Trump has now cost Republicans three Georgia senate races in two years.

Trump has now cost Republicans three Georgia senate races in two years, which is remarkable given that Georgia is a predominantly Republican state which has only two senators.

would break the Right. I was wrong.
They took it as a teachable moment, and developed a long-term, generational plan to seize and hold the wealth and the power.
They've succeeded with the wealth:

Now, for many years the Right has been working to buy and control state legislatures. They gained around a thousand seats during Obama.
One reason is to force a Constitutional Convention, and they're only a few states short at this time.
Another is to achieve something like Moore v. Harper, so a bought state legislature can hold the ultimate power.

They'll dump Trump, use him for a fall guy, and move the next puppet forward.

Soon-to-be Justice Lewis Powell, in 1971, wrote a lengthy memorandum to the US Chamber Of Commerce laying out a long-term plan to seize and hold power and wealth in the US. It perfectly describes the current state of affairs.

This is the original typewritten manuscript. Many discussions and analyses can be found online.

The Right was willing to sacrifice Nixon in favor of long-term power.

Heh. That quote's from the Powell memo era, too.

Ah, the Chicago School. Reminds me of this classic:

for Democrats. He turns many Independents off, and they are often key to defeating crazy Republicans. So go ahead and nominate him for 2024. He’ll lose and drag the Republican Party down with him.
