Backers of QAnon conspiracy theory on path to U.S. Congress
The U.S. House of Representatives recently voted to condemn the pro-President Donald Trump online conspiracy theory known as "QAnon." But multiple QAnon-friendly lawmakers may soon be taking seats in the House chamber.

As Trump leaves the stage, Republicans grapple with new conspiracy caucus
Donald Trump may be leaving the White House in a few days, but the umbrella of conspiracy theories he inspired is only just arriving in Washington.

Oh yeah, I'm the loon.

Edit: I'm not saying they all believe it, but they are well aware of it and have certainly made accommodations for it. And they are catering to its believers. Your GOP has legitimised QAnon - you guys own it.

Depends on how the GOP intends to pull on the pendulum. There are demographic shifts that bode ill for the GOP. Why do you think they are hell bent on voter suppression and anti immigration reform? And attacking "liberal" ediucation? The sad thing is, with a few subtle policy (and tone) shifts the party could save itself. Instead Trump pushed it to an extreme position where his followers feel OK flying the rebel flag after storming the Capitol while wearing Q, Camp Auschwhitz and 6mwe shirts.
The future is bright. At least for the near term.Trump is done, the Senate majority is lost and the party is fractured. Many are staying loyal to dear leader, others are looking to move on. Without talking about the Dems who have plenty of their own internal problems to work out, what does the future look like for the Grand Ole Party?
Post Trump, Republicans Are Headed for a Bitter Internal Showdown (Published 2021)
G.O.P. leadership would like to blunt President Trump’s influence over the party. Mr. Trump and his allies want to punish those who have crossed him. A series of clashes looms.www.nytimes.com
- The Dems are trying to impeach Trump to prevent him from being eligible for office, with a simple majority. I think the Supremes would probably decide this in Trump's favor, AND it is re-uniting the party already.
- The superficial observation is that the Dems have the House, Senate, and the Presidency, so Green New Deal. It's not happening. None of this sh!t is happening. The 45th-50th votes (at least, probably more like the last 10-15) on all the Progressive priorities are hard/fast f--k nos. This will disappoint the left wing of the (D) party hardcore
- The donors will be back the instant people aren't fixated on Trump's attempts to stage a coup. The donors are probably more pissed the coup failed, because the top bracket tax cut getting sh!t-canned is probably one of the more likely things to pass.
- The prospect of a minority woman as VP, the lack of Medicare for All or Green New Deal, and typical out-party midterm performance will give the GOP the House in 2 years
- The only growth stories in media right now are OAN and Newsmax poaching some of Fox's people. Fox is now NOT #1. Since a few days after the shitshow, it started losing to CNN and MSNBC. They moved Martha MacCallum out of the primetime slot to naptime, but the jig is up. Total purity or face mutiny.
- They have the Supreme Court and the Federal bench is STACKED with crazy-eyed zealots. Sure, they might not have said LOL Trump won in response to preposterously stupid lawsuits brought by his campaign, but wait for anything else to make us more like a Christian Saudi Arabia.
The highlight for me will certainly be Susan Collins, after impeachment gets to the Senate, saying Trump learned his lesson and voting no, then probably also voting no on half of Biden's cabinet noms because they called McConnell a ghoulish tortoise on twitter.
The January 6 insurrection was a last gasp for white supremacy.
Anand Giridharadas, publisher of The.Ink, says that what the country experienced last week is the chaos at the end of white supremacy. “This is not a launch party, this is a funeral for something. It is a funeral for white supremacy. It is a funeral for a kind of outdated, outmoded male power...

the older erBB crowd doesn’t like hearing that but it’s a cold harsh reality.
You don’t realize it because you’re old and out of touch and watch too much cable news.
Is there going to be a death rattle next week?
LBJ knew what was up. A generation? More like 100 years.
The second most votes in history were for the Trumpenfuhrer. We'll probably have been dead for 100 years before what you say comes to pass.
it does seem to be taking a while. The willful ignorance is a stubborn feature in America.
seems like the GOP has the speed wobbles right now, especially after the Capitol Insurrection.
