If Trump loses, expect a Republican civil war

[kyzr]

There are hundreds of prominent republicans supporting Harris. Once the election is over and if Trump loses they will head back and there will be a reckoning… we will see who wins control for the soul of the GOP, as tainted as it is.

I'll take that bet. Any Never-Trumper that dares to put his/her name on a primary ballot will lose, guaranteed.
The Republican Party had a great primary season proving that we have a very deep bench, ready to do battle again in 2028.

You moron the Ds are not pushing communism dipshit. You are right about the Rs and 2025 though. They are all over 2025.

You moron.
You may not recognize it as communism, but the democrat policies are all pushing toward one party rule, i.e. Communism.

Open the borders, let in millions of democrat votes
Mass amnesty, let millions of illegals vote
End the filibuster, make new Laws with small majority
Pack the supreme court, ensure Leftists control
Gun control, keep the population defenseless
Lawfare against Republicans, just like in commie Banana Republics
Teach CRT in all schools, keep the population riled up
Continued attacks on parental rights (take kids from parents to transition) ensure government control of everything
Add DC & Puerto Rico as states guaranteeing democrats permanent majorities
Hire 80,000 new IRS agents willing to kill. A new Waffen SS.
Tax unrealized gains of investment. Redistribute wealth, aka "Communism"
Tax unrealized gains on house value. Redistribute wealth, aka "Communism"
Supports Medicare for all and elimination of private healthcare insurance. Government control of healthcare

If Trump wins, what will democrats do?

Give the order to the army of invaders that killing Americans has a greenlight?

If Trump wins, what will democrats do?

Probably sweep the 2026 and 2028 elections. Like last time.

 

[LuckyDuck01!]

Comical comparing a protest for police brutality to a attempted over throw of our country and democracy with violence to force in the biggest piece of shit in history as a dictator for life. You just have to laugh.

All I'm doing is just responding to only the title of the post, not bothering with the replies.

Why even bother with elections at all since the outcome is known before the first useless vote is cast.

There are a lot of factors you're not considering here, starting with the state of the Republican Party. Lara Trump closed all of the outreach offices, and fired all staff which refused to say the 2020 election wasn't stolen. They have nobody working on the ground, knocking on doors or getting out the vote.

Many of the State Parties in swing states have been bankrupted by endless court challenges to both the 2020 election and the 2022 elections - all of which they've lost. Michigan, Arizona, Pennsylvannia, Nevada. They have no money for down ballot races, or staff.

This is the first election which will be decided by Gen X and Z. Boomers are no longer the majority of voters. People who have grown up with student debt, having mass shooter drills, and who are in their child bearing years. They NEED access to reproductive health care. Polling companies tend not to be calling them, because they're new voters.

20% of Republican voters voted for Nicki Haley in the primaries, months after she dropped out. They got in their cars, drove to the polling station, to vote for someone they knew wasn't running.

There were 8 million more women voters than men in 2022. That number is a LOT bigger now. MEN continue to under estimate how pissed those women truly are. And they are not voting for the Republicans who refuse to listen when they tell them they're KILLING women.

And much of that doesn’t matter given the fact that presidents are installed via a process both undemocratic and antimajoritarian – at times contrary to the will of the majority of voters.

All Trump needs to do is cobble together enough razor thin majorities in enough swing states – Trump voters motivated by fear, ignorance, stupidity, racism, bigotry, misogyny, and hate.

2000 and 2016 could very well happen again – indeed, Republicans are counting on it.

The only way you get my gun group is pulling it from your cold dead hand group , when confronted will shit in their pants, piss all over themselves, cry like a baby as they throw their guns away. Whimpering like a puppy. Right before the tank rolls over them and you can year the Crunch of victory for democracy and they future of this country, Simply just one less traitor.

And here’s an example of the stupidity in support of Trump.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

That so? Well i guess you can stay home.

If Commiela wins, likely so from then on. It is not enough for Trump to win this election. Democrats must be erased as a political force. They cannot win another election ever again.

Oh, then you better definitely stay in your hidey hole forever. Because democrats will win elections. So will Republicans.

 

[Harry Dresden]

The democrats suck too, they just suck less, from where I am standing.

One can find flaw in anything. You don't even have to be smart.

And stop whining about me, a grown man whining is not a good look.

like you dont whine around here... and keep on voting for something you dont like ....it makes a lot of sense....

 

[Dragonlady]

i lived there for 50 ******* years while she was doing her thing...and who the **** cares what karl rove thinks....and you dont have to hang with them to know how they are you can see what they do while in office, you cant be that stupid to think that....and i can give a flying **** about trump...and you only think you know whats happening by the bullshit that you are told......you dont know shit about California while she was AG .....

What did she do. You haven't told us ANYTHING AT ALL except you were there and you know what she did.

Alright, Harry, Tell us what she did. Give us examples. GIVE US FACTS FOR A CHANGE. Stop telling us how you feel about her, because your feelings are irrelevant. FACTS Harry, not feelings.

Conservatives can read the tea leaves and are starting to consider what the Republican Party will look like after a Trump loss. Conservative writer and Bush campaign creative team director is predicting a Republican Civil War if Trump loses.

Questions:
1. Does Trump go quietly if he loses?
2. Who can pull the Republican Party back together after it has been defined as a party of personality?

