i really hope you’re wrong about that second part. keep in mind this is probably like 50% cope on my end, so take it with a grain of salt. but i do hope that jd vance’s sheer unpopularity will make that hard. it seemed like everybody hated him going into the election, and they were voting only for trump. so if trump gets martyred, i could see the party fracturing, with many people unwilling to blindly follow vance in the same way they followed trump.
That’ll happen regardless. They’ll martyr Trump before midterms and use that as a reason to declare martial law and cancel elections.

I’m not so sure. I think their allegiance to the party trumps (lol) their sanity in voting for a non-republicab. I mean, look how we got 45 as 47.
