The Republican Party is in a state of crisis.

The extremist group known as MAGA (Make America Great Again) is driving out the traditional wing of the party. MAGA Republicans are loyal to Donald Trump and his policies, even if those policies are harmful to the country.

Traditional Republicans have faced resistance from MAGA Republicans when they have tried to stand up for the party’s values. This resistance has led a number of traditional Republicans to quit the party.

Here is a list of Republican congressmen who have quit when faced with resistance from MAGA:

  • Adam Kinzinger (IL)
  • Liz Cheney (WY)
  • Anthony Gonzalez (OH)
  • Fred Upton (MI)
