A little thread about Trump and the GOP moving forward
The right is currently divided into two factions:
-Traditional Republicans (TR)
-Trumpists
Trump lost because some TRs rejected him
The GA Senate race was lost because some Trumpists rejected the GOP

It's similar to 2016 when the Bernie bros didn't show up for Hillary
What did Dems do? They embraced progressivism and wokeness and got the leftists onboard
So the question is what does the GOP do about Trump?

Trump generated a lot of votes from groups that have never embraced the GOP
Trump was also incredibly popular among Republicans during his presidency
A lot of Traditional Republicans came to like Trump because he gave them policies they liked and stood up to the left

Those on the right calling for Trump's head need to keep in mind that while Trump is fairly toxic at the moment, Trumpism resonates with a lot of people
If they reject Trump, I'm not really sure what their path forward is
Want to go back to Romney-ism? Or Paul Ryan-ism?

Also, keep in mind that Trump won't back down
If the GOP goes at him, he will go to war with the party and will succeed in primary-ing alot of traditional Republicans
His core is very loyal and will stand with him

And let's do a little whataboutism: The left still hasn't apologized for inciting the BLM riots...nope, they just keep doubling down
And to my knowledge, every single person on the right has condemned the storming of the Capital

While Trump shares in the responsibility for Jan 6th, how about MSM take some blame for ignoring concerns about voter fraud on the right?
Maybe if they'd done their jobs and debunked the main questions about election integrity, people might still have confidence in the system

Ultimately, I see no benefit to Republicans trying to cut him loose
It will be seen as legitimizing the criticisms of the left and the actions of big tech
It would be political suicide for the GOP

But if Republicans stick with Trump then how do you resolve the division between Traditional Republicans and Trumpists?
Find common ground: the progressive left which now controls all of our major institutions:
-Political
-Cultural
-Educational
-Big Business/Tech
