The New York Times surveys the wreckage in Michigan in the aftermath of Biden flipping the state and two of its GOP Congressmen voting to impeach Trump, with this part standing out in particular:
“The Michigan Republican Party is ‘more Trumpy today than it was before the election,’ said Jeff Timmer, a former executive director of the Michigan Republican Party. The former president’s electoral coalition failed, he said, but its adherents are so vehement in their beliefs that the party cannot acknowledge or learn from its mistakes. ‘That’s why Trumpism will continue long after Trump. People who weren’t around four years ago,’ he said, ‘people we had never heard of, they now control the levers of the party.’ He added: ‘When you make a deal with the devil, the story usually ends with the devil collecting your soul. You don’t get it back and have a happy ending.'”
