If the Democrats drum up the courage to purge fascism, the dance of the next 25 years is going to be: I wasn't a Republican Ok I was, but I wasn't a Trumpist Ok I was, but I didn't mean it Ok I meant it but I've changed Ok I haven't changed but this is different for inexplicable reasons Etc.
Better Things Are PossibleOne drum I keep beating is that the Trumpification of the Republican Party is irreversible. Even after he's gone it will be exclusively cranks, charlatans, and malevolent antisocial goons. "It was always like that"-it wasn't! It's gotten steadily, measurably worse, and he was the nail in the coffin
