    That’s not entirely fair to say. Trump is certainly a critical component in all this, but absolutely none of it would be possible without the Republican party being so eagerly complicit. They let him make the big, loud, unfavorable moves and support those moves as quietly as they can.

      The Republican Party has always been full of Republicans. The reason that someone like Taco was able to walk into the place, slap his name on the place, and do even worse things than they were doing before is no accident.

      When people in the Republican Party pine for the party of “true conservatives” and pretend they don’t understand what happened to their party, they are obviously ignoring decades of history, including the work of hate radio and Faux News.
