GOP Mantra: Party Over Country

In the wake of Donald Trump’s presidency, the Republican Party finds itself at a crossroads, grappling with its identity and the consequences of its loyalty.

Once staunch defenders of Trump, many within the GOP are now facing the harsh reality that their allegiance may have come at the cost of their integrity and the nation’s well-being. As the party struggles to distance itself from the corruption and chaos of Trump’s administration, it raises the question: has the GOP’s mantra of “party over country” finally caught up with them?

For years, the Republican Party stood by Trump through scandals, controversies, and impeachments, disregarding his erratic behavior and questionable ethics in the name of political expediency.

However, as the dust settles from the tumultuous Trump era, cracks in the GOP’s facade are becoming increasingly apparent. The party’s once-unwavering support for Trump shows signs of strain, with prominent figures speaking out against his actions and policies.
