Ridiculous as they were (Ted Cruz's father killed JFK, Marco Rubio is gay because he was swimming in a pool with other young men), enough paid-or-otherwise people fell for it. Sean Adl-Tabatabai and Sinclair Treadway, Jack Posobiec, Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, Jim Hoft, Michael D. Moore, Laura Loomer, Peter Thiel, and many others, rising in the ranks through this network, really changed the mindset of the online community. We saw it happen, it was revolutionary and bore no resemblence to the prior community before Trump's campaign. David Pecker also helped a lot. He quashed bad stories about Trump and published anti-Cruz material in the National Enquirer. Somehow, Alex Jones was brought in, with Roger Stone and Steve Pieczenik. We could estimate that the alternative community was flooded with over 100% more participants, chatting about stories that were formulated behind-the-scenes by professionals, supervised by lawyers, and implemented by internet wizards with tons of new cash to work with. Secretly, the elite's search engines, which they placed in a position of dominance over more honest search engines a decade before, all cooperated, as did the new "social media" outlets. To this day, there is a war against truther message boards, websites, blogs, et. al. that are not connected with or owned by the elites.
Meanwhile, on the mainstream channels, the rise of OANN under Robert Herring (a top GOP donor), the assistance of the Murdochs and their puppets at what was still the "old Fox news", and the brilliant hiring of Katrina Pierson (whose role is still underestimated) hammered home the talking points all night long to the American public, while the seedy underbelly was working on the under-50 crowd online. It was something a totally traditional Clinton campaign struggled to countermand, and it succeded late in a surge that barely overcome enough states to bring victory, along with which Trump paid back his dues to those who made it all happen. Will conservatives back this group yet again ? It's very possible. These things are not well understood, and never will be by enough voters. I do, however, believe there has been a maturation, and people are generally less gullible today than they were in 2016.
The onus is on the honest, to the bone conservatives, will they move on or back Trump again? He needs them all, but I don't think he can get enough of them this time. There is a lot of intimidation and deals taking place in the GOP. What IS the GOP, really? We're going to find out if any of its character remains. Otherwise, it's doomed. The Democrats can only mess this up themselves, but they won't. Not going in to 2022 or 2024. The Republicans are not going to win 2024 with Trump, period. He is a foil, at this point. If the GOP loses 2022 and 2024, there is no reason for conservatives to vote anymore. They are demographically incapable of winning national majorities or the presidency. Conservatism in the Democratic party would be a better avenue for exploration.
I don't think Trump will actually run all the way in 2024, because his poll numbers will be so low that he won't get the funding. His low poll numbers will impact the entire GOP effort. The pathetic ridiculousness of all this really says a lot about our form of government and how much it has failed us.
