The pattern of R behavior goes back to the “Know Nothings” (at least). So I suspect that “Trumpism” merely let them enjoy their worst proclivities openly. What we must hope for is this Democrats don’t fall into some of their past follies in an attempt to return to permanent power (I’ll mention “Tammany Hall” here in the name of “balanced reporting” 🤪)

The Know-Nothings, the former Whigs (business wing) and the abolitionists (the now-extinct progressive wing) were what the GOP was created from in 1854. Now the Know Nothings run it.
