The party that couldn't find the courage to stand up to Gingrich's anti-intellectual nihilism got captured by the Tea Party.

The party that couldn't find the courage to stand up to the Tea Party's anti-intellectual populism got captured by Trump.

The party that lacks the courage to stand up to Trump's anti-intellectual racism is on track to get captured by QAnon.

The American people are better. Thats why the @GOP can't win democratic elections. Their power comes only from those institutions that do not reflect the popular will. (Senate, Electoral College, and if they get their way, SCOTUS)
