TFG and his followers aren't Republicans, or conservative,

They don't believe in the rule of law, democracy, the constitution, the truth, or elections they can't corrupt for themselves. The longer their party refuses to oust tfg and the fascist group, the more elections they'll lose, and it will take their party longer to recover . TFG is a serial liar, and a career criminal and con man, working at destroying the republican party. TFG is a fascist dictator wannabe , not a republican. Republicans could start by working with the democrats to retake the Speaker of the House position to stabilize their party to fight the fascist until they can oust them. If the remaining republicans don't align with Democrats, their party could be done.

With all due respect, your assessment of what is or isn't "Republican" is not up to date and is dangerously blind to the current reality.

How can they NOT follow him blindly?
He’s everything they’ve always dreamed of but never had until now.

But they're definitely reagan republicans, the type who blame people who are unlike them for their problems. All the while, they champion the wealthy interests that pollute their water, keep their wages low, and deny their insurance claims while those wealthy interests' profits go up and their taxes go down. Shame.

They are a doomsday cult.

Stand back and watch them fade from the pages of future history books.

Somehow, they relatively stayed ethical during Nixon.

Gingrich finished them off.

those who are still sane within the GOP will flip to become Democrats after 2024, or at the latest, 2026. The remaining die-hard GOPers will be the batshit crazy wing of the present GOP. They will shrink to become 10% of the electorate. But, they will play the kingmaker role by being the 10% that will sway votes on controversial bills making their way through Congress.

Thus, again, the conservative side of America will continue to dominate. The only way to avoid that is for the progressive side of the Democratic party to gain leadership position and install a Speaker who speaks progressivism. Then, that Speaker can choose to ignore all bills and amendments by the conservative arm of the Democratic party.
