Previous Republican parties would be (hell, ARE) disgusted with what today's movement has become. And if THEY'RE saying that, you know it's bad. Enjoy the grift though, you seem like someone who thrives in it.

Ok, but as I said, Trump is basically a 3rd party. He's wanted to run as the reform party in the past but it's just not possible in the US. So he's had to do it this way, he's cut the head off of one of the two main parties. People in the US have pined for a 3rd parties to fight against the failures of two corporate parties. For people not supporting the Trump party doesn't mean the idea of destroying two useless parties is wrong. But a lot of people do support it. It's like in the 1800s when the Whigs had no more purpose the people went to either the Democrats or the new Republicans. You were either pro or anti slavery.
It's up to both parties win back support of the people or else this new MAGA party will run the place for a long time. The Democrats have a lane, they can go further left. I think the RINOs are decapitated.
