Republican moderates may contemplate starting over with a new party by 2025. Dwight Eisenhower would probably urge them to.

President Dwight Eisenhower starts a trip from Glenview to Evanston to give a speech before a crowd of thousands at Northwestern University in August 1954.

How did he do it? As president, Eisenhower created visionary programs to keep the American people prosperous, safe and free for decades: the Interstate Highway System, for example, and space-based surveillance. The latter program was, of course, top secret. When the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial in Washington was dedicated in summer 2020, Republican President Donald Trump was fomenting the kind of social unrest that Eisenhower loathed. Never did the Eisenhower legacy seem so remote.

Currently, their party is on the way to nominating for the presidency an individual charged with numerous felonies. The prospect of such a Republican presidential candidacy would have been unthinkable 10 years ago. It is now the new normal.Even if Trump is convicted of crimes before the 2024 election, the Republicans may still nominate him. The MAGA base is unappeasable: Followers’ lust to divide our society for the fun of it and make rational governance impossible shows no signs of diminishing.
