Just vote for the right people for a decade and it can happen
The GOP fell to the MAGA crowd a lot quicker than a decade.
Ehh...not that much.
Sarah Palin was supposed to bring in the party's fringes for McCain in his 2008 bid. She was considered a nutter then.
One Obama later, and suddenly McCain was either the scum of the earth or the best the GOP has to offer, depending on who you ask, and those groups of people flipped in that time. Meanwhile Palin became a mascot.
Palin wasn't even invited to his funeral. Didn't speak to him one time in the year he was sick.
They've been falling for loonies for decades, sure, but that is tangential.
