) of Americans get off the couch and vote. And the 75 million Americans that voted for him in 2020 ( probably 2016) and roughly the same number that voted Dem and loonie lefties ( they flipped roughly 45-47%)

Holy shit I didn’t realize so many Americans were racist rednecks and pod eating loonie lefties at colleges.

Ross Perot and the tea party however are well documented. I think some refer to them as Harbingers or Omens. That didn’t get off the starting line.

Shame his base is only way way larger and way more pissed now.

This is what you should be concerned with...

Everybody knows Joe is old and makes verbal gaffes, but nobody thinks he's a fanboy of Vladimir Putin!

Trump has kept up his old, creepy affections for Putin

The Trump party’s failure to support Ukraine is a threat to involve U.S. troops in a war to halt Russia’s advance.

You think more pissed than the Dem base knowing

1) women having their rights taken away by abortion laws and add in the Alabama fiasco that even has Trump scared
2) trying to make it harder and harder for non repug minorities to vote
3) leading an insurrection and threatening democracy
4) making fun of blacks thinking he's a stand-up comedian
5) stopping help arriving in the way of funds to the border
6) forbidding funds from being released to Israel and Ukraine to help Putin

I can go on and on but I don't want to be mistaken for you! LMAO sorry, couldn't resist.

Now what should I be today? I know, a fireman. Chicks love Firemen.

I work with a lot of MAGA/Trump Supporters and one thing is for sure, most are loyal to Trump only and not the GOP. So once he is gone it spells real trouble for the GOP, and catering to every wish and demand of Trump doesn't help. The more unhinged Trump got, the more the GOP and right-wing got unhinged to keep the MAGA cult base happy. Now I don't believe either the GOP or Fox fake can pull these people back into what resembles a normal political party. The way I see it, MAGA will either destroy American democracy(Trump wins) or destroys the GOP.

It does seem much more like a cult of personality than a political movement.
There are no policies or plans to the movement for anyone to take over.

 

[glamphotographer]

Sorry to say this but if Fox Fake News is on air, the Trump cult is alive and well even with Dumpty is gone.

 

[TomFord1980]

As MAGA continues to purge the party of anyone not loyal to their orange god-king, the party shrinks to only cult members. MAGA is not driven by ideology or even principles, it's a cult of personality driven by rage, anger and hatred. In most cases MAGA isn't even concerned with governing, just maintaining and gaining power.

So what happens anytime a cult leader dies, will it splint or create it's own party. One thing is for sure, MAGA/Trump supporters will want someone also in the mode of dumb Donald. Someone who can play upon their perceived grievances and anger with a touch of charisma.

Everybody should know the old GOP is dead, it's not Reagan's party anymore. It's a party driven by the right-wing media industry, who preach a diet of lies, propaganda, fear and hatred.

I could tell you either weren't too bright or just downright ignorant when you said that MAGA doesn't have an ideology.

Not sure if you know but MAGA stands for "Make America Great Again". This means putting America first, rather than sending taxpayer money to fight proxy wars overseas. It is in contrast to the democrats' globalist agenda.

Man I should be getting paid for this.

Now, off to see my favorite escort for a knobwash. Goodnight gentlemen.

I see the MAGA faction creating a cult waiting for the second coming of Trump.

I am pretty sure destroy doesn't mean what he thinks it does.

Bummer that Biden's foreign policy has made that quite likely now.

I think you are right on the mark. There is a book called Everything Trump Touches Dies, and he brings receipts. Lindsey Graham said Trump would destroy the GOP, and I think he's right. I would not be shocked if they formed a third party of extremists. I think they'd win some seats and probably hurt future GOP presidential candidates....but they couldn't govern their way out of a wet paper bag...
