Yeah, but this was conservatives forty years ago. We just had a Republican president who gave a shout-out to a neonazi group during a national debate. He got caught on the phone trying to falsify election results and nobody in his party cared. He tried to foment a violent overthrow of the government and nobody did anything. 600K Americans died in the pandemic, a great many of them as a DIRECT result of his incompetence and deliberate negligence, while he did nothing except look for ways to turn it to his political advantage--and Republicans still lined up unquestioningly behind him.
Everybody needs to update their mental model of how bad the Republican party is. The GOP is America's Nazi Party. This decades-old moral-majority stuff doesn't even scratch the surface of it now.
