I too listen to Rick and Molly's podcast along with the Bulwark's daily with Charlie Sykes and the Lincoln Project's new one.
I think 'Never Trumpers' are misunderstood by a lot of people on this board - that they are somehow in this for popularity or money, when what they're getting is pretty much the opposite. Most have been excommunicated from the party they've been a part of for most of their lives and many will never be welcomed back - they are trying to re-imagine what the GOP should be once Trump is gone, and though I don't agree with them on what that should be most of the time, it's really interesting to hear why they feel the way they do about Conservatism and what it means to them.
It would be great if the segment of Republicanism they represent were much more prevalent across the board, as it's with their type of ideological perspective that true bi-partisanship would be possible - they're not monsters to be destroyed, they just have a very different take on government than we do but are reasonable.
