Spurred by the Riot, Thousands of Republicans drop out of GOP
Republicans self-destructed by following Trump. It's a self-inflicted wound.
In the week from Jan. 6 through Jan. 12, about 4,600 Republicans changed their party status in Colorado, according to a CPR News analysis. There was no comparable effect with any other party. CPR News was able to contact dozens of them by tracking changes in the state's voter file.
The number of people changing parties spiked immediately after the Capitol breach. The same phenomenon is playing out nationwide. News outlets documented about 6,000 defections from the party in North Carolina, 10,000 in Pennsylvania and 5,000 in Arizona.

On the dark side, America really needs the addition of more countrywide political parties. Should a successful far right movement grow from this, then it could be a good thing as their votes become diluted rather than concentrated into the Republican party.
Likewise, a proper liberal-socialist party could grow too.
