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.

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 …

4. Pennsylvania GOP, once a more moderate part of the party, is now nearly all Trumpist and backing overturning of election.https://twitter.com/davidsiders/status/1354253975621488640 …

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/ …

So how do we keep a now openly authoritarian GOP from sweeping Congress in 2022 and placing their chosen in the presidency in 2024?

Require non partisan redistricting for the House by Federal law. Uncap the House size and impose Wyoming Rule. Pick up two Senate seats in PA and WI in 2022. Have Biden run for re-election in 2024.

He is almost 75 yo. Seems most likely Trump quits this world before the GOP quit him. What does post Trump GOP look like down this trajectory?
