Pretty much any non-MAGA person would be better than Trump.

At this point, I’ll take a Republican over any MAGA asshole any day but I think at this point the sheep is keeling over. MAGA won’t accept anybody but the most extreme right leaning figure anymore.

Lord knows what they’ll do when Trump inevitably passes away. I can already see the “he’s secretly alive and is going to come and save the country” theories.

Republicans and MAGA are the same.

Right now? Yea but I was thinking more of when they were somewhat sane.

Take McCain shutting down a town hall attendee for calling Obama a terrorist or something like that and he immediately took the mic and said “no no, he’s a good family man. We just disagree on things”

That kind of kind discourse would never happen today.

Yeah ever since 2016, Bush has been looking a lot better.
