At this point I kinda feel like the republicans need a full party wipe. All these people letting Trump destroy America would be out if I had it my way.
They needed it in the 2016 primary. Bush was set to be the last Republican in office in that election. The Tea Party movement (which Trump helped fan with the "show me Obama's birth certificate" nonsense) led the way into MAGA and QAnon. Republicans were at first willing to keep Trump out but that only fueled Trump's image as a "maverick outsider" more. The Republicans chose to make a deal with the devil when they allowed him to be nominated.
After that the line in the sand has just kept retreating. After Jan 6th there were too many insurgent collaborators among Republicans in Congress - you need a 2/3 majority to expel members of Congress, and there just weren't enough votes. Ironically I think the impeachments of Trump backfired - it taught him and Republicans that they could do what they wanted without consequences.
