The Republican Party Post-Trump - What Will It Look Like...?

McConnell warns businesses of 'serious consequences' after many condemn Georgia's restrictive voting law
I wonder what type of consequence they can impose given that they have been enablers all this time? If all of their policy is around capitalism and unbridled pursuits of excess, how can you punish businesses?
I guess they are going to single out companies that they disagree with specifically, which looks petty and suspect AF?

MAGA twitter is going full lefty and many even want these industries to be nationalized
^^^ Yeah I saw that earlier this week. AFAIK, the regulation of social media companies through Section 230 is to counteract social media platforms leaning left (or rather, platforms that cater to the masses, which lean left), and so Republicans are regulating areas where they are disadvantaged.
I can't see what type of legislation they can pass that would harm/deter any other corporation that doesn't actually play into Democrats hands from my perspective, especially since Republicans rely on large donors and the business world so heavily. I feel like the only things they can do to punish companies are similar to the Delta situation where they relinquish tax breaks, which to be honest, would have possibly been a pro-Democratic move in any other city. It feels like the more that Republicans try to stick it to others, the more they risk ostracizing the parties responsible for keeping them in power. Perhaps the tides have shifted more in the business world, since a tax break for being friendly to Republicans doesn't do shyt when faced with a national boycott.
Tbh, I think that Republicans will get more aggressively indifferent to norms and values as their party wanes in popularity. It makes sense that the party shifts to try and win by hook and by crook given how morally bankrupt they have been for decades, but it is going to look a lot like a 3rd world in the interim possibly

No. Twitter isn't real life. It's still Trump and then everyone else. DeSantis may not want the national office either. Ron is handling his state the right way and is more polished. Three years is a long time from now, so other names may pop up. Pence doesn't have a shot. Noem killed her chance with the veto of the transgender bill.

their party isn't waning in popularity.. it's just becoming more mask off ws
@Rell Lauren Baris did a special livestream yesterday talking just about this. Other than maybe Trump, nobody in GOP leadership is has the balls to talk about & run on these popular issues.
