They were the intellectual titans of the Senate, and the followed all the intellectual titans of conservatism over at NRO. https://twitter.com/AdotSad/status/1321672677388529664
Really, it is truly shocking how intellectually bankrupt the party is now. I feel like not a lot of people talk about it currently, because they still have power, but this is not a party with winning ideas on basically any topic. https://twitter.com/jksolver/status/1321673320996065281
The 2020 platform is "idk whatever trump wants". What Trump wants is to ramble about laptops and promise an imaginary health care plan. That's it. That's really all the GOP has right now. They lucked into power and didn't have a single plan to implement and haven't had to yet.
I think this is going to be massively apparent during the first year or so of a Biden admin, while they continue rambling on about Hunter's laptop, blocking COVID relief over debt concerns, and struggling with Trump wanting to still call into Fox each day and set the agenda.
Even the trump-hesitant or anti-trump folks that stuck around don't have many ideas. They were caught off guard, watched all their intellectuals turn to retweeting russian agitprop, and accomplish basically nothing of legislative value over an entire presidency. It's toast.
There's not gonna be a rebound. You trained your entire demographic to care about fake laptop stories. They don't want any specifics and there's no room for it. You think some GOP wunderkind is gonna get booked talking about some new idea over Trump wanting to call in?
congratulations, you rebuilt your entire political party around a cult leader and now have to try to win elections again while your voters want the FBI to arrest Jack Dorsey and investigate adrenochrome. party died back in 2016 from a terminal illness contracted long before.
honestly people... if biden wins in the landslide all the evidence is showing, and 1) stops coronavirus, 2) reforms the court and 3) enables voting rights nationwide.. they aren't going to be in power for a _long_ time.
none of them think this. they took obama's presidency and were able to manipulate it and bounce back.. but we saw what they did when in power. americans have bad memories but trump is gonna stick on that party like hot tar.

ain't gonna work.
a new generation enters voting age that hates these guys with every fiber of their being, biden is going to be the president who stopped coronavirus after trump killed 300k+, and texas is about to turn blue.

write legislation to send every american a ballot and keep winning.
