And soon it will be them leaving Twitter en masse for Bitchute now that Trump keeps getting "censored" and others like Bannon banned completely.
But that's staunch Trump supporters. A lot of the
good ol' fashioned Republicans, along with the never-Trumpers, will stick with the mainstream right-wing media that will (hopefully) continue to turn on Trump. That's where I see the divide. The cult of Trump will become the fringe, again, listening to Alex Jones tell them about gay amphibians while not making noise in the Republican Party.
I see a similar divide with the Democrats in that the 'socialist' progressives wanting actual change after 4 years of too-moderate Biden.
I think the voter turnout will take quite a hit next election. The young progressives won't want to vote for another moderate candidate that likely wins (assuming Biden is one term), and without the rallying cry of getting out Trump, I don't see the enthusiasm towards voting. Likewise, without Trump to vote for, I don't see the basement racist trolls coming out to vote for the Republicans. I think we'll see two relatively moderate candidates and turnout closer to 50% back like we had in the 90s.
But then again, it could end up being AOC vs Don Jr.
