Have republicans only lost their minds in the Trump era?

16. I think we tend to forget that Тяцмp changed the ...

… demographics of the Republican Party.

Every post in reply to your OP is an accurate contributing factor to what happened. But I think one of the biggest contributing factors was the record setting new voter registrations of people previously disengaged from politics. They were out there, but we didn’t see them well because they distrusted government and refused to participate in the election process. Тяцмp‘S overt racism activated these people, and they registered and got involved.

Now, they won’t go away.
