To ensure NO Goper is elected anywhere

if a real video was brought forward with him in a kiddy porn act. But.....I'm not sure that wouldn't even do it.

And deprogramming someone is very difficult. Jim Jones did a favor by having his lemmings drink Kool Aid. I don’t think this one would do that. He’s way too narcissistic and even more demented. Our only hope is that he goes so far off the deep end that his handlers cannot prop him up enough to run for office.

Bleach, right? Just wait for the next pandemic, the R solution will undoubtedly be strychnine.

Babbling, crying, shitting himself, pissing himself, etc.

That would make most people say "that's enough".

I think.

And maybe a hot mic situation where he calls his followers trailer trash and hayseed rubes, etc., and goes on & on like that. Like the Andy Griffith character in A Face in the Crowd.

Probably still a large number that would say “Look what the mean Democrats have done to him!” with lots of tears in their eyes.

Nothing.

Remember that Trump is the produce of a reactionary, authoritarian GOP consumed by fear of positive, beneficial change, racism, bigotry, misogyny, and hate.
Perhaps in the coming decades sanity will return to the GOP, but this rightwing cult of madness will continue for the foreseeable future.

I’m a native Texan proudly living in the Home of the Free and the Land of the Crazy. We don’t hide crazy - we set it out on the porch with a big ole glass of sweet tea. Seriously, you can’t reason with the majority of Trumpers, in my opinion. I say this for two reasons 1) None of my bat … crazy relatives will ever admit they were wrong/conned/misled or whatever. Not happening. 2) Trump hates the same people they do. They love the fact he openly says things they’ve secretly believed for years. They’re not angry, stupid or ignorant. They are terrified that brown, black, yellow, green polka dot people will reverse discriminate against them due to the “dearth of white babies.” Mmmmkay

Either way, the Left Behind will be better off without them.

There is one reason this country cannot progress and fulfill its potential. That reason is the RW cult of lies and hate.

Without Trump, it is unclear who steps into the GOP leadership vacuum. Trump has no obvious successor. His kids are essentially zeros. His VP was a zero. The primaries show the next Gen GOP are national zeroes.

The only way they can have "another Trump" would be for another person with no history or future in politics, who has oodles of money to agree to be their lawless figurehead. I just don't see that happening.

All of a sudden changing their angle to "can you believe how gullible our viewers have been!?!?!?" with their personalities having a 24/7 high-fiving yuck fest at the expense of their viewers, all along showing a mash-up of all the nutso stuff Trump has said that they previously ignored.

Unless or until the source of the propaganda destroys the world that they have allowed the lemmings to create, it will never be over.

One last note: Trump's base is much smaller than the media lets on. His base did not elect him in 2016. Party-line Republican voters who had previously voted for Romney, McCain, Bush, Dole, Bush and Regan elected Trump in 2016. Without THOSE voters, Trump never even gets the nomination and would have lost the election in a Regan-Mondale type wipeout. Hillary Clinton echoed this when she infamously opined "Why am I not winning this by a landslide" as a response to polls showing it would be close.

of a massive heart attack at one of his Redcap rallies. Of course, they'll probably turn it into some kind of conspiracy theory.

for themselves, they have to have someone doing their thinking for them. They will follow just about anybody, Trump is proof of that. Right now they're following a guy who tried to overthrow our government and kill his Vice President.

The baby-man would go away with a public apology for his wrongs
The cult would go away if he told them to jump from a 4th story window

… the dregs of society that rose up from the ooze in 2016 to vote for him. New voter registrations set records in many states - especially red ones. These people had previously abandoned politics, didn’t trust either party, and hated gubmint of any kind. But they loved him, so they came down from the hills and up from the swamps to cast a vote - many for the first time in their lives.

When he dies, a good percentage of these cretins will crawl back under their rocks. If there is a demented personality that can step into and fill his shoes (and I can’t think of anyone that could), some may stick around to worship the new god. But since a good number will slink away, I think that new god’s hold over the entire party would be much weaker.

The rest will fall in with traditional repub politics and we’ll have to deal with them for a few more decades. He swelled their ranks with a lot of “new meat”. That might be the greatest damage he has done to progressive governance.

So - the short answer to you question is nothing short of his death. I don’t see any other way it falls apart.

It just took someone like Trump who believes in nothing but himself to wake these people up. I agree with you that once Trump goes away, many of these people will lose interest in politics.

like they’ve been doing.

The real question is, what about ALL the creatures (cultists) he gave birth to? America has changed forever, i'm afraid. Let's start with VOTING like never before, hoping that when this asshole loses,the rest will crawl back under the rocks they were hiding under for decades.

... nothing. If he ate the baby he just aborted, they would say it was faked... or claim the baby had a 666 birthmark and we're saved from another anti-Christ.

They were among us before, largely hiding in the weeds until Trump told them to come out and be proud of their hate. Their numbers may diminish, but they will always be here...waiting until good people become complacent.

to me too. We aren't dealing with our old GOP rivals who could be at least semi-reasonable, and capable of compromise.

The old wing has mostly resigned or plan to soon. All that is left is foaming at the mouth angy people who surrendered themselves to a cult leader. I don't think even he has complete control over them now. The mob mentality has set in deep.

I agree we have to GOTV for President Biden and all Democrats. We also, however, need to be prepared for the lunatics who are likely going to try underhanded dirty tactics including mass violence not to honor the results.

...how much he detests his followers, if we could show them how he really thinks of them as worthless low-lifes and suckers, maybe they would begin to understand how foolish they have been.

Easy enough - wherever Rupert Murdoch goes, fascism and authoritarianism follow. The best thing we can do is not watch or listen to his shit. As George Carlin said, it's bullshit and it's bad for you.

With time... they will pass on and be replaced by people who are more tolerant and compassionate... at least that's how it's supposed to work although I'm often reminded of other issues the youth bring to the table.

At least it would make my day. I'm so tired of this tiptoeing around shit. The man is a monster. Treat him like one. I know we have to me nice. Um, that didn't work too well with Hitler did it.
