I've observed the Republican party from it's heyday in the 1960s with Barry "Mr. Conservative" Goldwater. I joined it at 18 in the early 1970s and watched it's slow downfall in the mid-80s when the Christian Coalition was allowed a major seat at the table (note Goldwater's remarks about it in his 1981 Congressional speech). The mid-1990s was a watershed toward it's collapse under Gingrich. The Neo-Cons added a few more nails in the coffin when they took power in 2000. The final collapse was with the election of Trump. I doubt any Republican who as sold their soul to Trump can ever recover. Those that didn't sell their souls are gone; either retiring, refusing to seek reelection or just dead.
This tweet by Lindsey Graham epitomizes both the recognition of the traditional Republican party on Trump and how it no longer exists just two years later:
If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it.
Graham was correct, but also a sellout of Republican values by selling his soul to be under Trump's grace.
As the French lawyer and philosopher Joseph de Maistre once wrote:
Every nation gets the government it deserves.
America can save itself or continue to wallow in it's current mess. It's up to us, We, the People, to choose our own destiny.