If Trump loses, expect a Republican civil war

To have one family in complete control of a major national political party is an aberration in our country. Daughter-in-law Lara Trump, installed as co-chair of the Republican National Committee in March, naively spoke the truth in February when she said of its fundraising, “Every single penny will go to the number one and the only job of the RNC — that is electing Donald J. Trump as president of the United States…”

That aside, a Trump loss inevitably means an internal civil war within the Republican Party. I believe a “war” is inevitable between the all-powerful Trump forces and those who want to move on from the Trump era and win the White House in 2028 without any Trump family members on the ticket.

Like all civil wars, this one could be brutal, because the GOP opposition forces see in Trumpism a political dead-end with a shrinking voter base. Today, identifying as a Republican is not about conservative governing principles but automatic loyalty to Trump, with his MAGA troops in control of the party machinery from top to bottom.

So who would it be? Some names are familiar and obvious: Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who each look in the mirror and see a future president. Add a new name with popular Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R), who has had a contentious history with Trump — haven’t they all, though? That experience will embolden these leaders to forge a new path for the party, maybe led by one of them, or else a new leader will emerge.

I actually thought it would come before this election, not after, but then I didn’t think Hillary could lose or that Biden should drop out!

For starters, these are misdemeanors for a reason. Rarely is a person pursued for these crimes. The fact that Bragg used some obscure statute to elevate them to felonies doesn’t make them more egregious. A non-partisan person would look at these charges and say that it certainly seems more dangerous for our country when a state’s AG, who is politically opposed, goes to such lengths to get a felony conviction for misdemeanors for a politician running for office.

Secondly, well known people and businesses often pay others to keep quiet on issues that could reflect negatively on them, whether true or not. Trump and Trump Inc. was well known before running for office and had I am quite sure that Daniel’s wasn’t the only person that was given money to go away. Just because this payment was made during the election cycle, doesn’t prove election interference. Unlike you and me, he had a reputation and a company to protect, regardless of politics.

Lastly, how could a sane person believe that Trump allegedly trying to hide a hush money payment made with his own money during an election cycle would make him somehow unfit for office and dangerous? Keep in mind, this is opposed to a candidate of a party that pursued such nonsense in the first place and pressured media outlets to censor negative information about their opposition during the same election cycle, not to mention lying to the FISA court so they could justify spying on a candidate back in 2016, using a pandemic as an excuse to permanently change the election laws to benefit their party, feckless foreign policy causing world wide instability, etc. etc. etc. There really is no comparison. Clearly, the Democratic Party is a danger to our country, but with the help of the MSM spin machine, people believe nonsense like Trump’s alleged payment to a porn star is the real threat. Our enemies are solid blue in this election. That is a fact.

It's not an obscure statute. It becomes a felony if business records were falsified to cover up a crime. Your argument that it's an obscure statute doesn't actually exonorate Trump since that's exactly what Trump did, even if it was obscure. And it was proven in court beyond a shadow of a doubt.

It was proven in court that it was election interference when it was shown in court Trump tried to stall paying off stormy daniels until after the election so that he wouldn't have to pay her a dime. It was all about the election.

As a candidate himself, Trump could have spent as much as he wanted of his own money on his own campaign. Unfortunately for him, he didn't use his own money to pay off Stormy Daniels. In court, his defense was Cohen paid her off with his own money. That was a crime. Cohen went to prison for it, among other crimes. A crime Trump falsified business records to cover up.

Guilty as charged.

/---/ Then vote for Trump. Problem solved,

Why? Why should non-Republicans vote to save the Republican party?

 

[Faun]

If this is true, then all Americans need to come together and vote for Trump in order to avoid a coming civil war.
We can do this!

The claim was the civil war would be among a split of the Republican party.

Other than conservatives and maybe some moderates, who the **** cares? Let them burn themselves down to the ground.

 

[Faun]

What civil war? Who is on sides? Its nonsense.

The OP mentions a "Republican civil war". More wishful thinking by a democrat than fact.

Republicans are united around populism. Conservatism is too small a constituency.

Populism knows that the US is basically a center-right country.

The prediction of a Republican civil war was made by a conservative.

And this country is not a center-right country. 6 of the last 7 elections were close, decided within a few percentage points. And in 6 of the last 7 elections, a Democrat got more votes than every other candidate.

This country is very evenly split. I think this next election will be divided by a fairly narrow margin.

 

[Faun]

whether a 'civil war' actually comes to fruition is yet to be seen , no doubt they would want it - - - but using fear is certainly a tactic they are willing to use if it could keep voters from even showing up. look what happened in 2020 - with donny's openly armed flying monkeys at polling places, just trying to intimidate americans for exercising their right to vote.

it didn't work then & it sure AF ain't gonna work this time.

What may be more likely is the Republican could split into two parties, much like the Democrats and Dixiecrats in the 40's, only to come back to a single party after only one election cycle.

 

[Faun]

So its not a Republican civil but another American civil war? Rs vs Ds?

The Ds are pushing communism and the far right Rs are pushing 2025? (Trump already said he does not support 2025)

So who fires the first shot?

Trump says he doesn't support it but his party does as they've already voted in favor of some measures of Project 2025, and Trump's own vice president, who Trump hand picked, wrote the forward in the book to be released, promoting Project 2025. Which they've put off releasing until after the election because they know what's in the book will be more unpopular with the nation, than popular.
