I never liked those guys but while we disagreed on most things, they were sane and patriotic.
These people are now all nuts, no honor, no decency, no respect for our country, its future, its history, its traditions.
They are killing our country and care not a whit for it.

(10,402 posts)(A) the ones in denial, who refuse to accept or acknowledge what their party has become.
(B) the lazy and ill-informed, who more often than not vote Republican out of habit but have failed to research what positions and policies their party practices.
(C) The grifters and corrupt, the ones who are quite aware of what their party has become, and seek to gain power and wealth by catering to or profiting from its corruption and shift towards authoritarianism.
Of the three factions, the grifters are the most powerful of the sane Republicans left in their Trump-era GOP.

(42,642 posts)My Grandpa was a proud Republican who voted in every election and he always paid his taxes on time. He served in WWI and his only son served in WWII. He was a great American who passed away in 1980.
It's very lucky that he died before Ronald Reagan became President, because my Grandpa never would have accepted what has happened to that crazy Party since then.

(9,259 posts)I'm not sure "sane" is the question here.
The question, as I see it, is if there are any republicans out there who aren't simply reflections of the worst aspects of Trump's personality.
They hate what he hates. They judge what he judges. They care very little for anyone who isn't like them, and will support Trump as long as he deals with the ones they hate, and want to see punished.
It matters very little how much they suffer, as long as the ones they hate suffer more.
Trump supporters are casually cruel, and totally unconcerned about the wreckage left in the wake of Trump's rampages. Trump can do whatever he pleases, and his hardcore base will still support him.
They aren't insane. They simply lack love, compassion, empathy...all the things that actually Make America Great.

The Eastern world, it is explodin'
Violence flarin', bullets loadin'
You're old enough to kill but not for votin'
You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin'?
And even the Jordan river has bodies floatin'
But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
How you don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction
Don't you understand what I'm trying to say
Can't you feel the fears I'm feeling today?
If the button is pushed, there's no runnin' away
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave
Take a look around you boy, it's bound to scare you, boy
And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
How you don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction
Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin'
I'm sittin' here just contemplatin'
I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation
Handful of senators don't pass legislation
And marches alone can't bring integration
When human respect is disintegratin'
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin'
And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
How you don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction
And think of all the hate there is in Red China
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama
Ah, you may leave here for four days in space
But when you return, it's the same old place
The poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgrace
You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace
Hate your next door neighbor but don't forget to say grace
And you tell me
Over and over and over and over again, my friend
You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
No no, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

(10,402 posts)They either said or did nothing to stop what the Republican Party has become or stayed in denial the whole way through. Either way, they cannot be trusted.
