His lawsuits have failed. The state election recounts have changed nothing. More and more states are certifying their election results. The transition of power has begun.
-Donald Trump has lost to Joe Biden-
What will the GOP look and sound like after 2020? Will Trump remain a powerful voice within the GOP? Will his legal and financial woes catch up with him? Will this 70+ year old, obese man be with us much longer? Donald Trump has pulled the GOP in a far different direction than that of Ronald Reagan. What is the future of the GOP?
Thoughts?
The GOP is at a point of no return. Someone like Bob Dole or John McCain can never again be chosen to lead them. It's going to be people like Tucker Carlson from here on out.
A third political party needs to rise up and replace the GOP. As long as they exist, the U.S. will always be held back from progressing, whether it's with racism, climate change, science in general, income inequality, whatever, the GOP needs to die. I don't mean it needs to change; it needs to end.
@earl-of-trumps saidBlocking is almost all they know how to do. They blocked every move of Obama for six years.
The GOP is a do-nothing party. They cannot even play a good role blocking the expansionist liberal agenda.
And they have no one that can lead.
They and Trump also managed to block the Census this year. Closed it down early.

Advances in human progress, social, technological, business or otherwise is outpacing traditionalism.
In a nutshell, the human species is dynamic, not static.
Conservatism, driven in large part by religious forces, has always been in fear of change that comes with advancement.
It is no surprise that it is the GOP that has to engage in voter manipulation tactics like gerrymandering and kneecapping USPS.
To suppress the liberal vote.
And don't kid yourself, Trump's increase in the popular vote is not due to an expansion of his base.
It is just the result of milking every last drop of his voter turnout from his desperate road show in the last week of the campaign, and to hell with the COVID risks.
Trump's base is maxed out !!

Nationalism is rising worldwide faster than your pathetic liberalism.
Countries all over the world are siding with their own.
The liberal stain is a north american phenomenon.
Which will backlash.
@mghrn55 saidThe biggest surprise in this election cycle was Susan Collins not only winning when every poll had her losing (some by close margins true) but by almost 10% in a State Biden won handily.

I think this suggests that there is still some possibility of a retrenched GOP rejecting the extreme white nationalism that Trump championed. Collins was hardly supportive of such rhetoric.
Loeffler's runoff will be an interesting test of whether Trumpism can survive in a State that is shifting ideologically.
