I don’t think it’s accurate to say that the Republican Party has been hijacked by MAGA, maybe that was true in 2016 but the party has had multiple opportunities to sever ties with Trump and try to moderate itself but that hasn’t happened.
In the aftermath of the 2020 election interference & J6, I truly thought we would see a split where MAGA became a separate party but only a few Republicans members of Congress took a strong stance against Trump and most of them have been kicked out since then.
MAGA isn’t a fringe faction of the party, it IS the party at this point. Moderate/center right Republicans would probably have more success joining the Democratic Party and try shifting it to the center than trying to shift the Republican Party back to its pre-Trump era.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
