In times of hyper-polarization in the past, the losing party has fractured and, thus, defused any danger of violence. Many historians predict that will happen now with the crazies splitting off into yet another crackpot third party.

They proclaimed independence, but they were just rehashed Rebootlicking idiots.

Not only are they not breaking up, they will be back in tremendous force in 2022 and without Trump to hamper them.

Historically, the party in power loses seats in the midterm, and that's 2022.

predicting doom in 2022. Anything can happen, it’s by no means certain that the GOP will gain.

Like the bird when I was 18. I realize now how lame that was. But mostly now I just browse. I understand the skepticism but honestly I'm just having fun and this feels harmless.

This is extremely cathartic.

"No. There are 70 million Trump voters, our job is to kick the RINOs out of the GOP and make them join the Rats where they belong."

"This massive fraud can’t be committed without approval from the GOP. Did the GOP know that there was going to be mail-in voting? Why yes, they did. Did they do anything to participate in it or counter it. And why no, they didn’t."

"For me, I am prepared to support the Republican Party if and only if the Republican Party supports Trump. Without President Trump, I have no party. This is the hill to die on. Don’t expect my vote in 2022 or 2024 if you don’t go all-in for President Trump."

"Trump should look into the possibility of forming his own political party. He should consider going on a rally tour across the country carrying the message that both the Media-Dem Party and the GoP have sold them out and betrayed them."

I'm enjoying their despair for now. Honestly this country is a disaster either way that I'm not certain can be fixed.
