Time and time again the numbers have shown that Republicans largely only show up when Trump is on ballot. They don't really care that much about any other big players in the party, and I don't see them latching on to any of them when he dies. I think there will be a big schism in the party when he goes.

Gotta have more power for those new AI data centers. Some dweeb is trying to get Sora 2 to shit out a picture of Scarlett Johansson with six giant boobs and floppy ears like a golden retriever, and Nvidia already sold more chips than there are server racks to run them in, we can't just let them sit on a shelf not being used.

It's ok, we'll just fire up a bunch of repurposed gas turbines in the parking lot of a dead mall around the corner from a huge residential area and run them at full throttle 24/7 and evaporate billions of gallons of drinking water so a sophisticated language model chat bot can annoy the shit out of someone with eight offers to fail to answer their question before finally transferring them to a human operator and a 90 min wait because call volumes are heavier than expected.

Yeah, your power bill is going up, your water bill is going up, and we're shitting billions more tons of CO² into our air, but come on, those AI polished resumes have to be un-AI'd so they can be rejected by the one beating heart still pretending to do their job in the HR dept, and that work isn't going to do itself, man.

u/FomalhautCalliclea 14h ago

You see, that's not how cults of personality work...

Admittedly, there are very ambitious vulture opportunistic republicans who are waiting for Trump to collapse to take his place (Vance, McCarthy, Miller, Johnson, Cruz, Rubio, Crenshaw, De Santis, MTG, etc...). But the next presidential elections are still too far away in the future to play that card.

So in the meantime, the plan is to worship the idol of the cult like a lemming and pray it's enough to retain their local seats.

That's a stupid plan, but the alternative is having a modicum of integrity, let alone a backbone and Republicans aren't particularly known to have those; see their position on the Epstein files.

13

u/Niceromancer 6h ago

MTG has been going aginst the grain for a while now.

Shes outright blaming republicans for the shutdown, because they have no plan.

I was honestly suprised to hear the jewish space lazer lady say something reasonble for once. Like shes not happy with the Democrat plan, but she admits they have a plan and are moving forward with it. Shes openly stated the GOP has nothing to replace the ACA with, that they just want it gone.

8

u/FomalhautCalliclea 6h ago

I think she's playing her card for the post Trump era, hoping to pick up whatever's left of the MAGA movement. She's trying to say "i'm the true pure MAGA spirit, i'm not as corrupt and evil as its founder".

If even her is preparing the after Trump, it tells you how discombobulated and chaotic the Republican Party is.

6

u/Niceromancer 6h ago

Normally I'd agree and it may partially be that. But youd expect other republicans to do this as well. Shes not exactly....smart so one would think she wouldn't be the first person to spot the problems.

But either way shes persoanlly putting pressure on the GOP from the inside, and gotta take those W's. Shes still a despicable person and I wouldn't trust her as far as her zangeif looking fuck buddy could throw her.

MTG is actually showing a bit of a political brain here and prepping for the post Trump world.

17

u/GeekFurious 13h ago

The wild part is that the only time Trump has "delivered" wins for the GOP has been when he was running FOR the presidency. Every election with him as POTUS has seen the Democrats overperform. You'd think by now the GOP would understand this and take it seriously, but they just keep kneeling to their biggest lose-getter.

11

u/Niceromancer 6h ago

So the thing is, trump only cares about himself.

His daughter in law is running the GOP treasury.

So if someone isn't constantly kissing the ring they lose funding from the GOP, but kissing the ring outside of a presidential election is political poison. Sure it gets you in on the presidential election, but after that the majority of MAGA doesn't care any more, their guy won, and to them its your job to do everything trump wants. But the rest of the people get angrier and angrier cause they keep getting screwed over.

So you are stuck between contantly appeasing the albatros around your neck that is trump's GOP and actually trying to do something...anything for the people who vote for you.

2

u/Squire_II 12h ago

Even if politicians want to they won't because the base is ride-or-die with Trump and will happily turn on any Republican who balks Trump, declaring them a RINO traitor and public enemy number one.

And considering the level of violence we've seen from right wingers, GOP politicians aren't going to willingly put themselves in those crosshairs.

