The election is over. Joe Biden and the Democrats are back in charge in Washington DC. Much like President Obama, Joe Biden has been careful to fill his cabinet and department heads with experienced professionals, with very little legal or political baggage, leaving Republican lawmakers little choice but to confirm them.
As Republicans adjust to their diminished stature in Washington, and with Trump facing an avalanche of legal and financial woes, the once powerful GOP is now consumed by infighting over the party’s future, with opposing factions in open disagreement about how to deal with the rising tide of extremism on the right that grew out of Donald Trump’s presidency. Finger pointing, name calling and disagreements between GOP RINO's such as Mitch McConnell and Trump loyalists have left the party fractured and demoralized. To make matters worse for the GOP, Joe Biden and the Democrats are now 8 - 10 points more popular with voters than during the best days of Trump's reign
So - Where does the GOP go from here??

The post-Trump identity crisis that’s fracturing the GOP
Republicans will soon be forced to choose sides in the Senate, where Donald Trump will face an impeachment charge of inciting a violent insurrection. But the party has struggled to separate the former president from the deeply loyal base of supporters he left behind.
