This is the moment for Republicans to choose between deciding to break themselves free from this maniacal hold Trump has had on them or seal themselves inside the tomb he has built for them, they will either turn the cannon on themselves or move forward without the shackles of Trumpism around their ankles?
The nearly 167-year-old party is divided over the typically mundane congressional certification of President-elect Joe Biden.
Trump’s hold over his adopted party has been all but absolute in his time in office, and continues to this day. He has defied GOP orthodoxy, shattered the norms of the presidency and publicly attacked Republicans who dared cross him. But for a few outliers, the Republican Party has remained lockstep behind him.
Even if Trump opts against a campaign, in 2024, he has signaled he wants to play kingmaker and shape GOP politics in the years ahead. If he does, the Republican Party could continue to shape itself in his image.
It is likely he will have as much hold over the party as he wants to. He still has the support of his base, white Christian nationalist, and other fringe elements of our society, that he has managed to bring together as one. If he wants to keep being a player for himself or those carrying his message, he will certainly be powerful and the party will have to react.
If someone knows the truth and still believes in lies, it is an act of nothing but stupidity. If one thinks that by the process of believing in lies, he can avoid the problems, it is foolishness and sometimes, he can end up in a deep and serious problem, which could be avoided if he had taken the corrective measures at the right time.
Is there a Shadow Republican Party? Did Trump created a shadow Republican Party, or did a Shadow Republican Party create Trump?
