Republicans with hearts and souls. Pinch me I must be dreaming.

... “Their tough-guy acts and f***-your-feelings s***-talk have become a furious whine of complaints and recriminations as a toxic slurry of rage and despair has left a stinging bile in the back of their throats that won’t go away. Trump lost, and they can’t spin their way past it," he wrote.
Mr Wilson went on to say that Republicans will start distancing themselves from Mr Trump, adding that “it would leave them with a sense of shame if they had any.” At the same time, he said certain supporters “still imagine some miracle emerging from the wreckage of Trump’s campaign”.
Blasting the “grubby sellouts”, Mr Wilson said those who were involved in fanning-out conspiracy theories about George Soros or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were worse than the Republicans who jumped fully on board the MAGA train.
“That goes double for you motherf***ers who went inside the Trump White House and kept promising that you were the one who was stopping all the bad s*** from coming down,” he writes. “Either it was always a lie from the beginning, or you sucked at your jobs.”
Mr Wilson warned the incoming Biden administration not to fall for apparent messages expressing goodwill and said: “The other side will work daily to sabotage not only a legislative agenda but the nation itself.”
“Remember, the Trump GOP is shorn of all ideological and philosophical pretence, and even when Trump leaves office, it’s not over. His cultists’ reign of terror will shape elected GOP members as long as he and his foul spawn walk the earth unpunished.” ...
