Two camps: people who realize Trumpism was corrupted from about 2017 onward, with a brief but high profile reversal in mid 2020, and the those who will embrace Trumpism 2.0 (mixture of Goldman Sachs, Kushner, Koch policies). At some point, they'll have to hash this out.
Here are some examples of Trumpism 2.0: Ja'Ron Smith, one of the leading proponents of criminal justice reform, got what he wanted and is jumping ship https://twitter.com/emeriticus/status/1324848664586686464?s=20
Gary Cohn: architect of the tax cuts plan. Before serving in the White House, he was president and COO of Goldman Sachs for 25 years. Cohn got what he wanted, jumped ship https://twitter.com/emeriticus/status/1325654316930228225?s=20
So fraud is real. It happened. But it's also true that the admin lost sight of the mandate. These things are not mutually exclusive.
If you're saying "none of this matters now because of fraud," you're probably also saying, "the admin did nothing wrong and therefore gary cohn, jaron smith and jared kushner did nothing wrong." So Trump pulls off a reversal.. then we repeat these mistakes again?
I don't want to live under Biden-Harris. But I also don't want to go through all this time and effort to just have Trumpism become a TPUSA meme
When people warned about this stuff before midterms, it was called improper because midterms were coming. Then they came, and it became improper in 2019 to make these criticisms, because election was a year away. It's never time to reflect on what we are doing wrong..
Here's another example: are you angry about big tech censorship? Then consider Derek Lyons, who kissed the boot of tech companies from within the WH and is part of the reason Twitter and FB are able to censor us now. Again... fraud is real but so is Derek Lyons
