What will happen once Trump leaves office? It’s not good.

A Precarious Path Ahead for the GOP After Trump's Era
As Donald Trump nears the end of his presidential term, questions loom over the direction of the Republican Party. The landscape is shifting in ways that could redefine American politics.
The Uncertain Transition
Donald Trump's reign, marked by aggressive executive actions and controversial policies, has left many wary not only of his actions but of what lies beyond his term. The ideological battle within the GOP intensifies as factions vie for influence, with Vice President JD Vance emerging as a potential successor.
Beyond Trump's Shadow
While Trump may lack a coherent ideological backbone, the factions rising within the Republican Party are deeply ideological, proposing shifts towards nationalism and postliberal ideals. These changes challenge the traditional conservative values, stirring debate over America's foundational principles of individual liberty.
The Ideological Divergence
As the GOP prepares for a post-Trump era, the contention between established conservatism and the emerging new right will shape its future. With JD Vance positioned as a likely leader, the voice of traditional conservatism risks being overshadowed by a push towards a more authoritarian and nationalist agenda.
"The GOP's future hangs in the balance as we brace for the post-Trump political landscape," writes columnist Dace Potas.
