And this is why the Republican party is gone.

Every single noteworthy member of the party has either been voted out of office, or in many cases voluntarily stepped aside rather than suffer the embarrassment of an election defeat. Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell, just to name a few. I’m not saying I’m a fan of any of them but they all essentially saw their influence in the party vaporize at the hands of Trump and were all basically forced out of politics in various ways. The problem is that, at the end of the day, they stepped aside willingly. They continue to support the man that led the charge to force them out of office, and the party that did nothing to help them but stand back and watch it happen. They stood up and spoke their peace about Trump and how bad he is for the country, while also stepping aside and continuing to endorse the man and the actions they were speaking out against.

Their response to essentially losing their jobs to even more MAGA crazies is to thank the man responsible for it and ask for more. Even in defeat, these spineless cowards thanked their abuser and asked for more. And all there is coming up the pike are people who are lining up for exactly the same thing, thinking that they will be the special case that Trump won’t abandon the nanosecond it suits him. So the cycle continues.
