Instead of leaving after losing, Trump has turned the Republican Party into a crime family structure where he is the mob boss attacking those who defended democracy.

Anyone who thought that Trump would go away or fade from the scene after he lost had not been paying attention for the last six years. The Republican Party had a chance to boot Trump, but they were too weak, and the natural right-wing impulse toward authoritarianism was too strong to resist Trump.
Trump is running the Republican Party.
The media needs to understand what the Republican Party has become and stop treating it like it is a normal party. Trump is trying to clean out the people who opposed his coup so that when he tries the same overthrow again in 2024, there won’t be anyone left within the Republican Party to stop him.
Trump is acting like a mob boss, and that is the exact way that prosecutors should take him down.
