I will say this... Trump had the POTENTIAL to be Reagan-esque in his legacy. No doubt about it. But it was his horrible, maldeveloped, almost sinister personality that leaves him all alone in history as the wackiest, wackadoo president of all time. Literally steps on his own wang in a way that will never be duplicated.
I will also say this, I learned a LOT from Trump's presidency; I learned a LOT about today's Republican party. It is no longer my party.
So I wait, along with the Turtle, until a day comes where I can once again show my face in public while proudly proclaiming my conservative party membership.
It's going to take an enlightenment era after Trump that's for sure. Perhaps I end up with the Dems if they have their enlightenment first.
Whichever party stands for responsible government, rule of law, while at the same time celebrating an individual's right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Oh, and one more thing.... THE PARTY THAT ****ING LIVES IN REALITY AND OUTSIDE THE REALM OF CAVEMAN-LIKE CONSPIRATORIAL THINKING.
No one GAF.
Deuces Valley.
... No really, deuces.

Here in Blue state Colorado the Republican party is trying to knit itself back together in an attempt to steer back to relatively moderate candidates which it used to have a lot of, but not sure it can come back from the abyss, partly because MAGA's won't support moderate Republican candidates. You could see this coming almost 15 years ago with the emerging Colorado Tea Party which was extreme in a lot of ways. I live in Lauren Boebert's old district (she moved to the neighboring district which is more rural and conservative and got the MAGA vote to win the Republican nomination even though she was for all intents a carpetbagger ). In my district, the 3rd, a Republican moderate won the primary despite the Democrats partially funding his MAGA opponent and despite opposition from the MAGA head of the Republican party at the time. Remains to be seen if he can overcome the Democratic candidate because the Democrats are throwing the kitchen sink in terms of funding to flip the 3rd district. Obviously the Democrats can play dirty politics themselves running a fairly nasty ad campaign for this seat . Maybe you have to live here to understand how far Left this state has moved over the last 20 years aided and abetted by the Republican party's extremism.

"Extremism?" Hahahahahah...
Who in the f*** thought (and thinks) de-funding the police is a good idea? Or open borders is (Against. The. Law)? Or going 'green' (i.e. equity/electric car mandates) is? Or the 'Inflation Reduction Act' was smart? Or President Trump wants to build internment camps? GTFO, with respect...
