I wouldn’t be so sure. We can’t afford to get complacent. GOP corruption won’t go anywhere unless corruption is prosecuted. Underestimating the power of the conservative media machine to launder the shitty politics of the GOP is unwise. Things aren’t business as usual. I also don’t think a third party can be successful until we actually reform our campaign finance laws. The last viable third party was a century ago, and campaign finance laws were MUCH stricter then than they are now
They’re living in a delusion - one of their own making. I suspect this is because they consider themselves MAGA as part of their identity rather than because they have thought out the policies it puts forward. The Iran war has made it harder for those MAGA people to support the government, and so has the Epstein stuff. When Trump dies and the principle of consistency no longer applies, I think they’ll fold. They probably won’t switch parties right away - just stay home on election day.
