    There are no Republicans. That was their larval stage, before they morphed into their final form -MAGA.

      I don’t like this framing as it exonerate Republicans (even if that isn’t what you intended).

      These absolutely are Republicans, and this is what their party has been about since at least Watergate.

        No it doesn’t, it indicts all of them in the crimes of MAGA. When this is over, MAGA will be designated as a serious, ongoing, violent, seditious, national security threat, and prohibited from existing, promoting, or recruiting, and that will include Republicans. They will have to start a new party, with a new name, that abides by newly reformed campaign Finance laws, and no previous MAGA will be allowed to hold office under 14A/S3.

        The Republican Party is officially dead. They can revive the Whigs.
