As soon as Republicans purge Trump we'll start hearing how senile kid sniffing commie skeleton Biden is going down.

You certainly have the Trump part of the party willing to do anything to sound just like him...probably for that 2024 run but also because they still fear his tweets.

Honestly though so many times over the past four years people have jumped to Trump's defense because posters were not "giving him a chance" or "he didn't say that" or whatever that it is phenomenal that as soon as as he was losing power it stopped almost immediately.  Maybe they finally recognized him for what the rest of us already knew him to be?  Maybe they are embarrassed?  Either way it like a switch went off.

Meanwhile Trump hasn't done anything different:  He tweets, lies and golfs and grifts.  Which makes the lack of defense OR speaking out against him all the more interesting.  At least to me.  I mean no one HAS to post about any particular topic but to see the change so suddenly beginning right after the last election was noticeable.

It's good to see all of that just fading into background noise but there are still plenty of his disciples out there to carry the torch for him and we'll need to people to stand up to them also in the future.
