The GOPe has to go regardless. This is just a way to humiliate them.
Remember, the GOPe have always played along with being the boogeymen of Liberal popular culture. They graciously take their barbs from the media, Hollywood, academia. Their only power has been to convince Republican voters to stick with them because they’re the lesser of two evils, and because swing voters supposedly don’t like the true Conservatives that we love, like Sarah Palin and Trump.
They need to be kicked in the teeth and then dumped in a river. I’d rather the Democrats control everything, and inspire the people to rise up against them, than deal with the WWF fake fighting of the GOPe.
The purpose of the GOPe has been to maintain the pretense (and JUST the pretense) of there being any opposition to the socialist/globalist agenda.
The job of the GOPe, as a subsidiary arm of the globalists, is to get globalist stooges elected in conservative areas (areas that would not want to elect a Democrat) who will make nice noises, and then go along with the Dems on anything really important to the globalist agenda.
The reason both sides opposed Trump, is because he would not go along.