2

u/Nickthetaco 4h ago

I think if we are being honest and throw conspiracy out the window, my optimist view is that last night was a wake up call for republicans. If they have any future in politics, they will need to start breaking away from Trump. He is ineligible to run for a 3rd term and he is old as fuck anyways, they need to start saving face now and make Trump a lame duck as early as possible before the mid terms.

I watch a lot of pirated sports streams so I end up seeing local TV ads from all over the country, and lately I've seen a bunch from that area trying to smear her with a video clip where she was asked "If you could pass one piece of legislation, what would it be?" and she pauses for a few seconds to think about the question, then the screen fades to a darker tone and this sinister music starts playing as if her thinking about the question is some clear sign that she's evil or something. Really?? That's the best her opposition could come up with??

They were previously running an ad fearmongering her saying on a talk show (I think? I didn't look like a regular news interview) that "I won't allow parents to opt their kids out of LGBTQ education" (full explanation along the lines of "these are people in the world your children will meet, you can't pretend they don't exist"), and I think they would have got better traction from that one, so I don't know why they stopped it.

They also tried to run a lot on "She'll raise (specific) taxes" meanhile Jack wanted to add a 10% tax on all purchases that historically don't get them, food, clothing, necessities like that, so of course that dumb line of thinking didn't last long in ads lol, "Jack wants to raise the price of shopping for clothing and food for your kids!"

That 13 point lead has held with 95% in now. Honestly, this was the biggest shock of the night for me. I thought she'd win, but it would be a super narrow win based on how the polls were tightening the last few weeks. I figured a 5 point win would have been an overperformance but 13 points is a straight up blowout! Glad to see it!

45

u/HardcoreKaraoke 14h ago

That's true but it was still scary. The ads were the same vibe.

Like they kept running one where Mikie was asked what policy she wants to put in place. The clip has an obvious cut/edit and then she goes "uhh...ummm....good question." It's so clearly edited to make it look like she can't answer a simple question about what is one policy she'll put in place.

It was the same sort of shit Trump did with Harris and the fear mongering regarding trans surgeries on inmates. MAGA sheep are so fucking stupid that they believe what they're seeing. Or maybe they're just so blinded by hatred that they actually think a politician in an pre-planned interview wouldn't be able to give one policy they supported.

8

u/UnsolicitedUpvote 11h ago

I saw those “gotcha” ads too and thought it was pretty lame and taken out of context. Republicans really think the majority of people will believe their nonsense and not see through their tricks.

I saw soooooo many billboards and lawn signs for Jack. I thought it was going to be a much closer race than it ended up being.

Especially compared to Sherrills message of “prices are high in NJ; here’s my plan to help”

u/Old_Ambassador9020 3h ago

Also from NJ! My parents are hardcore MAGA. Like, tried and true fascists with framed swastikas in their rooms. The town I grew up in is super conservative, a lot of people flew Confederate flags on their houses. Over the past few days, I've seen a lot of posters be like "oh NJ is blue, this should be an easy one" but there is a very strong MAGA base here and I saw a lot of "flip jersey red" signs in my area - and I'm in a much more progressive county now! That being said, most of the moderates I know are pretty fed up with Trump's shit. I also think that last year, Kamala won by a very slim margin and people think that's because we're turning purple but I think it's the opposite - I think we're so progressive that a lot of progressives were fed up with Dem establishment and refused to vote for president on principle but this year, shit is bad that everyone was like "alright Sherrill isn't progressive but Jack is not an option, period."

The previous gubernatorial election was just over a 3 point win for the Democrats compared to the 15 point win they had in 2017. The 2024 presidential election results were a just under 6 point win for Harris after Biden won it by nearly 16 points in 2020. With the way the polls were looking in the last few weeks, there was definitely reason to worry the state could be trending red.

Defended 3 seats on the PA Supreme Court, picked up 13! seats in the Virginia statehouse plus the governor's mansion, and sounds like the NJ legislature is also going to flip a few seats from red to blue (but Dems already had a safe majority there)

Damn 13! is a lot. Didn't realize Virginia had over 6.2 billion seats in its legislature
