Can the GOP be considered a Trump cult if it votes to acquit Trump?

[S019]

Honest question here. If the party votes to acquit someone who basically told a mob to invade the Capitol to stop the Electoral College count, does that party even stand for anything anymore? Do they still stand for the Constitution, that they claim to love so much? I mean during the Trump presidency, we saw that the only thing that they passed were tax cuts and judges. We had numerous articles about Mitch McConnell and other top Republicans being unhappy with Trump's actions. Yet, here we are, is the party a cult at this point? Is unflinching loyalty to Trump, now the sole requirement of being a Republican? Does anyone still trust that the Republican Party respects democracy?


It's a sad day, when this is actually a serious thread, and not some trollish, "haha gotcha" thread, but we live in sad times, sadly. My vote goes to Yes, for the reasons I outlined above, and as a former Republican, I am deeply saddened to see the party go this route.
