I think we can kinda sit back and watch things go to shit in the Republican party.
I've been seeing lots of MAGA folks spouting off about how Trump's nominations so far are "a betrayal of the America First promise" and the "President of Peace" BS that JD Vance kept spouting on the campaign trail.
Lots of labeling his picks Zionists, Warmongers, NeoCons, etc.
I know that Trump DGAF what his voters think now that he has their vote, but there are other Republicans who do.
1/
Not that they care so much about the people, but they're planning on running again so need to at least pretend to.
MAGA is also complaining about Musk. I think mostly they're mad that the random $ winners weren't random lol, but they're saying they don't want him to have so much influence because they "didn't vote for him!"
I don't even want to repeat what they're saying about Ramaswamy, it's mostly racist.
2/
As for the Muslim population who voted for him, they're livid at him tapping Huckabee.
Republicans also think many of his picks are stupid and I have no doubt that lots won't be confirmed. Matt Gaetz for one won't have the votes. He's not qualified, for one thing - but most Rs dislike him because of all the shit he pulled. Being a Trump lackey won't be enough to pull him through.
These people can't work together, I predict a pretty chaotic time for them.

@nonayadambidnes They will all be confirmed. The GOP always fall in line. They are grumbling now, but by January will be onboard
@ToruOkada @killingfloorman Until things start affecting THEM.
@nonayadambidnes Maybe. But they are the last in line for scapegoating. And the invisible illegal immigrant undermining their economic success is a powerful ideological tool to distract from the money accumulation of the Musks. Or maybe the #Brexit excuse will do: "Why is reality punishing us for our vote?" The learning curve is not steep at all with these people. @killingfloorman
@ToruOkada love that learning curve line 👏👏👏
@killingfloorman I don't want it to be misunderstood as "these people are idiots". Some are but others not. It is rather a problem of bias - they deliberately avoid challenging their views because it is painful to admit a grave mistake. And let's face it - nobody is free from bias. @nonayadambidnes
I don't know. I know there's going to be a ton of pushback on Gaetz for sure. Although I'm glad Trump didn't tag Paxton who is even worse.
@killingfloorman @nonayadambidnes that part 👊🏻😡
@killingfloorman And #MAGA will also fall in line. It will be the "The Führer didn't know about the concentration camps" excuse. @nonayadambidnes
