Lots of futility in this thread and I sure get that. But this time IS slightly different. Trump’s invincibility aura is gone, and the cuts are now making him bleed. The East Wing. The piggy comment. MTG flipping. Epstein files. Redistricting. Republicans are suddenly trying to put air between themselves and Trump, get MAGA to turn on Trump. The time for schadenfreude is nigh.
I’m sorry, but after everything we’ve seen over the last decade, this comment is WAY too optimistic.
Republican senators had the golden opportunity to rid their party of Trump at the tail end of his first term after he lost an election and incited an insurrection.
They didn’t.
The only hope I can see is that they recognize that at this point he could literally keel over dead any day and they may be planning their exit strategy. But I’m pretty sure that’s just “slide Vance in” and they don’t really need to do that until Trump is actually dead.
I’m sure they’re concerned about the mid-terms but I don’t think their strategy for improving their image before then is getting rid of Trump. I think they have other plans for that. They’ve hitched their wagon to him. And he owns the hearts and minds of every racist, sexist, ignorant piece of shit in this country. And there’s A LOT of those motherfuckers out there. That’s valuable to their party.

Give it two months they will all suck his balls and dick again and ask for afters. As long as you hate the same people it’s water under the bridge 🌉
