Isn't the GOP already pretty far right? There is further right still?

It’s not even really “right” in terms of traditional conservatism. It’s personalist authoritarianism with a mask of etho-nationalism.

Much.

There's a further right where the executive blatantly ignores court rulings, and an even further right where they arrest the judges they don't like.

There's a further right where INS deports, not just everyone without legal residency, but everyone who isn't white, and an even further right where they deport everyone who isn't "white enough".

There's a further right where all religious organizations other than christian ones are disbanded, and an even further right where christian organizations that aren't "the right kind of christian" are also disbanded.

This is, maybe, the first step. This is like the practice run. The real thing won't be stopped by court rulings; it's going to take gunfire (or at least the recognition that the military won't back them).

If that's the message they're taking from Mississippi electing a black, Democratic senator... TX and Kansas and others flipping, well good luck to them. The way I see it they've seen a total rejection of their ideological focus at the direct expense of everyone's bottom line, even for the people disinclined to notice or care about other matters.

Personally I think they're going to make fools of themselves and hand a brutal second drubbing to the Republicans in 2028 unless the Republicans grow a sense of self-preservation.
