^ can you say "donors to GOP political campaigns"?

Easy for passionate-wingnut-vote courters to ignore the opinion of like 10 former secretaries of defense and Senator Romney and his bipartisans and everyone else right of center who has complained about the qanon-ing of the GOP.

But this? Not so much. Can't run a campaign these days exclusively funded by Proud Boys.

Put a fork in the seditionist movement, it's done.

(At least in this country. Some wild speculation for fun. Saw some rumors via flight plans filed that Trump's flying to Scotland, his golf club, on Jan. 19. Would make a lot of sense given that he's also having trouble with Palm Beach about being a permanent resident of Mar-a-Lago due to contracted issues about it not being a permanent residence of anyone. Then extradition proceedings as he stays on and on and on? UK has notoriously just refused to extradite Assange citing "mental health" issues...hey, LOOKING MORE PROMISING FOR EXILE every day! I am pretty damn sure that Biden, even though he keeps to the "e pluribus unum" message, would be grateful to have Trump's face missing on Jan. 20. Pence can serve as the symbol of transition just as well or better.)

Scotland will be back in the EU soon - better not plan on an extended stay.
Maybe he can settle in that new enterprise zone in Saudi.

seriously, the GOP is in deep shit! It's going to take a lot for "big business", their main donors, to trust them again! Far and above tax cuts, #1 desire is stability!

Romney's like their only friend left! They're not about to give money to the Pander to Populist Yahoos Party.
