Opinion: We have to destroy the Republican Party to save it

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : And it's fantasy to think it will ever go back completely to what it was: a small-government rather than anti-government party that favors free trade, immigration and international engagement, opposes tyranny and is fiscally conservative but at peace with a government-administered safety net.
53% : Republicans haven't broken with Trumpism, and Trump himself has improbably emerged from the infamy of insurrection to become the party's standard-bearer for a third time.
46% : "Voters lit a match in 2020 and early 2021, ousting Trump from the White House and then Republicans from control of the Senate.
43% : George Will, long the favorite columnist of traditional Republicans, four years ago urged voters to reject the party across the board, from Trump to "his congressional enablers, especially the senators who still gambol around his ankles with a canine hunger for petting."
27% : In the 2022 midterm elections, Republicans did win a House majority but barely; the predicted red wave was a trickle, and Trump got the blame.
23% : Yet Trump defies political norms, and so far he's defied the one that says parties won't stand by losers.
