As Sen Tim Scott (R-SC) explains, the MAGA GOP embraces a concept that political scientists know as the "Führerprinzip," under which all the thoughts of all members of the party are fully subordinated to a single man. Scott: "There's only one leader of the Republican party. That person is Trump. Time for the party to remain united and divide the Democrats. We have too much in common . . . and the American people need to see one unison agenda with one vision led by president Donald Trump."

This was the "platform" espoused by my father. (I'm in charge of The Family. The Family should be cohesive. The Family shouldn't be divided by malcontents. I know what's best for everyone. I'm always right and never wrong. The Family is stronger united.)

Trust me, you don't want to live like this.
