Despite the American People orchestrating the exile of the double-impeachee who lost his Party the House, the Executive, and the Senate in a single term, inciting his goons to attack the U.S. Congress after the democratic verdict, the more incorrigible of his cult continue to fester, but the Republican Party is showing signs of recovery.
The glitzy, impudent Matt Gaetz model may be outmoded, and the reliable retro version of conservatism again ascendant in the GOP.
"On January 6, 2021 a violent mob attacked the United States Capitol to obstruct the process of our democracy
and stop the counting of presidential electoral votes. This insurrection caused injury, death and destruction
in the most sacred space in our Republic... The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob,
and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing.
None of this would have happened without the President.
The President could have immediately and forcefully intervened to stop the violence.
He did not.
There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States
of his office and his oath to the Constitution."

As they prepare to face primary challengers, the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach then-President Donald Trump after his supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 raised significantly more money during the first quarter of 2021 than they did two years earlier.
[A]t the Conservative Political Action Conference, Trump called out all 10 by name and told his supporters to
“Get rid of them all”
in next year’s elections.

The group, leveraging the power of incumbency, also swamped their GOP primary opponents in almost every instance during the first round of fundraising since angering Mr. Trump with their votes, new Federal Election Commission filings show...
The race for Wyoming’s single House seat is a good example of the dynamics at play. The $1.5 million raised by the main campaign committee for Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the highest-ranking House Republican who is contending with impeachment-vote consequences, represented almost five times what she raised in the first quarter of 2019...
Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, perhaps the most outspoken critic of Mr. Trump among the 10 Republicans who voted for impeachment, raised more than three times what he did two years ago, pulling in around $1.1 million during the quarter for his main campaign committee. He had $2.5 million in his campaign fund at the end of the quarter.

"Bye bye."
