All they care about is the grift they’re pulling today. If you’re a republican at this point you’re either a white supremist, a billionaire, a psychopath, or an idiot. There’s no middle ground any more.

These are no longer "Republicans" in that way... no longer "Conservatives"...

These are simply MAGAts, no more and no less, and completely subjugated by Mafia Don Mangolini.
