The political fissure now runs right through the republican party, forcing GOP moderates and the sane to stand with democrats while the MAGAs adopt DJT's egotistical belief that all of America is with them.

This gross miscalculation by the republican party could cost them in elections yet to be counted. Unless they use deceit, and it's clear that's not beneath them.
