hate radio, FOX news, and Russian Internet trolls.

There's no fall back to normalcy other than to become a Democrat. There is also the feeling among the few non-cult GOPers that Trump is a useful idiot. Most likely, though, most Republicans in office are as indoctrinated into the cult as the base. You have a few older GOPers like McCain, but they're rapidly fading. When there gone all that will be left are these fanatics. America has one political party and one ... I have no idea what the current GOP is. A troll for Russia, Saudia Arabia, etc... appears to be what it is these days.
