    The GOP dies with the Boomers

    Looking at all the MAGA rallies over the last years, it looked like most attendants were significantly younger than Boomer age. Same with the guys who fly Trump flags on their pickup trucks. Same with the January 6 crowd. Same with the Proud Boys. Same with Bikers for Trump. Same with Moms for Liberty.

    I think it’s wishful thinking to believe that the GOP will just disappear when the last Boomer dies. The GOP has already transformed into the party of Trump over the last couple of years, and it will keep on transforming.

    It would take significantly more than old people dying fit them GOP to vanish.

      MAGA is made up of people who are the scum of society. Criminals, con artists, drug dealers, etc… Hopefully you don’t think that is who the majority of voters are.

        As the saying goes, “If there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis.”

        I don’t care how many Republicans are troubled by Trump’s behavior, I don’t care how many Republicans think he’s a bit too much, I don’t care how many Republicans dislike the MAGA movement.

        Talk is cheap.

        74 million voters decided that they wanted Trump to be president for another term in 2020, decided to give Trump their vote, decided to support Trump. That makes them Trump supporters.

          Not all Republicans are sitting at the same table. There are two very different tables and only one has Nazis sitting at it.

            The one with the Nazis sitting at it has 74 million people.

            How many Republicans are sitting at the other table, and where can I find that table?
