Okay, my prediction for 2023 is this fringe, extreme right-wing Republicans will become the new leadership of the Republican movement. Now, many of you may say, well, that has already happened. Well, in a way, but not really. You see, Donald Trump was the 100% extremist leader. He was the guy that championed the causes of white supremacist and other unfavorable characters. He’s the man that said, basically, hey, go to the capitol and stop this process. I’m paraphrasing. But let’s be very clear. It has now gone from Donald Trump, a person, to multiple leaders in Congress. I believe this new leadership dynamic will be led by people like
Marjorie Taylor Greene, and dare I say, Matt Gaetz, if he’s not indicted soon for trafficking an underage child. But I digress. Let’s go back to the reality of what’s happening. Remember when Marjorie Taylor Greene, the congresswoman out of Georgia, initially started saying things that were anti-semitic? She started saying things that were holistically racist. And then she even decided eventually to be a keynote speaker at an actual white supremacist rally coordinated by Nick Fuentes.
Well, remember, when her antics were first proclaimed, some Republicans actually voiced disagreement with her. She was taken off of major committees. Did that decrease her power?
Did that limit her ability to fundraise? Did that lower her profile? No. It did the exact opposite.
It increased her influence. It enhanced her profile. And she is now one of the most effective fundraisers for the GOP. Let’s be very clear. This dynamic that Trump spearheaded initially, has now been adopted by multiple members of the GOP currently in leadership.
There’s dissension obviously in the ranks, but I think they’re going to try to do something really strategic and 2023.
Because somebody has to appeal to the racist people in America. Somebody in the Republican Party has to still have a connection to the heart of bigots that support the party.
Now, I know some people may not like how I’m characterizing this, but the reality is racist individuals do vote. The vast majority of them are not going to vote for a Biden-Harris ticket. If you are a white racist, you’re not supporting a black vice president and a president who is okay with a black vice president, etc, etc.
So let’s be clear about the facts. The Republican Party, they still depend on individuals that are adverse to diversity.
They still depend on individuals to support them, who are contrary to the sentiment of coalition.
So how do they keep them? In order to keep that demographic, you have to have leaders, like Marjorie Taylor Greene and others, with some level of power and influence and leadership.
There may come a time, very soon in 2023, where the Republican Party transforms in a way that’s irrevocable. It will be no question as to who they care for. That’s my prediction.

In debate, Harris proved that Trump will only ever serve himself
Roughly two-thirds of Americans said Kamala Harris won her presidential debate against former President Donald Trump. Trump made a range of false claims throughout the debate, among them that immigrants in Ohio are eating household pets to survive — a claim that was debunked live by the city manager of Springfield, Ohio, a city Trump… -
The reckoning of the Trump campaign has begun
In response to declining poll numbers, former President Trump is adjusting his strategy, cutting back on campaigning in several states that were a major focus just weeks ago.

Kamala Harris’ theme is that she is not Donald Trump
Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are locked in what promises to be a tight presidential race, with the economy, as usual, taking center stage.

On Tuesday, Aug. 6, Democratic presidential candidate and current U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate.

Political momentum shifts in favor of Kamala Harris
A majority of Americans polled earlier this year said that they were disappointed with an anticipated Biden v. Trump rematch for the 2024 presidential election, indicating they were not particularly happy with either option. As those concerns mounted and President Joe Biden’s health visibly declined, President Biden announced that he would not seek reelection, and…
