29. There are three sorts of sane Republicans left:
Wed Jun 3, 2026, 02:38 PM
Wednesday

(A) the ones in denial, who refuse to accept or acknowledge what their party has become.

(B) the lazy and ill-informed, who more often than not vote Republican out of habit but have failed to research what positions and policies their party practices.

(C) The grifters and corrupt, the ones who are quite aware of what their party has become, and seek to gain power and wealth by catering to or profiting from its corruption and shift towards authoritarianism.

Of the three factions, the grifters are the most powerful of the sane Republicans left in their Trump-era GOP.
