100% correct. Trump doesn't care about Republicanism, he doesn't care about MAGA. He cares about himself. The problem the Left has is they still can't see that the real threat are the people surrounding Trump, enabling his every whim. They won't be MAGA but they will be the face of the Republican party moving forward. That's scary. And a lot of Trump voters will excuse them for supporting poor Trump policies. 2028 will be a closer race than many on the Left believe.

My only hope in our (for now) near collapse is that the MAGA movement is a bunch of disparite fringe groups who bend to Trump because he's a selfish, malliable idiot with no agenda for himself other than 'give me money and tell me I'm awesome'

Put a competent idiot like Vance or Pence in there leading the charge and the religious right will suddenly be controlling the other groups.

Suddenly the billionaires, the pedophiles, the racists, the Qannons, the anti vac, the poor, the Nazis will all feel left out.

I think the religious right will always have the pedophile vote. Religion is the only system that promises to let them walk free; put pedophilia on the same level as any other sin, and the promise is that no one may judge you thanks to the forgiveness you received privately.

Preach. But there's a different set of weirdos running those camps. The true believer grifters with their megachurch bullshit and the rich weirdos who scam workers out of millions wilhile doing coke and raping young women. Their Interests only align soo much

I dunno… the religious right seems to be made up of the groups you said will feel left out.

You can already see the 'dont trust the gov' weirdos like Margery Green breaking from the MAGA umbrella, as the fscists are looking to consolidate power with the government.

It's being held together by lots of money and a very malliable dictator that's dumb as a rock.

Anyone with an agenda or personality will cause friction.

If Democrats (or a faction within them) could do their own Fireside chats, we’d be in a lot better place two years down the line.

It's sad that the only people doing this are the comedy shows.

That’s what Mamdani’s shorts are accomplishing. I think he’s found the right idea — people generally do not want policy explained to them. With legislation they just want to know (a) whom it’s benefiting and (b) how much they’ll be paying.

This is why it’ll take a long time for universal healthcare to pass… people can be shown the benefits time and again and they’ll just say “this will just encourage people to be unhealthy or take risks”. Like as though unhealthiness and other costs aren’t through the roof already?? But if a more talented politician running for national office can get through to these dumb fucks then it’ll happen.
