And they have indoctrinated their flock into Trump cultists. Or MAGA cultists even if DeSantis becomes the nominee. They still have strong beliefs in Biden working for the Devil himself.

So, even though I think there are a lot of R reps who want to move on past Trump, even just for the sake of stability and sanity, they will NOT put the effort into trying to deprogram the cult. To try and get their voters to see the advantage in compromise,, and working with Democrats again and dropping the wild conspiracies that Ds are satan worshipers and you must oppose any bill they try and pass because they are demonic beings.
No, Republicans are cowards at heart. They will take the road of least resistance, and least amount of effort to get their votes. And if their main voting base is built on misinformation and stupidity. That is what they will continue to use to control them
