And that’s the difference.

The other conservatives DID go along with the MAGA takeover. Sure, there’s a remaining vocal minority decrying the current situation but they are decidedly a minority and have even less power.

The rest are either fine with it or have decided to stay quiet. Well, that’s on them. They decided MAGA as the conservative standard bearer was no dealbreaker. I’m sure if things change, they’ll be among the first to stick a knife in the corpse, just like the opportunists they’ve shown themselves to be, but in the meantime, they get to wear the label they’ve chosen for themselves.
