That's their secret, Captain, they were never good.

And neither are the Dems on the whole but at least they're not outwardly trying to create a Christo-Fascist nation

I can't really get behind the "oh Republicans have always been this way" angle and feel it's just another minimalization. There's definitely a malevolent edge to them that's broadened its scope to larger and larger swathes of the population as 'deserving' of some sort of retaliation in the last few years.

Okay that failed.

But yeah, the GOP was always bad. They simply became worse.

The only thing that changed is that Trump showed them they can be upfront about their views without tanking their electoral chances. That's it.

GOP was always garbage. They just wore reasonability as a disguise.
