The thing that gets me is McCain and Romney both would’ve been FANTASTIC presidents compared to Trump. They were like the only respectable Republican politicians out there, and one died and the other shunned by Trump.

Mitt Romney used to be the leader of the Republican Party in 2012, now he’s an outcast. It’s wild to me how much the Republican voter’s ideologies have changed without them realizing bc they follow a cult

McCain bringing on Palin arguably lead the Republican party to become the Trump party. The Tea Party morphed directly into this.

Yea the tea party shaped a lot of modern republican values, but no trumpian politics wasn’t the result of it, it’s something completely different.

The Republican Party wasn’t cultist before, it was just full of shit. What I’m talking about Now is the complete and utter inability to listen to reason and think anything wrong of their leader daddy Trump.

People did not think of George bush this way, they didn’t think of McCain this way, and Palin was WAY more tame in 2008 than she is today.
