Let's hope not. If they disappear from history, it'll be all too easy for the same bullshit to happen again. I hope their nonsense lives in infamy and their names are spoken with scorn. That's the least they deserve for enabling Trump all this time, and then being too cowardly to hold him responsible at long last. I'd have had some respect for them if they'd snapped out of it at the end, but instead they chose to double down.
