I don’t know and could care less about what Donald Trump announces tonight. Will he declare his candidacy? Will he start a third party? Will he ask for donations? What I am more concerned about are the lessons that Republicans have not learned from the mid-term elections. I have seen a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth from Republicans about the red tsunami that never happened. They are blaming Trump for their losses. Trump is blaming everyone else. They don’t seem to be blaming him for any of his bad behavior, however. If there had been a red wave, all would have been forgiven. They just don’t get it. What they are implying is that everything that had on gone before would have been okay if the voters had validated it.
The poison that is Donald Trump still infects us. Trump did, in fact, declare his intentions for 2024, and Trumpism is not dead. The Petri dish that is the Republican Party is still the perfect medium for,his poison. Have they learned their lesson? I think not.
