Where are the "good" GOPers like Hogan, Romney, Murkowski, and Collins on these issues? If they'd just quit the GOP and be independent like King is, they'd ate least have show they have some dignity

The problem is that if they speak up they will be voted out of office. I believe Cheney's one of the best and smartest Republicans, but she will probably not be voted for when she's up for election. And Kinsinger, her fellow Republican on the Jan 6th committee, says his family refuses to speak to him, even his parents! I can't imagine choosing a scumbag grifter like Trump over my own son.
That is exactly what Trumpers want good Republicans to do. They want good Republicans out of their party and out of their way so their corruption can't be stopped. The minute those elected Republicans leave the GOP, any influence they have to stop the Trump craziness is gone. I don't know why a lifelong Democrat who only turned Republican a year before running President gets to define in perpetuity what the Republican Party stands for. There is going to be a conservative political party, so isn't it better for conservatives to stay in the GOP and work to fix the problems instead of struggling for relevance as an independent or a Democrat? Absolutely. I'm with former GOP Chair Michael Steele on this topic. I think remaining a Republican doesn't mean you don't have dignity. I think Liz Cheney could not be showing more dignity right now.
The problem is that these people already have no influence, even if they remain in the party... if they CAN remain in the party. I doubt that they can. Most of them seem to be retiring or not running for re-election.
Perhaps. But when the building is burning to the ground, you need all hands on deck to do what can be done to either save the building or the surroundings or both.
Conservatives kowtowing to white supremacist authoritarians is dignified how? Quit the party and form a new one dedicated to ideals, not racism and a culture of personality

There is really something horrible afoot.
Hogan has been saying things like this for a while. But he is term-limited and will likely return to the private sector.
That sounds like good German talk in 1933

That would be great except the Republicans are pushing out of the party.
