The Republican party is quickly splintering into multiple factions:
• The moderate Republicans and “never Trumpers” who could not bring themselves to support an abomination against every principle their party ever stood for in the past, such as standing up against Russia or any hostile adversary, smaller government, reducing deficits, support for law enforcement including the FBI and capitol police, support our troops in the field instead of ignoring hostile adversaries who put bounties of them, free Trade and so much more. I certainly did not agree with many of their political standards, but at least they had them.
• The principled conservatives who may have supported Trump as the “lesser of evils” but, when he commits gross treason and incites violent, armed insurrection, agree he must be impeached and convicted.
• The two-faced cowardly Republicans who could not support impeachment in the House or conviction in the Senate, but then go on record saying that he is guilty but someone else should handle it (the forked-tongued turtles who say Trump could not be tried after leaving office, despite extensive precedent to the contrary, but were the ones who prevented the trial from starting while he was in office — lookin’ at you, #MoscowMitch).
• The wacko extremist TrumpubliQan fringe Qonspiracy theorists who form the core of Trump cult worshippers, who are enough to dominate the Republican Party but, on their own, not enough to win elections except in the reddest of red districts.
Maybe now it is time for the Republican Party to divide into two or three parties and see how well each can do without the others.
