That could’ve been Lavinda.That could’ve been Boris.
After the election there has to be a returns to normalcy, with debate based on the issues not personality. The GOP must work at this non stop or they are doomed. It will take many years but I am hopeful. Surely America cannot carry on like this. Europe and the world need such a realignement.

Trump wins and that's the Republicans done for a generation imo.
Trump loses, they get some of the Republicans for Harris lot back, and they weed out the more extreme elements of MAGA and they might be a normal political party in a decade or so.

But where do the MAGA lot turn to? They aren’t going away. The country will inevitably fracture imo. Can’t see any other outcome, long term.I think it depends on the result.

A third major party is inevitable imo. Either the Trump lot, after the Republicans finally realising he isn't the answer or the more moderate Republicans once they realise their party is now Trumps party.But where do the MAGA lot turn to?

Of course they'll go away. It's a PERSONALITY CULT. If Trump loses, it loses, and when Trump dies, it dies. There'll be a fight as to which Trump-lite figure takes over the "movement" next, but they'll all be pale imitations (and won't have the money); said figures will disagree and battle it out publicly; MAGA will splinter; former rapturous adherents will become disillusioned and drift away (since Trump was the only reason they voted in the first place); the base is plurality old, white, male and sub-educated, and eventually THEY die, etc. etc. Just like every other cult except maybe Scientology, but that cult wasn't so much personality-based as a multi-level marketing scheme.But where do the MAGA lot turn to?

It just sucks to have to wait for it. And it's worrying in case he does get power again -- how will he or can he take his revenge (and how will he fuck up the economy)?

They've all died; a new third party will be no different. Moderate Republicans already know their party is Trump's party -- their choices are to quit in protest, meekly retire while saying nothing, or say "Ja wohl" and go along for the ride. And if the latter, try to stay out of the line of fire and re-emerge from their holes when Trump is gone and act like everything is normal again -- unless they rode the coattails of MAGA; then they can vie for being Trump 2.0 or align with the candidates for the role (which will end up as I've described in the post above).A third major party is inevitable imo. Either the Trump lot, after the Republicans finally realising he isn't the answer or the more moderate Republicans once they realise their party is now Trumps party.
