The GOP is the party of Trump- they have abandoned all they claimed to have stood for. Fiscal responsibility, morality, honoring those that served, law and order, revering the constitution, standing with allies- all those things were cast aside without hesitation in their mad dash to chain themselves to Trump.

The republican party is the Trump party- you would have to be a special kind of stupid to think otherwise. Hell, even idiot Matt Gaetz understands that much:
As he said himself "This is Donald Trump's party, and I am a Donald Trump Republican"

Trump owns the GOP party leadership and the vast majority of the people that call themselves republican will support Trump no matter what atrocities he commits... as we saw from the results of the last election.

The GOP has plummeted into dangerous madness- they have abandoned reason and principles and embraced bigotry and conspiracy theory.

Their leader is trying to instigate violence here in DC on the 6th as a last gasp attempt to subvert democracy- and the republicans are fine with that- the only question is how many will have the balls to follow his orders.

They are the party of white supremacists, happy to engage in treason if it will gain them power.

Power- unchallenged and complete- is their ONLY agenda, and they have thrown away EVERYTHING in pursuit of that power. They have nothing left to lose, and that makes them all the more dangerous.
