The Grand Old Party, founded in 1854 in Ripon, Wisconsin, is now dead. What’s left is a dwindling number of elected officials who have stood up to Trump but are now being purged. Even Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell’s popularity has dropped 29 points among Kentucky Republicans since he broke with Trump.
In its place is the Trump party, whose major goal is to advance Trump’s big lie that the 2020 election was stolen from him. Its agenda is to exact vengeance on Republicans who didn’t or won’t support the lie or who voted to impeach or convict Trump for inciting the violence that the lie generated, and to keep attention focused on the former president’s grievances.

As the Trump party takes over the GOP, anti-Trump Republicans are abandoning the party in droves – thereby weakening it for general elections while simultaneously strengthening Trump’s hand inside it.
It is great news for Democrats and Joe Biden.
Democrats couldn’t hope for a more perfect foil – a defeated one-term president who never cracked 47% of the popular vote, left office with just 39% approval and is now hovering at an abysmal 34%, whom most Americans dislike or loathe, and a majority believe incited an insurrection against the United States.
The gift will keep giving. Courtesy of the supreme court, Trump’s tax returns will soon be raked across America like barnyard manure. Expect more of his shady business dealings to be exposed – more payoffs, cheats and cons – as well as civil and criminal prosecutions.

I’m listening to the CPAC speech, and so far there’s no mention of revenge against RINOs or anything of the sort.
I guess he must be using dooooog whiistllles. Wooooo!
He never tells the enemy his plans it would be stupid you listening to the CPAC speech?.
Reich says that’s all he’s about, revenge. I’m sure there will be some revenge of some sort, but he’s talking about a positive future agenda, not internecine bloodbaths.
Trump know how the democrats operate and he out smarts them every move so far he’s 2-0 game leader.
He knows how to misdirect them, of which this article by Reich is an example. I call it the Groucho/Margaret method. But he didn’t anticipate the November 3 steal. Who could? It was massive. And the Reichstag fire at the Capitol was a total surprise, too. Now he’s playing it skillfully, but these are not the cards he would rather have been dealt.
You are correct, that was thoughtless comment. I suppose I was thinking of the draconian wuflu measures British people are enduring, but you’re correct about our very foundation being undermined due to fraudulent election.
