> Ending Four Tumultuous Years Under Trump Not a true statement I'm afraid. Look at the number of votes he got. Trumpism isn't going away any time soon.

Yep. Absolutely disgusting what the Republican party has become. They would gladly auction off our democracy for more flags on their F-150s. At least they can't go any lower, right?

>> Ending Four Tumultuous Years Under Trump >Not a true statement I'm afraid. Look at the number of votes he got. Trumpism isn't going away any time soon. Tumult(n.)[0]: "1. violent and noisy commotion or disturbance of a crowd or mob; uproar: The tumult reached its height during the premier's speech. 2. a general outbreak, riot, uprising, or other disorder: The tumult moved toward the embassy. 3. highly distressing agitation of mind or feeling; turbulent mental or emotional disturbance: His placid facade failed to conceal the tumult of his mind." I imagine that many on every side would agree with that statement.

  Eh, I was referring to the 'ending' part not being true.

I think this very much remains to be seen. There’s a history of movements like this, essentially based around one figure and lacking a coherent ideology, crumbling once Dear Leader is perceived as a loser. It’s not inevitable that that will happen in this case, but it’s certainly plausible. I would assume that most of his bluster about actually winning is aimed more at casting doubt on this in the minds of his followers than any realistic hope of overturning the process.

  Not to make people nervous or anything but the US has had a president with non-consecutive terms before. It's not implausible to imagine Trump continuing to direct the Republican party while out of office.
