Please proceed, I imagine there are some far right nuts savvy enough to know there is a lot of money to be made by running to the right of and trying to replace the GOP.

This is the GOP breaking away from the GOP to become the new GOP.
Just like the Tea Party and all that other non-sense.
This moral satanic panic bullshit keeps happening every 20 years.
HOWEVER, this time they don't want to play by the rules. So it is scary.
I personally think we are headed towards Socialism vs Moderate. GOP could very well be dying and basically turning into Libertarians.i see a lot of celebration online, and people laughing at the idea that the GoP are turning on themselves, but I genuinely worry that all we will see is a more competent right winger, but much more extreme, who steps into Trump's shoes, takes his already brainwashed supporters, and is successful in their goals because Trump has already taught them what works and what doesn't.
To me, the whole thing is just one grift after another. Grifters found and easy group to exploit and now everybody wants to cash in. There is ALWAYS some crazy group, conspiracy theory, villain to hate on to sucker more people in giving money.
Awesome, I hope McConnell is watching this and seeing what seeing what his policies and maneuvering has birthed...
Y'all really underestimate Republicans ability to just fall in line with shit.
This and also they will have convinced themselves (and be told by OAN) that the Biden presidency is worse than any in history, worse than Obama, worse than Hillary would have been, worse than Satan himself would have been. So they will all be screaming that the Chinese Socialist invasion of America must be stopped and babies must be saved or something else about pedophiles or immigrants, AT ALL COST, so they'll vote GOP.This. They don't care how the fuck they do it, they just want to win first and foremost. That's why they cheat, thats why they use voter suppression, thats why they're going along with Trump and this brazen attack on democracy itself. Democracy was only OK when it allowed them to win. Thats how bad they want to win. They fucking lined right up behind Trump so fast the second he looked like he was going to win and acted as if there were no other candidates for president. Ted Cruz at the RNC told the republican party "vote your conscience" Look at where that got us the past 4 years. They don't have one. They always put winning first, then haggle over the details later.
But it will lead to a more right wing GOP.Anyone expecting this to result in a fractured GOP is going to be sorely disappointed.
Yup. This is what's going to happen. Have we learned nothing from cheering Trump on during the 2016 primaries?As much as I would enjoy the GOP party crumbling I feel this will just turn into like when the TeaParty (which are pretty much the same people to an extent) hijacked the GOP. The GOP will pander to these people and go more extreme as a result.

monied interests took over the tea party and they will do the same with these dipshits. They only listen to what tv hosts say so they will fall in line.i see a lot of celebration online, and people laughing at the idea that the GoP are turning on themselves, but I genuinely worry that all we will see is a more competent right winger, but much more extreme, who steps into Trump's shoes, takes his already brainwashed supporters, and is successful in their goals because Trump has already taught them what works and what doesn't.
This is a repeat of what happened in 2016. We were all laughing and toasting at the GOP implosion. You know what happened next.
Turns out we were in an echo chamber and the GOP came back stronger than ever.
This.Destroy the right wing period. We don't need a Conservative party in the year 2020. They're wrong about everything and they serve no purpose other than to radicalize future wackos and murderers.
To be fair, monied interests also started The Tea Party. It was never grassroots.monied interests took over the tea party and they will do the same with these dipshits. They only listen to what tv hosts say so they will fall in line.
Still, it is entirely possible a Great Depression level event happens in the nearish future due to climate change, soooo.
So realistically, if the GOP splintered and created and even farther right party than themselves, where does that leave the Dems and the countries hope for progress? The GOP would be the moderate party?
I shudder to think.
70M people voted for that shit.One will consume the other, because there's only enough room for one to exist and conservatives will always fall into some established line. The question is which one eats the other.
Usually it's the GOP by virtue of being the established norm, but this MAGA shit does have one key thing going for them: Trump as a central god-figure equivalent to Reagan. The questions are if that's enough to win the majority over, and what the establishment GOP is going to be willing to do to keep itself on top.
"I hate the GOP!
