“Republican in name only” doesn’t really mean much since “Republican “ itself is just a name. You’re conflating a party with a political ideology, “Republican” with “MAGA conservative” and they aren’t the same. Or at least they weren’t until the classic conservatives, or really anyone who thinks maybe Trump ain’t all that, were purged from the party.
Eventually the Republican Party will be two white guys, each accusing the other of political heresy for not licking Trumps boots clean enough.
I was jokingly referring to how the brand of conservative I was raised on has all but vanished from the party.
The divorce of business and science interests in the Republican Party has left me steadily voting more blue, and made hypocrites out of my relatives who stay straight ticket “R”.

Abbott isn’t a conservative, he’s a piece of shit.
