I've been hoping for a full on war between Trump's people and mainstream GOP since 2015.
Does the "mainstream GOP" of 2015 even exist anymore? With the RNC now stacked with Trump loyalists, it does not appear so, outside of a handful of "former" something or others who make the Sunday talk show circuit. Seems to me the war has already been fought and decided
Mainstream GOP are now Democrat voters, tbh.
They really aren't. There are tons of "mainstream" Republicans who wouldn't dream of voting for a Democrat. The only exception to that, for some of them, has been when Trump is on the ballot, but we've seen them fall in line time and again down ballot.
Trump people ARE the mainstream GOP. It's literally a fascist party with a few paleoconservatives and libertarians hanging on until they either feel rich enough to quit or become fascists themselves.
You'll never get one, that's not usually how these movements go. The MAGAts will continue cannibalizing the GOP's corpse until there's nothing left. All the people crazy enough to support DJT will continue to gain power and prestige within the Republican community, and everyone with a brain will slowly be pushed out until they're an independent.
And yet, we keep being disappointed
