Mitt is definitely one of the more popular offenders but I remember sometime after Biden was elected there was a long string of old guard Republicans speaking out against Trump and MAGA called them all RINOs. I don't remember any specific names but it seemed like every couple days there was a new one and this went on for months. I'm sure by the time I stopped hearing about it at least 100 Republicans had been canceled by their own constituents.

Yeah trump was just so much more popular than any local Republican congress person. If you didn't bend the knee, Trump would just support the person running against you and shit talk you on social media, and then your political career was over.
