Their silent complicity makes them part of the problem.

Agreed, these people were completely fine with subpar leaders for a long time. They only jumped ship because they saw it was sinking and they’re interested in self-preservation.

Ejecting the batshit party members will only help Republicans going forward.

I think they’ll have to make a tough decision to either keep going along with this shit or bifurcate. Cowards will just do the former, unfortunately.

Well, they had a chance to tell the Tea Partiers they were nuts, and didn’t. Doubled down and got Sarah Palin.

Now they’ve had 3 chances to tell the MAGAt’s to get bent… and haven’t.

The GOP isn’t going to be able to give up Trump until he’s dead - too much of their base is tied up with Trump for them to ever go against him. And even after Trump is dead, there will be a hundred disciples and imitators following in his footsteps, dragging the party further down the path of xenophobia, fascism, and corruption.

I think its going to be even worse. Because so much of the Trump cult of personality is tied to conspiracy theories, his eventual death from old age will not be believed, and a fraction of his followers will believe he was killed. I can’t imagine what that segment of people will do when their identity is so tied to Trump’s and they believe he was silenced.

Yep, Trump has already fucked the party. They think the party is going to go back to the McCain style Republicans when Kushner, Eric Trump, Vance, MTG, etc. are willing to step up and keep the nutters voting.
