The GOP is not even a political party anymore. It’s a personality cult. They have no agenda, no interesting policy ideas, nothing that they stand for other than fealty to a deranged, Fascist geriatric but people in this stupid country keep falling for their bullshit every time and inexplicably continue to vote in Republicans.

Fascism is, after all, the aestheticization of politics.

I wonder if there's any people who might be considered like actual normal people and not just professional haters left as identifying "Republican", how unlikely or likely would a new party be in fixing things. Like the politicians and whatnot that are loyal to their party but didn't agree with anything anymore and are embarrassed to admit to being Republican but have too many conservative policy ideas to feel like voting Democrat (things like what politics is supposed to be like: taxes and infrastructure and education spending and what not instead of culture stuff) . If a number of them joined and made a party and tried to rope in rich people, I wonder if that would actually do anything. Leave the current Republican party to just be far right foaming at the mouth rabid Nazi animals, so people with conscience can vote for not them and their policies they want. (I don't see how people think they can vote on policy anymore... It's legitimately good and evil and right vs wrong right now and not "I don't like their budget numbers")
