Oh, no, they'll devolve into infighting. There won't be enough shared ideals and actions to sustain Republicans as a political force. There will be fringe groups that linger on for a while. After almost three centuries, there are still two people left claiming the Shaker tradition; that's a group that forbids sexual relations even for procreation, so you can see how they'd have trouble gaining new members. But they're not a religious group that anyone really cares about, either. That's how MAGA will go eventually.

See also, Knitting Cat Lady, who is a former member of the Children of God cult, then the US Army, and then got a masters in organizational psychology around cults.

Fracture to irreverence where the component pieces eat each other. There is no future for the party after Trump except as various fringe groups claiming to be the "true" party.

I don't think I'd have it again, tbh. The texture of the batter isn't for me.

It's gluttonous as hell, though, and for state faire food, that's all that matters.

Season a tortilla chip with MSG and it will taste generically like Doritos. MSG is in everything, because it makes everything better.

When it's done well, beer cheese soup is heaven.

There's some bad stuff out there, though. I mean bad. Kwik Trip has some OK soup and some bad soup, and their beer cheese was at the bad end. I just couldn't and tossed most of it down the drain.

The processing causes the glucose to break down into fructose, which is perceived as sweeter. In the end, it's just different types of sugar in syrup form.

Cooking for two people, I do half a pound of thick cut bacon, and when it's done and the bacon off to the side, put in 6 eggs scrambled up right into the grease. I've found this is the perfect ratio of bacon grease to eggs.

At the Minnesota State Faire last year, I had deep fried cheesecake batter. Yes, this is correct.

Best taco truck I've ever had was in LA.

If you start taking small bullets to the head, you can build up a tolerance to taking larger bullets to the head.

Channels aren't doing that because they want to. YouTube has a lot of rules, some of which are written down. They do it because YouTube has flagged them in the past for demonetization on the issue, and they can't afford to do that too many times. It can also impact your ability to do livestreams.

It's on top of a pile of issues that's making YouTube content creation non-viable for everyone.

That would probably happen as part of a narcissistic collapse. In the most extreme cases, it may trigger suicidal reactions.
