    Dude, the GOP = MAGA.

    The republicans that were around during bush 2 are gone. That party is gone. The problem is that people that consider themselves Republican like the politicians from that era and before, haven’t not realized that the modern GOP is the same in name only.

      Those Republicans aren’t gone. They’re just Democrats now because the entire spectrum of political discourse in the US has shifted that far right.

      Remember when the Cheneys found themselves on the outs with the Republicans? Their alliance with Dems would have been utterly unthinkable 25 years ago, but look at them now. As Republicans move further right and Democrats keep trying to court “centrist” voters, all they’re doing is moving their party to the right.
