MODERATORS
I told a supervisor sometime in 2021 that we'll never have another Republican president. I was in a super rural, supermajority republican area, and none of them would believe me. I think Trump was the warning 'moderates' and lazy voters needed.
The electoral college is going to see you lose that bet. Trump lost by about 81,000 votes. Anyone getting complacent and thinking the GOP is done are going to get blindsided. It is going to be very close this time and for many times to come.

We'll have to agree to disagree. Complacency could see a repub president again, but with swelling gen Z, dying boomers, and a soon to be swung Texas (if they don't throw out the big cities' votes, like they're trying), I think we'll be solid.
Trump wasn't that far from a victory really in 2020 If they nominate someone more moderate they can win
that moderate would have to win in the Republican primaries, which will be difficult with the MAGA crowd. it's kinda funny that Republicans insist on shooting themselves in the foot, then blame Democrats. they're a real life caricature.
I definitely hope you're right.
Nah, we'll get lazy again. Just how people are
