I'm Donald Trump

My entire life has become a constant state of appeal. Appeal the gag order. Appeal my appearance in court. Appeal trial dates. Appeal secret service agent George’s decision to go to Burger King for dinner and not McDonalds. It never ends

It doesn’t matter if my lawyers think “it would be a waste of our time to file that with the court”, judge Cannon is an excellent arbiter and burger kings fries are terrible. She’d would absolutely side with me on this one. I’m filing it

Hey do you want to hear all about the Virginia class nuclear submarine and how it can carry 12, five megaton nuclear ICBM’s with a range of 7,500 miles while traveling at 34 knots submerged and comes with our new underwater stealth and soundproofing technology? Because if you do, you’ll have to go ask Angela in accounting to tell you all about it. I’m not allowed to anymore

theres actually a federal regulation saying that 34 knots is the fastest a nuclear submarine is allowed to travel, google "rule 34 knot sub" to learn more

WHEN I AM PRESIDENT AGAIN I WILL ORDER A DRONE STRIKE ON YOUR HOUSE

Donald trumps vanity and personal image is far too important to him for me to not criticize

Also, “toupussy” is simply hilarious, and that wasn’t even me

And in a dramatic turn of events, Republicans have decided that terminating something 8 months after its conception is the right move

Today is a great day to quote Lindsey Graham. “If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed... and we will deserve it”

Donald trump has, in less than a decade, split the Republican Party into two factions: those who are willing to recognize, fear, and object to what the party has become, and those who are hell bent on embracing it with zealous extremism.

The Republican Party is dying a slow, painful death at the hands of Donald trump. And this is just one step closer to its burial.

I disagree, only because I haven't seen Republicans push back very much against that second group. It's more like the zealous extremists and the ones who aren't that but aren't interested in stopping them at all. They aren't willing to recognize and criticize because they all still think that if they get on the feral hog's back, they'll be the one to finally be able tame it.

Like, once Trump is the official nominee, watch how quickly they all fall in like behind the extremists. Kevin McCarthy himself will be out campaigning for him.

“We will get destroyed… and we will deserve it”

Republicans are the minority in this country. MAGA republicans are an even smaller minority. Throwing themselves further off the deep end into MAGA republicanism will only dig the party’s grave deeper. That’s what brought us to today. That’s what has alienated their voters. That’s what cost them 2018, 2020, and 2022.

Backing trump doesn’t do them any favors, it handicaps them. Severely. He an un-electable, 4 times indicted, 91 times charged, court proven fraud and tax evader who has fractured the party and is intent on driving the wedge deeper and deeper to fulfill his own narcissistic desires

Ditching him throws the party into complete chaos, because he’s all they’ve got.

It’s a cluster fuck of a lose-lose situation for the Republican Party, and it’s all at the hands of one man: Donald trump

I'm not debating that. All of what you said in your reply is true. I'm only disagreeing with the idea that there are any republicans "who are willing to recognize, fear, and object to what the party has become." I don't see it. That quote from Graham is seven years old and in the interim he's done nothing but kneel at his altar. Maybe there's one or two here who often criticize the MAGA GOP. Or someone makes a snide remark when forget that a mic is hot. But aside from that, the party as a whole are the zealot extremists and a group of people who sit by and for the most part let the zealots do whatever they want.

Know what? That’s a fair point. But I’ll push back on one point. “The party as a whole”.

If we’re talking just the politicians, yes. You are absolutely correct. The politicians are determined to ride their zealotry and extremism to the bitter end. But in my mind, when I said “there’s republicans willing to recognize so and so”, I wasn’t just thinking of the politicians, but the average Joe Republican as well.

I’m of the opinion that there’s for more rational, understanding, and overall good natured republicans in this country than the politicians represent. People who understand that criminality doesn’t equal electability. People who can understand government dysfunction and gridlock doesn’t benefit the country. People who aren’t intent on taking a match to the progress this country has made and reverting us back to the 1950’s.

Average, decent people who align with the Republican Party, but no longer agree with it.

With extremism at the forefront, it’s easy to forget about those types of people. But they still have voting power. Whether they choose not to vote, vote independent, or vote 3rd party, they are what’s going to break the cycle. They are the ones with the power to end it, for all of us. Because this is America, and the people will always have the power. The politicians will only stick around as long a the people do.

What scares me the most, though, is that I could be wrong. And that’s a terrifying prospect
