Brian Karem always writes good articles. He has a way of telling it like it is by travelling and asking questions.
The subject asked is, are you with Trump, the GOP, and how the political climate is exhausting voters.
Embracing "extremism" is one behavior many want no part of. Including those who no longer will vote for a Republican again.
If what the author has written, the upcoming 2022 midterm elections will be opposite what the right wing hopes.
"Trump followers, who've evidently studied the Beer Hall Putsch, believe the Trumplican party will be victorious and consume its enemies in hellfire, congressional hearings and a never-ending belittlement on conservative media. Some Republicans with gavel envy and a lust for power are reportedly looking at swatches for their new offices"
"They preach civil war and destruction should they not prevail, or if Trump is denied a return to his golden throne. They say those things even as they drive their SUVs less than a mile to go grocery shopping, visit their doctors and hit the drive-through for their favorite cholesterol burger and then a convenience store for smokes and liquor"
"No one's going to risk a real civil war while those things are readily available — not for a period of time longer than it takes to march to the Capitol and get arrested"
"A growing number of people now understand the Republicans as a brazen group of feckless bullies. Welcome to the party. The woman I spoke with in Kentucky said something echoed by at least a couple dozen others I spoke with in the last month: "I don't usually vote. I am this year. I've already registered — and I'm not voting for a Republican."
"That continues to be the key for the Democrats. If the voter turnout is large, then the Republicans are done, since there are more registered Democrats. Issues? The Republicans have already conceded on the issues. All the Republicans have left is fear — and that, like Trump, grows wearisome"

A storm is coming: It might sweep Trump and the GOP into oblivion
If Democrats can win after all, Trump is toast and the current GOP is finished. But what comes after that?
