I'm struggling to put this into words. Maybe someone can help? I'm not so sure the right-wing in the US can be successfully mobilized anymore. I don't mean militia preppers or internet fascists, they're their own thing. I mean the boomer chuds in the suburbs who put Trump signs in their front lawns. They were in it for Trump himself and that's it. Of course they're going to vote for anyone with R next to their name, but there's such a lack of enthusiasm in the general population for anything political. Everyone's either fallen back to the fringes, or they're hanging on to memories of 2016, or they're actually joining cults.
It's also entirely possible that the people in the US most interested in voting (older, suburban white people) died of covid in alarming rates and simply no longer have a voice, so there's an illusion of lack of enthusiasm.
Also, I'm not going to be surprised if the Republicans win the House with over 300 seats in 2022. My gut also says they'll run generic White Business Guy in 2024, instead of some kind of flamboyant charismatic figure.
Judging by what I see people I know post on Facebook, they got so extreme and insane that anyone remotely normal couldn't handle them, so they just started being quieter about it around people who aren't similarly riled up.
If they're anything like my relatives, they'll either get so far down the Q pipeline their politics don't resemble anything rational and they'll even start to claim the Republicans are Satanists, or they'll succumb to their short attention span and stop caring about voting or who the president is.
He'd lose if that's the case. His voter base has stopped caring or become so insane they think he's a hologram. The bourgeoisie also have nothing to gain from him.
He won by razor thin margins of 20k people split across three states and was unpopular his entire 4 years. The ruling classes also don't seem pleased with him. They basically eradicated him out of normal American media too, which should really signal how done they are with him.

Trump will run in 2024.
He'd lose if that's the case. His voter base has stopped caring or become so insane they think he's a hologram. The bourgeoisie also have nothing to gain from him.
The last sentence is the one that matters.
I think its likely to be much closer than you expect, at best.
He won by razor thin margins of 20k people split across three states and was unpopular his entire 4 years. The ruling classes also don't seem pleased with him. They basically eradicated him out of normal American media too, which should really signal how done they are with him.
I think in the run up to 2024 he'll make a lot of noise about running again but ultimately wont because he knows he'd lose.
He’ll take money for a run. It’s easy money.
Hasn't he run in every presidential election for the past 2 decades or so?
