After losing the House, Senate and presidency: Where does the Republican Party go after Trump?

Donald Trump's refusal to attend the inauguration of Joe Biden will go down in history. It was yet another break with tradition for Trump. One of many during his four years in office. It did not go unnoticed. The former US presidents: Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton -- who were all present at yesterday's inauguration -- used a video message to show that they stand with Biden, not only in his endeavours to lead the nation, but also in his respect for tradition and for the office of the presidency.
We talk to former GOP Congressman Denver Riggleman about the future of the Republican party.

“Believe in Truth. To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. If nothing is true, then no one can criticize power, because there is no basis upon which to do so. If nothing is true, then all is spectacle; the biggest wallet pays for the most blinding lights.” — Timothy Snyder, “On Tyranny”.

Thousands of National Guardsmen were allowed back into the Capitol Thursday night, hours after U.S. Capitol Police officials ordered them to vacate the facilities, sending them outdoors or to nearby parking garages after two weeks pulling security duty after the deadly riot on Jan. 6. One unit, which had been resting in the Dirksen Senate Office building, was abruptly told to vacate the facility on Thursday, according to one Guardsman. The group was forced to rest in a nearby parking garage without internet reception, with just one electrical outlet, and one bathroom with two stalls for 5, 000 troops, the person said. Temperatures in Washington were in the low 40s by nightfall.

“Yesterday dozens of senators and congressmen walked down our lines taking photos, shaking our hands and thanking us for our service. Within 24 hours, they had no further use for us and banished us to the corner of a parking garage. We feel incredibly betrayed, ” the Guardsman said.

Gotta agree with the former Republican congressman and speaking from a Singaporean perspective, there is a big threat from the Q faction of the GOP threatening the stability of the US

And it is up to the sane part of the Republican party to join forces with the Democrats to set up a strong pushback and even bring along mental health rehabilitation for those who have been possessed by the QAnon Conspiracy movement
