1. The Cult of Trump is still very much alive and well 2. Your hypothetical scenario would be strengthened with the inclusion of an actual candidate who could beat Trump in an upcoming Republican primary 3. And no, the “shrug” emoji is not a valid substitute
I’m not trying to piss you off, but I am trying to illustrate how thoroughly the Republican mainstream is still very much in thrall of Trump. They don’t see things the same way we do.
Anyone who still supports Trump in 2021 believes one of the following things:
1. Trump won the election 2. 1/6 was not a violent insurrection 3. The violence on 1/6 was Antifa’s fault 4. Even if none of the first three are true, they’re okay with it because Democrats are worse
If you see a TRUMP yard sign or truck flag in 2021, it means “I want him to steal the next one.”

When Trump dies, it’s gonna be like Henry Kissinger, or maybe Rush Limbaugh. The headlines will read WORLD’S BIGGEST ASSHOLE DIES. Sober-minded journalists will struggle to think of anything positive to say about the man while the masses rejoice and celebrate.
JURY SELECTION AT THE TRIAL OF THE WORLD’S BIGGEST ASSHOLE
LAWYER: Do you have any preconceptions about the World’s Biggest Asshole?
🔵: How could I not have any preconceptions about the World’s Biggest Asshole
LAWYER: Thank you for your time
LAWYER: Do you have any preconceptions about the World’s Biggest Asshole?
🔴: How could I POSSIBLY have any preconceptions about the World’s Biggest Asshole?
LAWYER: You seem promising, although the flamboyant fluttering of your eyelashes was probably unnecessary
GOP: Time to pick a SCOTUS judge who will rule against abortion
HERITAGE FOUNDATION: Please select any of our fine candidates
GOP: We’ll take that one
HF: OK
(Senate Hearing)
DEMS: Can you tell us how you feel about abortion
GOP: HOW DARE YOU IMPOSE IDEOLOGICAL LITMUS TESTS
D: The GOP is trying to make abortion illegal
R: SILLY DEMOCRATS! 😂 The Supreme Court only overturned Roe v. Wade to allow the states the freedom to decide for themselves
D: But you are describing the “freedom” to prevent other people from having them
R: That’s the best kind!
D: If ending Roe v. Wade was so reasonable, why didn’t Barrett, Gorsuch or Kavanaugh admit it at their confirmation hearings
R: It is unreasonable to expect judges to honestly answer questions from activist Senators who were clearly trying to stop abortion from becoming illegal
