    Trump appointed a family member as the GOP chair and it looks like Baron is being setup to get another nepotism appointment. That fucking rot goes deep.

    I don’t disagree that most GOP politicians want him gone - I don’t think he’s ever been popular with senators or house reps… but everyone still in an elected position is either a true believer or someone who knows to keep their mouth shut - the fucking voting base is insane. As a parallel I’d point to our unfortunate BC provincial politics where a party attached the conservative label to themselves and jumped from 0 to like 40% of the expected vote share overnight.

    Conservatives are fucking crazy and do not give a shit who their actual reps are - they’re entirely identity based voters.
