He was persona non grata the second his presidency ended. Remember that he was literally the most unpopular president since polling began. He got out of office and vanished from the GOP. McCain's platform was already 99% of Bush's. If W had been on the stage with him he would've lost even faster.
And since then there hasn't been an opportunity for him to come back, even if he wanted to.
And the fascists keep marching along for their furher. >

For some he is their leader, for others he is their king, and I bet for a select few he is their god.
In the back of my mind, when thinking about them, I hear the Nine Inch Nails Song Head Like A Hole.
"Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve" >

Those lyrics are from Head Like A Hole, still a NIN song though >

Yea I had to correct that after re-reading my response.  It flipped on me for some reason. >

Happens to all of us, NIN rules though anyway >

it's an anti American fascist cult. >

Which is why it pisses me off that they call themselves patriots >

It’s a tactic of the Confederacy, mainly the Neo confederates.  The State’s Rights people portray themselves as the true patriots, fighting against the tyranny of the Federal government.  
Lincoln said, he doesn’t know if God is on his side, but he hopes that he is on God’s side.  
The conservatives have convinced (deluded) themselves that God is on their side, and that they’re the true patriots, so they can justify all of their actions.  
So they don’t view January 6th as an insurrection, and if they do, then they justify it as necessary. >

Remember how slavishly defensive the Republicans were of Dubya Bush?  How any criticism was giving aid and comfort to the terrorists who hate us and want to kill us because of our freedoms? How they groomed children to literally pray for him ("Jesus Camp")?
Now he's persona non grata, but the sentiment has moved on though the man was discarded.  The entire Republican Party is a tongue searching for a boot.
