What happened to the GOP?

I remember (or at least think I do) a time when the Republican party believed in government. I didn't agree with them, but was willing to believe they had a vision for how to govern. Then along came St. Ronnie, who proclaimed that government was the problem (even though he served eight years at the head of the executive branch). But ever since then, the GOP has increasingly abandoned any serious interest in governing. The apotheosis was the Trump administration, which wasn't government but a cult of personality.

The Trump cult still has a stranglehold on the GOP. Apparently, there are some murmurs of frustration in Florida that Trump's mini-me is also more interested in self-promoting revenge drama than government. But can the Florida GOP cut the umbilical cord to DeSantis? Color me skeptical.
