No. Did gall me to hear Mitch state unequivocally his knowledge of trump's guilt, laying it out as good as an impeachment manager, yet having chosen party over country. I thought some of them really believed the bullshit. Did not realize they really knew the truth but would support out of loyalty to party above all else including their country. What disgusting scum.
Reinforced groupthink by the GOP has been a staple of the party for over fifty years. It is a requirement for Republican politicians, and has created the rank-and-file right-wing voter base the Washington D.C. power structure has relied on for that same fifty-plus years period of time.
To remain a viable political party, the RINOs and trump's Nazis are going to be forced to do what both sides have sworn never to allow. They will need to... compromise. Failing that, one side must leave. Start a third political party, or do something treasonous, which, for trump's Nazis, is always an option.
However it shakes out, the Republican leaders are facing a rough patch of road for the next couple of years.
