The Trump Hangover That Won’t Go Away - Has nine years of breathing in number 45’s exhaust finally taken its political toll?

There has been a drastic reduction in progressive fervor to put Donald Trump out to pasture in 2024. Despite the stark reminder of the former president’s legal problems, the January 6 incident, and talk both brash and bold, long gone are the folks, armed with hand-painted signs at the ready, protesting the man at every turn and on every issue.

When Trump surprised everyone by winning the 2016 election, progressives organized loudly, donations to candidates and causes rose, and the political landscape was forever altered. By osmosis, it seemed, well-coordinated protests erupted; in two years, America had the likes of radical progressives taking over the House of Representatives.

Where did that drive, that energy go? Has nine years of breathing in number 45’s exhaust finally taken its political toll on what was once a forceful and dominant movement?

Teflon Don

Perhaps the progressive machine has faced the hard, cold truth: Donald Trump is going nowhere. Many Never-Trumpers have also petered out and decided the fight was futile at best. Trump’s opponent, Nikki Haley, did not attend the Conservative Political Action Conference this weekend. Possibly because event organizers are “ All in for Trump.” Haley is not backing out, though, and has promised to run at least through Super Tuesday.

“We’re kind of, like, crises-ed out,” said Shannon Caseber, a security guard in Pittsburgh who spoke to a prominent New York newspaper on the subject of progressive malaise. She also referred to the potential rematch as a “dumpster fire.” Caseber continued: “Any sense of urgency that we had with the 2020 election — I think it’s still there in the sense that no one wants Trump to be president, at least for Democrats, but it’s exhausting.”

There are still a few anti few Trump bots posting here on Free Republic. When their hatred against Trump gets called out they start in on the Trump supporters calling them just about every name in the book and likening supporters to cultists. It’s sad but pretty sick at the same time. Guess in their world defending who you support to run the country equals absurdity especially when it conflicts with their group think.

Let’s be honest. Failing or neglecting to talk about the achievements of Trump (during two impeachments) is all the industrial Deep State in DC. Trump threatens their money-making abilities i.e. endless wars, graft and corruption. Therefore, they must stop him. Nothing positive only negative propaganda.

These are people who don’t give a damn about the country let alone you or me. It’s all about “THEIR” way of life; their endless graft & corruption and money making through endless wars.

Trump threatens them so all hands-on deck to rid the world of Trump. I’m just prayerful President Trump’s security keeps up and keeps protecting him and his family as well as they have.

Ever notice how the people who seek to enslave the whole world are constantly using words like “freedom”, “democracy”, “constitutional”, etc.? They hate all those things.
