Top GOP Senators Back Romney’s Call For One Anti-Trump Candidate to Emerge Quickly to Stop Former President - Lemmy.world

Republican voters vote on the basis of 1 metric and 1 metric alone:

“Who will anger my many, many enemies the most.”

Trump is an absolute moron, but he does have one instinctual skill that is his superpower, spewing hateful and cruel rhetoric effortlessly, like warer. It makes him giddy.

For this reason and no other, Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee again. DeSantis just isn’t as good at being a proud asshole on stage.

Go wayyyyyy back and Remember the event that took Trump from having to hire extras to fill his crowd for the 2016 primary (look it up), to what made him the bar none favorite.

That’s what modern republicans vote for. Not policy, they’re cowards that want someone to thump their chest and attack their enemies, you and I and everyone outside their increasingly monolithic in-group.

Donald Trump on a protester: ‘I’d like to punch him in the face’

« You know what they used to do to guys like that when they were in a place like this? » Trump asked the Las Vegas crowd. « They'd be carried out on a stretcher, folks. »

Well put. They're a dying breed and they know it. Principles are long out the window, now they just want to burn it down.
It’s not that they want to burn it down because they’re a dying breed. They’re trained to hate and be angry the other side and that’s all that motivates them.
