John, The 2024 presidential cycle kicked off early when
national embarrassment and disgraced former president Donald Trump
announced his candidacy. The announcement was nothing more than a
desperate attempt to complicate the many investigations into his
corruption.

The old GOP establishment is slowly but surely trying to pull their party
away from losing another election by backing Trump. Former Republican
House Speaker Paul Ryan has proclaimed that he’s a “never-again Trumper.”

Here’s the thing, even if Trump doesn’t clinch their party’s nomination,
it won’t change the fact that anti-American MAGA extremism is baked into
the GOP’s voter base.

The disdain for minority groups and hostility towards programs to help the
poor and working class have been in the Republican party for much longer
than Trump. It’s what the GOP stands for.

Despite its name, Trumpism is not a symptom of Trump, it’s a symptom of
decades of Republican rhetoric.

Just like everything in his life, Trump didn’t succeed within the
Republican party by building something new, but by taking advantage of
what was already there. Even “make America great again” was first used by
Ronald Reagan.

All Trump did was come along and sell the same old policies Republicans
had been peddling, but this time without the facade of courtesy.

Trump has encouraged Republicans to embrace the darkness and bigotry that
they quietly harnessed for decades.

The new waves of Republicans are more and more like Trump: from Ron
DeSantis’ cruel governing style to Marjorie Taylor Greene's brazen
disregard of reality, and Herschel Walker’s woeful incompetence.

Even after Trump is gone, his influence will ripple for decades through
the candidates he has inspired.

It’s painfully clear that the GOP has a long way to go before it can
cleanse itself of the stench Trump has brought. Having your support in
this fight makes all the difference.
