"You can't win, Vader. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."
Two events just happened which I think are related:
Everyone knows Donald Trump won the Presidential election. Everyone here knows it.
And Trump knows it. So why did he stop fighting in the end?
Let's say Trump had kept fighting, maybe even used the military to stay in power and jail the dems. Even if you favored that move, you have to admit that would have led to an incredibly volatile 2021. Maybe 2022 as well. How would the Republicans have reacted? Most of them would have reacted the same way they did during Trump's first term: They would have backed him as long as they needed his help to win re-election, and as soon as they got that help to stay in power in 2022, they would have gone back to backing the establishment. AKA, they would have followed the Mitch McConnell model.
So any progress Trump made would have mostly come from his EO pen. Same as the first term.
But what if...this was all Trump's plan? To expose the cheating, to prove that the dems literally stole a presidential election and GOT AWAY WITH IT.
But perhaps more than that...he exposed the Republicans. He forced them all to in the end side with him, or side with the establishment.
Most of them sided with the establishment. That will likely prove to be their undoing.
At CPAC, Trump said empathically that he was NOT starting his own party. He also added empathetically that he was going to take over the Republican party.
What if this was all Trump's plan?
What if he knew that as soon as he left office as President, that the establishment Republicans would go back to siding with DC over the American people? So that would mean that all of Trump's good works would have a temporary impact at best.
But what has he done by leaving office and letting the dems get away with stealing an election? He's galvanized his supporters to almost blindly support ANY candidate he endorses, and he's galvanized them to almost blindly REFUSE to support ANY Republican that did NOT support him.
Trump is truly the Kingmaker for the Republican party. No person has ever held close to the power and sway that Trump currently holds over the Republican party.
Any candidate he endorses in 2022 will likely win.
By winning a 2nd term, Trump had the chance to reshape America into a great country again. For 4 more years.
By letting the dems get away with stealing the election, Trump can now remake the entire Republican party with America First candidates who could hold office for 30-40 years.
We may have lost 4 more years of America First in order to get 40 more years of America First.
As always, Trump outsmarts us all.
