But they aren't winning, and aren't becoming more powerful. The GOP is weaker and more fractured than it's ever been in living memory.
They have the supreme court, they have taken away abortion rights. Jan 6th happened which was an attempted coup and very few were charged, some that were, were even released. Trump is openly talking about election fraud for the upcoming election. Trump is talking about becoming a Dictator. That is just the big stuff.
Yeah, they aren't that popular, but that doesn't seem to be stopping them.
In any sane society these actions would be lead Trump to be tried for Treason and MAGA to be labeled as a terrorist organization.
They also have a very good chance at taking both houses of Congress. I believe either half or more than half of the state Governors are Rep, and same for state houses. They’re not at all weak.
