I guess it's a good time to be a Democrat... Because the GOP is eating its own, now. Or at least the Trumpists are determind to cannabalize the party, assuring Democratic administrations for a decade.Trump's solid block of supporters, 30% or so of Americans continue to make the "Disrupter in Chief" a power in politics, kinda like a wrecking ball- destroying structures, establishments, but not capable of creating a team, building anything: a nihilist looting the wreckage he created.
Yes, a nihilist. Donald Trump denies affiliation with any organized faith, claiming only to kinda, sorta believes in God: “I now consider myself to be a non-denominational Christian”.
Anyhow, the end of the Republican Party as the Trumpist base splits, making the minority (but effective and organized) party an even smaller force. It don't matter how organized 20%, 25% or the electorate are, they're null and void. Even if their former allies, the Trumplicans are a terrorist organization. And Trumpists are such.
