And so here we have an example of how extremism is often it's own worse enemy. Consider the tableau; their preferred candidate, Trump, is almost certain to be occupying a prison cell by the start of the November 2024 Presidential Vote, which will all but ensure his losing the election. Not that he would win without such a outcome anyway, as evidenced by the result of the 2020 Presidential Race. In any case, the point is that given Trump's liabilities that already cost him an election even without multiple criminal indictments, you would think that these people would be loathe to a priori rejecting anyone who lacks such baggage, and so might appeal to a broader audience. Instead, they enthusiastically condemn a contender whose relative charm, personal success, and ethnicity would be a powerful rejoinder to criticism of the Republican Party being a party for white people, and if he were to emerge as the choice might give them a fighting chance to broaden their appeal. But there's zero chance of them having the pragmatism to see this, as your article has made abundantly clear. Which means essentially that they are grave diggers shoveling the holes for their own burial.
