Elected officials, donors and party figures who had stayed neutral or even opposed Trump in the 2024 GOP primary race are starting to flock to his side.
Trump has an absurdly loyal base. And he’s spent the better part of a decade filling the party with his people, rewarding his friends, and trying to destroy anyone who he perceives as even slightly disloyal.
A lot of influential Republicans want to be rid of Trump. But over time, those who tried to pushback have either been driven out or were coerced into obedience.
We were so close to bring rid of him too. The second impeachment had a real chance of resulting in a conviction and barring Trump from office. But enough of them were afraid of Trump’s followers that they didn’t want to risk voting to convict. And they didn’t think he had a chance of making a comeback, so they took the excuse that they didn’t believe you could continue the impeachment process once the president leaves office, and used that as their political cover to vote no.
They could have cast his ass into the fire, but instead the courage of men failed and now we gotta do this shit all over again.
Those little snowflakes have consistently cowered in fear every time they have received death threats from their own base, when speaking against Trump in the slightest way.
The prominent voices from the Dems have been getting death threats and even real physical attacks and literal linch mobs, and barely bat an eye.
But the bitch ass Republicans slink away with their tail between their legs every time their own mob even glances in their direction.
He has a large cult following. And he’s got the evangelicals under a spell. They absolutely believe he’s sent by God to do his work and restore their domain in the US. Never mind his generally ungodly behavior.
I think the evangelicals like him because he’s the antichrist and is going bring about the end of days so they can rapture up to heaven. The holy war in Jerusalem is giving them a prophesy boner right now.
Because he’s very vocal and very visible. While Trump takes all the ire and vitriol they can do all the fully heinous shit that actually makes a difference while very few people actually realize it.
It’s the same reason why the Democrats are so fixated on Biden: they’re both proven to be politically effective. They can raise funds better than alternatives, which the GOP especially needs. They’ve both been presidents, so they have the credentials and experience to do the job. And they both have strong name recognition.
It’s a basically a national prisoner’s dilemma where we’ve chosen to rat on each other and made things worse than if one side had stfu or both had cooperated.
Can someone help me understand why the GOP is so fixated on Trump?
It seems they could side step the shitstorm and wipe the floor with biden simply by choosing a younger more palettable candidate.

They don’t care about that shit. They see cruelty as strength, and nobody else in their party can even pretend to be more heartless and vile than him.
Propaganda. Works.
Ok?

Treason Trump was apparently chosen by God…to be a convicted sex offender.

Nah, evangelicals thought Obama was the antichrist.

He’s the rodeo clown of the republican party.
