Given the state of the GOP electorate, is there any chance that a non-monster can win the nomination?

No. But there are a couple trying to buck McCarthy on committee appointments now that they're in the House. A very faint glimmer of hope.

What was striking to me during the speaker election fight was the utter timidity of the so-called moderates. Gotta wonder how much the environment of death threats has altered their behavior.

I wouldn't be surprised.

The success of the NAZIs and other fascists groups is their willingness to inflict pain and violence. It's easy to act immorally if you convince yourself that it's you it's others who bad.

Not likely. The cruelty is the point, it's a feature not a bug, and on and on
