Where have all the ‘Never Trumpers’ gone? I don’t mean the Republicans who went over to the other side and voted for Kamala Harris. They have joined the opposition, so to speak. No, I mean Mike Pence and Paul Ryan and the other conservatives who, in pre-MAGA days, were recognized as the backbone of the Right.

Everything that they were worried about has come to pass. Donald Trump is taking power again, only this time with no checks on his power. Both houses are slavishly loyal. The few Republican members of Congress who managed to get reselected while retaining a modicum of independence have been removed from positions of authority.
