The GOP certainly has its Plutocrat Pete wing, people who want to keep the taxes on their wealth low and have minimal government interference in their schemes to acquire even more wealth. Those people, for a variety of historical reasons, tend to be mostly white.
However, the GOP also has its Tea Party Tim wing, the bigoted troglodytes who migrated there after the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. Their main goal is to inflict as much pain and suffering as they can on the Sp*cs and N*gg**s...I'm sorry, I forgot to switch to Dog Whistle...I mean "illegal immigrants" and "welfare queens,' even if they themselves are hurt in the process.
What we have seen in recent years is the Tea Party Tim wing has come to dominate the GOP. It was always an uneasy alliance between the two factions and there were never that many Plutocrat Petes to begin with. That's why so many GOP politicians who previously criticized President Trump have become his ardent supporters. Those politicians know it's either support Trump or face the electoral wrath of the Tea Party Tims.

I thought the Tea Party was a thing of the past. Now that the Impotus (thank you George Conway) impeached deadhead has brought FASCISM and obedience to Putin and all things Russian to the GOP it no longer us what it used to be. When the impeached deadhead is removed by howsomever the residue detritus trash crap garbage left behind will take decades to disinfect. We may all die from trying. Thank you for your thoughtful reply SP and the graphics. When Ike was prez it wouldda been better to be a Republican. I liked him. Too soon old too late schmart! Happy Saturday to thee! :)
The Tea Party is a thing of the past because it has basically morphed into the GOP. Whereas in the past the Plutocrat Pete faction paid lip service to the Tea Partiers and largely followed their own agenda, the current GOP is utterly beholden to the MAGAt base.
For goodness sake, Senator Orrin Freaking Hatch, as solid an old-school conservative as you could find over the past several decades, faced a primary challenge because some people accused Hatch of being a "RINO" (Republican in Name Only).
GOPers are either announcing their fealty to Trump (cf. Senator Lindsey "Trump is a race-baiting xenophobic religious bigot" Graham) or retiring. Those are really their only options.

They are all CHICKENSH** scairdy cats. Sucking up and patting the butt of impeached deadhead 24/7 or running away trying to leave no trace of their existence. A pitiful lot of useless homo saps. All in the GOP. They cling to one another in desperation. They sound like one another because they dare not veer from the accepted script prepared for them by guess hoo? Their brains atrophied long ago. Now they just go through the motions in zomblie-like precision. Laughable if it were so tragic and dangerous. Thank you for your reply SP! :)
