    The party that hates its own base just won an election. That’s because its own base consists primarily of assorted fucking idiots

      The GOP loves their base of assorted fucking idiots, though. Hell, some of the fucking idiots made it to federal office.

          I mean yeah what’s not to love about that? MAGAts are the ideal voter base for a bunch of fascist. The sane wing of the party probably isn’t thrilled, but those aren’t the heart of the party anymore.
