"Then, as the speaker system plays a recorded mash-up of the national anthem sung by participants in the January 6th insurrection, Trump melodramatically salutes."
Personally, I'm appalled and outraged that the Mango Malignancy salutes during the National anthem. The salute is the prerogative of the women and men in uniform: military, police, firefighters..., and should not be used by a civilian. No matter what the Mango Malignancy thinks, says, does or acts upon, he is no longer the Commander in Chief; basically, he's just another citizen. As such, he should take his hat off and put his right hand over his heart, anything else should be deemed disrespectful. (But then again, *nothing* the Sandstone Snowflake does shows the least modicum for our country.)

"But many are as conservative and Trump-supporting as [Mike] Bost, if not more so. Rep. William Timmons (R-SC), who has a 95 percent lifetime score from the right-wing Heritage Foundation, is facing an aggressive primary challenge . . .
What nearly all of these incumbents have in common is that their opponents hail from the far-right fringes of the party."
A 95% lifetime score from a reactionary hard-right organization still is not 100%. As we've witnessed sooooo many times since 2018, all it takes is one action or statement that misses the MAGA mark, even if only by a whisker, renders one as non-MAGA, and *must* be punished for their infraction. The MAGA Thought Police are busy sniffing out relapsed MAGAdroids like Mr Timmons; one is considered relapsed for even one small infraction of "the rules."
The only thing working in America's favor, imo, is that these reactionary asshats will win in their respective primaries, and then lose biggly in the general -- where the preponderance of voters are not MAGA cultists. The farther right MAGA moves, the more they express their desires to turn the country into an authoritarian/theocratic country ruled by the minority (while trying to usher in a "Christian" Nationalist version of American Sharia based entirely on perversions of the teachings of the Christ), the more they will isolate themselves from the body politic, ushering in a Biden second term and a blue majority in the House and Senate.
