TJ Walker argues the Republican Party has become a Trump personality cult where the only unforgivable sin is treating him as a regular politician. Representatives like Thomas Massie and Bill Cassidy were punished not for abandoning conservatism but for prioritizing the Constitution over Trump's interests, behaviors once central to principled conservatism.

Thomas Massie didn't lose because he forgot how to be conservative. Bill Cassidy didn't lose because he forgot how to be a Republican. They lost because they committed the only unforgivable sin left in today's Republican Party. They treated Donald Trump as a politician instead of a cult leader. Massie opposed Trump on Iran spending and the Epstein files. Cassidy voted to convict Trump after January 6th. Saying the Constitution and the country were more important than any one man. That used to be called principle. Now it's treated like heresy. That's why I don't think we're looking at a normal political party anymore. We're looking at a personality cult wearing an elephant costume, and the costume is rotting. Ultimize. Ultimize.
