Why has the Republican Party of Pennsylvania lost almost 20,000 members since the insurrection?

Remember when the stupid old Trumpian farts fell for the lie that Democrats were walking away from their party? Well, now the walking away is taking place in the Republican Party in droves all across the nation. (PA lost 19,000, OR lost 6,000, AX lost 9,000, and almost every state is seeing a decline). Not only that, if Trump starts his own Party, the Republican Party will be doomed, since almost half of Republicans would join Trump.

It seems like the conservative movement is now a train wreck. Thank you, Fat Donnie!

    Conservatives always end up losing.  Time and again history has taught us that change scares them and they resist, but it is inevitable. 

    The modern republican party has been slowly dying for decades.  

    Trump is possibly the last absurd nail in that coffin.

    That was a short little riot, not an "insurrection". Nancy and Chuck are a couple of old drama queens.

    I think Americans are pretty much disgusted with both parties... and rightfully so.

    they left because they're disgusted with the majority of Pennsylvania's political representatives, and election judges, who are corrupt Democrats. they run things, they buy and get kickbacks from companies like Dominion and participate in just screwing over their constituents.

    Because they saw through the con job being perpetrated by Trump and became disgusted with his childish and hateful behavior.

    People don't like trying to steal our validly cast votes, and Republicans tried to do just that.  Many registered republicans simply do not agree with the dominant segment of the party.  I left the Republican Party long ago (they violated my principles decades ago), but they are only getting worse, not better, so the migration away continues.  Democrats might be making the mistake in thinking that leaving the Republican Party forces support of the Democratic Party, but they ought to be careful about that. It isn't exactly true at all.

    We in the US need a viable third party badly.

    Back in 2008 it wasn't unusual for Republicans to state that affiliation with the qualifier "But not a Sarah Palin Republican." In the subsequent 12 years the GOP has become more and more the party of crack pots and hate mongers. Decent conservatives don't want to be part of that.

    They're just lost because when they made it to Pittsburgh they couldn't navigate the road system
