I won't argue there's a bit of something extra with Trump and the MAGAs, even aside from Jan. 6, but I just really need to pushback at the widespread idea that the Republican party was filled with wise old men with wrong but serious ideas about governance until 2016. Before it was Trump's party, it was Newt's. And then it was Karl Rove's.
And if you say Bob Dole, well, Roger Stone was a Dole man. Stop it!!!
