What is left of the Republican party once you take away the defense of Trump and the reflexive opposition to Democrats? That's the question Samuel of Vozpopuli puts on the table, and his answer is that MAGA turned into a version of what it spent years ridiculing. Identity fixation, victimhood, going after anyone who dissents: all of it was once the movement's favorite complaint about the left. Then the priorities moved. Loyalty to Trump came first, then the hunt for enemies, then proving who counts as a "real" conservative. With Republicans having lost Congress, the belief question gets harder to dodge. Opposing everything, Samuel argues, is not the same as having a cause to stand behind.
