Future of the anti-Trump GOP voters

[Tekken_Guy]

What happens to the GOP voters who turned against Trump in 2016 and continue to oppose him to this day, once he leaves office?

Depends entirely on who the 2024 nominee is.

Nikki Haley/Marco Rubio type? They return to the GOP.

Trump Jr/Tucker Carlson type? They stick with the Dems.

Tom Cotton/Ron DeSantis/Josh Hawley type? Unclear.

I'd move Cotton to the "Stick with the Dems" category as he's the worst of Bush era neoconservatism and the worst of Trump rolled into one. I agree otherwise.

A lot of the Never Trumpers are neocon types (John Bolton, Bill Kristol, Jennifer Rubin, Max Boot, etc) though.

LOL at Bolton being included with the other three. Bolton is a staunch war hawk who'd be perfectly happy with Rick Perry or Scott Walker as President. Kristol and Boot seem more McCain-type. Rubin is a Charlie Baker-type Republican and is literally the embodiment of these new Democrats.

They'll stay for a decade, we'll see after. If AOC becomes the Dems standardbearer then its easy to see this group switching back to the GOP.

Not necessarily. A lot of people weren’t thrilled with Goldwater in 1964 but slowly warmed up to his ideals by the time Reagan came around. We could see the same thing happen here.
