That way, the appropriate changeovers and such can be put into place.

He's still as racist, stupid and mean as ever but his party saw that his flavor of conservativism doesn't appeal to independents and he literally caused a trend that has held in modern politics to be nearly completely bucked in the midterms with the House being barely won by Republicans. \nThere are still his die-hard adherents but his messaging is now old-news, and people want something to believe in, what that is will be determined but one thing is for certain, 2023 will offer a vision into the climate trajectory 15 years or so down the road to give us an idea of just how fucked we are due to El Niño. In addition to climate, the economic shuffle that is being done to keep all the plates spinning looks like it will finally manifest as the wealthy choose to put their wealth into savings to reap the rewards of high interest while they wait for the market to crash once capital dries up for new investment. \nBut Trump, he's a man out of time now, he had his moment and thankfully it seems to have passed.

What these GOP politicos fear is the Republican electorate and more specifically those Republican voters in their own voting district who could easily primary them out of a career.\nIf Trump holds such sway with the Republican electorate such that he can back a challenger in a Republican primary then there is a real job security risk here should these folk maintain a firm opposition to Trump. This is why so very, very few people continued to oppose Trump. Very few politicians value country over party or even party over their own career. And extremely few really have any basic morality or principles which they would cling to and use to denounce Trump.\nBut... this fear only is valid as long as Trump truly is favored by the rank-and-file GOP voter.\nThe recent elections have shown that Trump has an astoundingly poor track record of his chosen actually winning elections, especially general elections.

In addition to climate, the economic shuffle that is being done to keep all the plates spinning looks like it will finally manifest as the wealthy choose to put their wealth into savings to reap the rewards of high interest while they wait for the market to crash once capital dries up for new investment. \nBut Trump, he's a man out of time now, he had his moment and thankfully it seems to have passed.
