      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/ …

          One caveat: Nobody knows what Trump will do. How will he exert his influence? Can he do the work to lead a party? (narrator: unlikely) Without his platform, Trump may be much weaker than most people think. McConnell's bet to ride it out is risky but not completely irrational.

          McConnell hasn't been riding it out, though--he's been using it as a lever to achieve his goals the whole time, and will continue to do so. If burning statehouses and kidnapping governors installs more Republicans in Congress, he will just keep quietly celebrating.

          Replying to @HeerJeet

          AFAIC, the only correct framing for the GOP now is that they're the political wing of the American fascist movement. Their commitment to (and outright connections *with*) the paramilitary wing is comparable to that of the mainstream political parties in NI during the Troubles.

          It IS naive but at the same time nobody can say "unity" was not tried. Before you go to full blow war, it IS the right thing to try. If it still ends up the way it was mostly always gonna end up, so be it.

          Is Trump to be considered the de fact nominee in 2024, or is he more likely the kingmaker?

          It's his nomination to lose, if he wants to run. Unless he's in jail...
