2. I've been making similar assertions.

Once the election is called, no one outside of the diehards is going to care what Trump says. The focus will be on President-elect Biden and much of it will be on the transition team, etc.

... maker Trump or they get eaten alive.

The kGOP made their bed with Trump and now they're going to sleep in it.

It's DNC job to make Trump hated among non flat earthers and the country will progress beyond were we're at today.

5. Most of the GOP will bail on him between now and January.

The 2022 election cycle starts on Wednesday. They will start distancing themselves from him almost immediately. Some already have.

Edit: by "GOP" I mean GOP politicians, not the party as a whole.

7. I don't think they CAN bail on him because of the amount of kGOP voters that will LILTERALLY drink..

... poison if Trump said so.

kGOP politicians dump Trump they dump a kGOP 5% base per county for what ever electionS going forward.

Trump will be like herpes to the kGOP, he'll flare up and take away their happiness until he dies.

It'll be like the DNC distancing itself from Obama for whatever reason outside Obama doing some really strange crap., that's political suicide.

kGOP made a deal with the devil and they're going to go down with that ship hard cause I don't see Trump going away like Bush 1, 2 or Nixon post presidency

9. They have to dump him and the sooner the better.

They can't allow him to hang around, and they can't allow him to lead the party. McConnell and others understand that and have already started the process. They will quickly transition to attacking Biden and will basically ignore Trump. Hell, even Fox News is bailing on him already. Just wait until later in the week.

GOP voters vote for the R, regardless of who it is. Always have. That's not going to change just because Trump loses. His ability to bring out non-voters has always been overstated. There's no better proof of that than this cycle.

... command a 5% base per county of kGOP voters, this is a cult and they're not leaving him no matter what.

Trumps SM accounts and media presence will get bigger unless he's going to jail, Trump is really stupid and the kGOP made their bed with him ... they're going to lay in it.

10. All his supporters can flee back into their sewage caves to worship his Orange Anus.

Hopefully they all stay buried inside the sewage pits and succumb to their mighty Orange Anus fumes and feces forever.

Meanwhile, the Republicans will disown ever knowing tRUMP and will quickly scold their fellow brethren as criminal thugs if they poke their heads out for air. In spite of their former worshipping of the same Orange Anus and cheering the criminal thugs on.

I worry sick about my oldest son and his boyfriend. At least they really don't go anywhere except to work and home these days. They used to enjoy going to this one indoor/outdoor bar that allows dogs and they've had a bad experience with some redneck there; the bar owners kicked the asshole out, but where there's one there will be others.
