If the Republican Party had half a brain, they'd not just be worried about 2024. They'd dump Trump, take whatever beating they get in 2024, do well in 2026, and run anybody but Trump against Harris in 2028. They'd probably dominate 2028.
> So he tries again. And this time the kid gloves are off. Everything is on the table. Literally everything.
Yeah, I'm worried about that too. I hear echoes of the Roman Civil War. Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon with his army because it was his only alternative to being destroyed by his political enemies. Trump is in the same position. (I mean, Trump is there almost totally because of his own doing, far more than Caesar was.)
The main difference is that the US army is not personally loyal to Trump, the way Caesar's army was to him. Trump may call for an uprising; way too many people may follow. I hope it's not enough to cause a full civil war, though.
