Ive heard false death knells for republicans way too many times over several decades. After Trump, theres no amount of depravity conservative voters arent willing to overlook.
"Voting with the libs" will still get them Othered.
He did say "depravity"
conservatives dont pay attention to how their reps vote.
If anything, I feel like ditching Trump might help them. He goes to prison, it's the deep state democrats. Oh, we're you in the Republicans Against Trump group? Well he's gone, so we can being in people who sat the same things, bur sounds smarter sometimes. Hello fellow kids. I'm a cool radical liberal, much like you! Now that the orange man(Ha! Remember that meme!) is gone, we can totes relax and hang out with our bros, instead of worrying about politics!
Luckily I think a lot of people have realized it's much bigger than Trump, but they just need enough people to fall for it.
Gotta treat every opportunity like it's the one that'll be the death knell. We won't get to it unless we do.
what part of you treating it like a death knell is going to accomplish anything? What are you doing other than just waiting hoping conservatives learn their lesson this time? Please stop looking to conservatives to fix anything, to amend their ways. No matter the scandal, expect conservative voters to still rally behind their reps to oppose progress. If Trump went into an elementary school and started gunning down kids, expect conservatives to take it as the beginning of their uprising against education and follow suit.
