All you need to do is look at the math...
And it comes down to race, in part...
Most minority voters take sides with the (D)s...
The much larger (but still finite) White Vote is split between (R)s and (D)s...
When you add-up the Minority Vote + White (D) Vote then the GOP has a problem on its hands...
The only way the (R)s win nowadays is to convince enough "Usual D(s)" [ Reagan Democrats ] and Independents to cross over and side with them...
You will NOT convince enough Independents and Reagan Democrats to take sides with you if you are arrogant and stupid enough to run Trump again...
Guaranteed...
Like it or not, January 6, 2021 locked-in that guarantee, and you will not change that, no matter how many word-games or excuses you serve-up, so...
America is suffering under the idiot Dems and their idiot policies and a Sane GOP could restore some sanity to the governance of the Republic...
You have a deeper and stronger "bullpen" of Alternative Candidates than the Democrats do, so...
For Christ's sake... USE that bullpen... get a couple of courageous, visionary younger people to start warming-up... you're going to need them...
You don't have to "take the word" of anti-Trumpers to figure this out...
Just do the math, and use your common sense.
Don't force me... and millions upon millions of other Independents and Centrists and Reagan Democrats... to vote (D) again in 2024.
Your whole screed indicates that you don't realize that Trump isn't the disease, he's the rash it's broken out into this week.
Pretty much since Nixon, the GOP has used racism, homophobia, xenophobia, misogyny and religious fanaticism to get stupid white people to vote against their own economic interests by playing on their racial, religious and sexual fears. Trump just got rid of the dog whistles and replaced it with a bullhorn.
The problem is, that doesn't work anymore. 30% of the electorate is non-white now, and growing. And younger white kids just aren't buying into the dog whistles anymore. This is why Desantis does well playing the homophobic card with older voters in Florida (AKA Death's Waiting Room) but in the rest of the country, that just doesn't play. Gays and blacks just aren't that scary to younger voters.
So if you take out the racial, religious and sexual bullshit, all the GOP has to run on is, "We want you to work harder to make the rich richer!"
And you'd have to be a complete fucking idiot to vote for that.
