I think you're correct, but the emphasis needs to be on the "history" part.
There is no consensus to be reached with Marjorie Taylor Greene or Matt Gaetz. Even the "reasonable" republicans like Moscow Mitch eventually fell in line with all things Trump. The small government fiscal conservative GOP party simply no longer exists. The only faction they have retained from the early 2000s is evangelical Christians.
You can't find middle ground with people who deny facts for political gain. The only reasonable response to the current GOP is to allow them to continue losing general elections until they either move more to the middle, or splinter into multiple parties.
