4. In defeat, the GOP will have a party where elected officials are the ones in seats where Trump is most popular: the whitest, most rural places. A more extreme GOP.

5. Further, Trump has made GOP very unpopular with young. So the young who are in the party now are the minority of youth who like Trump. They will be the future of the GOP.

And as
@pareene laid out a few months back, this process is only going to accelerate from here as the old guard dies off and is replaced by the young Trumpist core: https://splinternews.com/charlottesville-was-a-preview-of-the-future-of-the-repu-1797988745 …Thanks.
