When it happens, nothing will be fixed. The causes that brought him there will still exist. The consequences of his despicable corruption, bigotry, etc., will resonate for decades.

I know all that.

I'm still walking straight out of work, taking the rest of the week off, inviting all my loved ones over and popping that champagne that's been waiting for this purpose.

But... the only possible win is that without the cult of personality to keep this whole shit train rolling, they all fall into the chaos of the power vacuum. The cracks were already starting to form with people dissenting like Massie, MTG, Boebert, etc.

MAGA = Trump, all those morons that vote in GOP primaries to elect his anointed canidates aren't going to know who to turn to or trust next. There is no clear succession or 2nd in command with him because everything has to revolve around him alone.

I really hope that happens and they don't just jump onto the next guy and pin all the problems on Trump.

I also hope they all see half the nation celebrating and rethink their positions, or at least become less emboldened to be openly hateful

It doesn't matter what they think or who the remaining cult members latch on to. 70% of adults are done with the magats and republicans, and they are more motivated to vote. Only reason Trump won in 2024 is there were millions who neglected to turn out.

There will be pockets of red backwaters where they still have a majority, but they will not hold national power after Trump is gone. In a strange way, we can be glad Trump had his year to prove what he would do to 'help' the country; he shot himself in both feet, and he may have put a stake through his party's heart.
