  They aren't really talking about it but its a bigger issue than they are letting on the alt right can't win in a general election and the moderates can't win in a primary and they both blame each other for that the civil war in the party is a much bigger issue than is currently on the surface.
context: The fact is this is a third rail for the GOP much like abortion, Support for Ukraine is broadly popular across a huge spectrum of the American public and the fact that the support that the US government is providing them is producing positive effects way beyond thier cost is going to be a hard point to sway from.  Not saying its not possible but it will require a large amount of misinformation to change peoples minds. In my mind how hard they push to try and stop aid for Ukraine is really going to be the measuring stick of how beholden to Russian power they really are. >
  
  Based on their past words and actions, they're probably gonna go all in on it. Those people have more love toward Russia than toward their own spouse. And it's not like being on the opposite side of the popular opinion  has ever stop them before. >

  And then call our allies in Europe and Asia wimps for not helping us after we abandon Ukraine to its fate and show we're no protection against Russian aggression. 
  It's like they think our dominant position in the world is due to forces of nature and not the hard work of lots of people--meaning nothing they do can fuck that up. Which leads me to a bit of wisdom I got in the military: A quick way to learn you're not invincible is to act like you're invincible. >
  
  The GOP civil war. MAGA vs Establishment GOP. They are never going to agree on anything. MAGA should just rip the bandaid off and launch a 3rd party. GOP Establishment want nothing to do with them and are trying to marginalize them. >
  
  This is the first time in years the Republicans have had to be a coalition party. Their party is entirely made up of snakes who will devour one another at a moments notice for a crumb of power. They’re going to absolutely destroy themselves and they’re too stupid and craven to notice, stop it, or care. Super looking forward to seeing it get worse for them lol. >
  
  I find it interesting that the article manages to dodge the real elephant in the room (if you’ll excuse the pun): the reason why support for Ukraine is opposed by some in the GOP is because Russia has provided support to the GOP. 
  Don’t bite the hand that feeds you, as the saying goes. >
  
  Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of thugs. >
  
  The GOP being allowed to exist is a crisis in its own. >
  
  It’s just the alt right faction that believes everything Tucker says. It’s not the majority of the Party. >
  
  Even if so, the majority are demonstrating extremely poor judgement in remaining part of a hijacked party. >
  
  I completely agree. The GOP is broken in the House. The alt right won’t vote for bipartisan bills, and moderates haven’t forgotten that they’ve been called RINOs by the alt right for the past 6 years. I personally wish the Dems put up a moderate Republican we can all live with (like Murkowski). It’s doubtful McCarthy will get the votes he needs—if a roll call vote happened tomorrow anyway.
