From top to bottom, the national GOP organization could soon be rid of anyone seen as insufficiently MAGA.

First came the internal grumbling about Ronna McDaniel, the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee.

Then came McDaniel’s decision to step down from her post at the end of February as she lost the support of Donald Trump.

After that came Trump’s move to put forward a slate of loyalists to take over the party’s top spots—including an election-denying state party chair, a Trump campaign senior adviser, and the former president’s own daughter-in-law.

Next could come the purge.

“I think within 30 days you’ll see a purge of staffers from the RNC, because it’s a hotbed for anti-Trumpism,” Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist and host of the War Room podcast told The Daily Beast. “That’s the open secret.”

Skeptical holdouts within the RNC have gotten the message: Their days are numbered.

    To all those in the GOP that cinicly thought they could ride the Wave of Fascism and come out unscathed:

    You failed. Inevitably.

    Enjoy being dragged to the Gallows you eagerly helped raising.

    You will only be missed, because MAGA is slightly worse then you.

      Turns out the party of lying about virtually everything in order to funnel money to the rich couldn’t figure out how to separate itself from the lies of populism when the liar in chief came along. They had no mechanism to say wait, not those lies, only these lies.
