You dance with the one who brought you. Who else was there? Ron and Rand couldn't get past the primary, and Rand's shown himself to be a proceduralist as well.
It's been interesting to see who cucked and who didn't. I honestly expected people like Crowder and Razor to cuck, but they didn't. Styx initially cucked until he got ratioed hard by calling people "salty" for taking issue with the fraud, and his whole "Beijing Biden" thing is kinda cringy.
Then there's the people who you get the sense would be more upset about being wrong about Trump giving up than by Trump actually giving up. I've lost patience with those people. You'll never win with them, and they're the sort who in the olden days would have been shot for sowing discontent among the ranks.
Lots of moderates already cucked. Tim Fence Sitter Pool has, he's already walking back his claims about Trump winning and doing the "I denounce violence" bullshit while trying to sound like he's sympathetic to why they resorted to what they did.
I see tons of people already saying it was Trump that instigated the violence and that we need to start "healing".
Lots of GOPers who are concerned about their careers already denounced him to crawl back into their ivory towers.
The populist rebellion failed, and as Tim Fence Sitter Pool has said, now they're going to lock up the tower and throw away the key.
At the national level yes. In retrospect it had a low probability of success, prior to Trump no one was talking about flipping the entire nation to a nationalist populist platform as a viable option, but it was still worth hitching our wagon to him to give it a go. And I don't regret doing so. And I appreciate him finally, at long last, throwing in the towel so now we know he isn't going to be the guy.
Now we go back to pre-Trump era politics: we are on our own, and there is no one to save us. All politics is local now: your next-door neighbors matter, your local sheriff matters. Except that now we know there are a lot more of us than we originally thought, and we now know that effectively no-one in politics at the state-level and above is on our side.
I liked the man, but I think he would have been far less effective than Trump, because he was more of an ideologue. Trump's pragmatism is the only thing that allowed him to accomplish anything at all.

Who's the next MAGA though. Everybody looks cucked as hell.
I nominate Razorfist.

Ron was the only modern candidate that I actually liked, but the third-party is a death knell for victory hopes. Shame.
