the ones who are actually behind all of this—the Mitch McConnells and the other various GOP strategists
Are increasingly being forced into the Democratic Party by the baser reactionaries in the GOP. Guys like Micheal Bloomberg and Bill Kristol and “The Lincoln Project” have largely decamped from the Republican organization and started clustering around guys like Joe Manchin.
Trump was worse even than they thought
He didn’t toe the ideological line. He committed blasphemy after blasphemy - shaking hands with our nation’s enemies, not offering enough lip service to The Troops, failing to keep a polite distance from Christian fundamentalists, ostrasizing too many domestic business interests and their media flaks.
He hurt the GOP coalition as much as the country overall. They’re no longer even pretending to be a Big Tent, like they claimed under Bush and Reagan.

Rats sinking a leaving ship.
Here’s hoping even more. They thought they could use him and found out they couldn’t control him.
