Man, they're really dug in on the smoothbrain theory that it was the left in Trump gear starting the trouble.

As long as he maintains an ability to communicate to his audience (ie...the pundits on Fox, talk radio, and social media), he will remain in control of the R party since all R politicians won't want to draw the ire of his tweets. If on the other hand those communication channels go away, then he's incredibly vulnerable to becoming irrelevant.
Which is why the deal will be that Pence will give you a pardon if you feck off quietly.
He controls their grassroots which is the bigliest problem.
It'd be pretty hard to pin the blame for invoking the 25th on the 'libs', as only Pence and Trump's cabinet members can do that. If anything, it would fracture the Republicans and their base even more, which would be beautiful.
Not going to happen though.

Here is a convo I found after searching Facebook for a few minutes:
The narrative they seem to be pushing is "it was antifa pretending to be Trump supporters"
I guess this guy is just antifa playing the long game:

He can't. His brain doesn't work this way. He needs the adulation and attention. He's still seeking Daddy's approval.
Yeah my mate has a Facebook group with 1.2k members and all have lost money backing Trump at Betfair. I was invited and can read their comments but they are total loons and say it is part of his master plan to drain the swamp. Anyone who speaks up and says they have been lied to by Trump are instantly muted. They are all following some dude (Simon Parkes) on YouTube who explains it all apparently
Good luck to them in "draining the swamp" when they have just lost the Presidency, the Senate and now - following the attack on the Capitol - a significant chunk of the middle ground/neutral American public.
The "swamp" has just doubled in size, whilst their drainage canals have been reduced to 1" diameter plastic pipes.
With what he eats and drinks there is nothing little about his shite.
If there is any silver lining to this I am hoping it is the end of the careers of Cruz and Hawley.
Cruz barely (at least for Texas) squeaked by Beto last time. It will be interesting to see what happens in 24 when he is up for reelection and could potentially be going for POTUS. He will likely have to choose one.
Hawley is a hugely ambitious first term senator who will also need to make a choice in 24 as he has also been floating a POTUS run. He will also lose the backing of the state Repub establishment (if Danforth's comments are anything to go by)
I am betting they both go for POTUS and both fail at getting the nomination. Hopefully they stay in long enough that it means they lose their Senate seats as well. Ideally they would both resign( ) or be expelled by next week, but politics.

Fractious?
I knew you were pro fracking!
Not really. The idea the US electorate might elect Trump president again - an older and even more demented Trump - is a complete non-starter. They've seen enough over the last 4 years ... and the mob attack on the Capitol was the vomit-icing on the shit cake they've been eating.
It's amazing really that if Trump had been more competent and less transparently crazy he could probably have overthrown the entire US constitution by now. His base of supporters in terms of sheer size and their mentality means that there is an audience out there to do so. Imagine if he was actually as brilliant as he thinks he is or was as clever or as charming as some of history's great opportunists.
You can't reason with someone who's insane.
So, basically more Hitler than more Trump.
The best thing that could happen to the Dems is Cruz running for President in 4 years time he has all the charisma of a septic tank it would be a landslide for who ever was up against him.If there is any silver lining to this I am hoping it is the end of the careers of Cruz and Hawley.

also @calodo2003 @Raoul - related to your comments from checking pro-Trump forums yesterday.

This isn't surprising. It's always a false flag operation for these types.
It's amazing. That woman who died went all "Once more unto the breach!" with a Trump flag wrapped around her and less than 24 hours later he is calling her a criminal. That's the great cause she died for.Even though its from the same place that hosts these shit heads it still gave me a chuckle
He is also really bad (b/c of the charisma thing) in televised debates. He would have to resort Trump tactics to have any chance of "winning" a debate with Harris (who is almost certainly going to be the candidate)
People don't like the idea that Hitler was both intelligent and charismatic and that it was just as a psychopath he lacked remorse for his actions.
Interesting, seems no one was giving authorization to send the National Guard...well until very very late. Even when the National Guard were ready to deploy.
But we must also consider the Rs that voted for Biden/abstained from voting in 2020 because of Trump. They would vote for Cruz, most likely. I also find that the majority of Trumptards would return to voting for whatever rotted carcass the GOP nominates, like Cruz for example. These voters do not engage in critical thinking and everything is external locus to their feeble minds.
Hopefully the GOP kicks him out and he stands as an independent in 4 years - would split the right-wing vote and guarantee the Dems a second term.
Plot twist!
Or Napoleon or Alcibiades or Cesare Borgia. Somebody amoral but with actual brilliance or intelligence.
Yeah he was obviously one of the biggest pieces of sh*t to ever walk the planet but his language skills and intelligence were far greater than a man who uses 'bigly' in a sentence and thinks injecting bleach could be the answer for a deadly virus. Imagine someone brighter than Trump manipulating this mob.
Yeah, the echo chamber is real.
I'm sure he's doing that as well, but where are the votes in that? Gotta kick up the fuzz to keep your supporters energized! Polarization is good, remember.
I think he's hoping she will be the candidate. He wants to exploit the angry black woman thing. it will be awful and he'll get a lot of support.
that's the thing though. All primaries are essentially the candidates trying to out extreme each other to get the nomination. This means that the winner of the GOP nomination is going to be the one who can win the Trump peeps, so there is NO way that is going to be a Romney/Bush type "moderate". It is going to be a Cruz/Hawley/Trump Family Member/etc. type. So from that list who is the most desirable opponent? For me I will go with the uncharismatic, cuckolded werewolf.
From people she would never win anyways. Racists gonna racist.
She is going to have to play it flawlessly for the next four years. Biden is going to give her a lot of opportunities to raise her stature.
I agree with this. I think you are going to see her lead most of the big, widely popular initiatives while Biden takes any of the body blows for unpopular things (if he does any of them....).
I'm interested to see how Newsome plays it. If Biden does an LBJ and doesn't seek re-election then it's a free-for-all for dems and Gav will be all over that.
