The Real Reason Thomas Massie Lost

Because in MAGA, the only rule that matters is obedience, and the moment you step out of line they turn it into a purity test. That is not party discipline, it is authoritarian garbage wrapped in grievance politics.

Massie crossed Trump and paid for it, full stop. The Atlantic clutching pearls over "party loyalty" after spending four years cheering every Republican who stabbed Trump in the back is peak hypocrisy. When the movement has an agenda that actually works for regular Americans, yeah, you fall in line or you go home.
