    1. In retrospect the failed putsch of Jan. 6 was likely the last chance the GOP party elite had of severing ties with Trump. They could have coalesced around a quick removal (either through 25 Amendment or impeachment). Instead the party is becoming more Trumpified than ever.

        2. Only 10 Republicans in House voted to impeach. Only 5 GOP Senators voted to move impeachment to a trial. It's extremely unlikely that there are many more than 5 votes to convict. Instead of dislodging Trump, current battle has shown how hard it for GOP to quit Trump.

        3. Worth looking at the state Republican parties, which show the pattern of Trumpification (and indeed in some cases QAnonification). Oregon GOP says Jan. 6 was false flag operation & condemned anti-Trump congresspeople.https://twitter.com/AndrewFeinberg/status/1353829436978843649 …

        5. Hawaii GOP tweeted out support for QAnon and praised a Holocaust denier (complete with tooth brush moustache). To be fair, com. person who tweeted that fired, but still a sign of where party was that they held that post.pic.twitter.com/8xSv0IXkw7

        6. In sum, the party still belongs to Trump emotionally and to McConnell institutionally. The idea of finding points of unity with such a party seems ... naive. More here:https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/trump-republican-impeachment-democrats/ …

        Well they colluded with the rioters, right? Or did they not? Did we ever find out?

        to be specific, the moment was somewhere in between McConnell's trial balloon supporting impeachment and his erecting procedural obstacles to moving to trial immediately

        They were never going to change their minds. They full supported invalidating the votes of mostly minorities. They failed in that. They will continue to push their white supremacist bullshit because it is who they are.

        I think it's a mistake to lay what's happened to the GOP on Trump's shoulders; it's been a long process of stoking the misdirected anger of their base and it started in earnest with Tea Party and Palin if not before.

        Palin was a prototype for Trump, yes, but the seeds go back decades. Gingrich, Reagan, Frank Schaeffer and the Religious Right, Nixon and the southern strategy. This is ultimately about them still fighting desegregation.
