If Trump loses this election, where does the Republican party have to go?

Denial, subversion and violence?

[–] jwiggler@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

True, but that just isn't a maintainable party platform. There may be denial and violence in the short term, but at that point I think the Trumpian wing of the Republican party is in its death throes and is doomed.

That wing recently gained control of the GOP finances and has embedded itself pretty securely.

The one thing that they have going against them is that right-wing people hate losers and the weak.

Who knows how they'll react to another loss. I can see them shifting harder towards populism like the right-wing people in the UK and Canada have.

Problem with Trumpism is that it relies too heavily on Trump. Once he's out there isn't a solid or feasible successor. The factions supporting Trump won't go away but Trump is their best shot for immediate wins.

You're right, the ideology requires a personality that captivates their base like Trump and Boris Johnson do.
