Unfortunately from what I see on FoxNews there are a lot of R's that deserve the following slogan: "I'm not MAGA...I just hang out with them"
Most of them simply will not call out their "brethren" no matter how disgusting, crazy or factually wrong their post is. They are convinced that the Dems are far more the real problem with the US.

For what it's worth, I registered Independent after voting Republican for many years. I talk about the dangers of Trump and, of course, have been accused of TDS and dismissed many times. You are correct - we need intellectual honesty, but we need it on both sides. If reasonable Dems aren't willing to call out repressive environments on college campuses, the ridiculousness of "defund the police" movement and the curbing of parental rights with respect to their children's gender identity issues, they can't come down hard on GOP not pushing back on MAGA.
There are plenty of Democrats who do voice support for exactly those positions but the media is only interested in controversy so defending moderate positions gets very little attention.

100% agree, but the problem on the GOP side is a Code Blue at the moment and the Dems aren't anywhere near that these days.
