I’m old enough to remember thinking how crazy it was that GW was somehow worse than Reagan…
Then trump showed up.
It seems like a forgone conclusion whoever is next will be worse. And I don’t know why everyone else keeps acting like the issue with modern republicans is trump. trump is the symptom, it might be the symptom that kills us, but it’s still a symptom.
So if you think trumps’s VP will be one the shittiest people, just wait to see whoever runs as a Republican next.
It’s been decades, we need to recognize this is a long term problem, and our solution needs to reflect that.
Constantly moving right, just drives the republicans further right to differentiate.
If Dems embraced progress, Republicans would run someone more moderate in an attempt to steal moderate voters. I don’t think we’d lose as much as we do now, but even if we did the worst would be someone closer to Biden than trump. And with wins meaning something again, participation goes up. Which is why Dems would win more.
Essentially, never think republicans have reached rock bottom, you’ll be constantly surprised. They can always go lower…
I 100% agree and have observed that myself. Whenever it’s like “oh thank god Hastert is gone” or “phew, finally rid of Boehner” they manage to find someone even worse.
Also, good point that Trump gets too much credit. He didn’t create this bizarre Republican psyche - he’s simply a perfect embodiment of their behavior.
It would just be awful if he picks someone like that, which is a possibility. Bongino or some other complete asshole from conservative media. For instance he said Laura Loomer would make a great WH Press Secretary.
Being awful is kind of his whole brand. I mean, even before presidential runs, he was known for pizza hut commercials and tasteless reality shows. He bought a gold toilet.
Wait, no. Hold on…

He bought a gold colored toilet. Still porcelain, just LOOKS like gold. Which if we’re being honest, is probably the better way to go. Solid gold would be a TERRIBLE toilet. Quite frankly, I’m not sure if the material could hold his weight.
Ugh, I saw another link there, “rumored running mate Tom Cotton”. Whoever he picks, it will be one of the shittiest people possible.

The disease is the media, owned by the rich with an agenda who have no oversight
I hear Alex Jones is available…
