Trump’s GOP Loyalty Cult Is Purging Republicans Who Put Country First

Donald Trump’s Republican Party is no longer organized around conservative principles, constitutional restraint, or limited government. It is organized around one test: loyalty to Donald Trump. In this episode of Filtered with TJ Walker, TJ examines the defeats of Thomas Massie and Bill Cassidy as warning signs of a deeper transformation inside the GOP. Massie and Cassidy were not punished for abandoning conservatism. They were punished for questioning Trump, defending constitutional limits, and refusing to treat one man as bigger than the country. This is not normal party politics. It is a personality cult wearing the shell of a political party, and the consequences for American democracy are serious.
