What can you do as an anti-Trump republican when your whole party has gone full-bore Trump?
Libertarian?
The LP is dead, even by LP standards. They sold their soul for a pardon for Ross Ulbrecht.
Fight on policy grounds. Vote against MAGA legislation that is bad for the country. Get a couple of your colleagues to do the same (if you can...I got to believe there are at least a few that will follow a House leader with some balls) and play the very small majority in the House to your benefit. Fight like hell on an Anti-MAGA, true Republican, true conservative platform and beat Trump's hand-picked MAGA primary opponent.
Rinse.
Repeat.
And if you did get successfully primaried by a MAGA opponent, at least you went down swinging for what you believe rather than leaving with your tail tucked between your legs.
With a razor thin majority you can do quite a bit. He could have refused to pass any legislation until they cut some of the authoritarian stuff out. Demanded full transparency for Dodge, ICE activity, lots of stuff. And if its true there are quite a few Republicans in congress fed up, then they would have held quite a bit of sway.
It would be amazing to find out actual conservatives still exist.
True, other than it seems very little legislation is passing except the BBB, most seems to be executive orders. And, he didn't vote against the BBB, so he is protest-lite at best.
Someone that cares about the country standing up to him pardoning severe criminals would be a breath of fresh air.

The Price to Enter Many U.S. National Parks Is Set to Triple for Foreign Travelers
Interior Department plans to raise cost of annual passes and single-day admissions for international visitors as part of ‘America first’ initiative
Beginning Jan. 1, an annual pass will cost $250 for nonresidents compared with $80 for U.S. residents, the Interior Department said Tuesday. Nonresidents now pay the same rate as U.S. residents to visit parks. There is no change in the cost for U.S. citizens.
The entry-fee changes are described by the Interior Department as “America first.” The policy also specifies that international visitors without an annual pass will need to pay a $100-per-person surcharge at 11 of the most visited national parks, which include Acadia, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Yosemite and Zion.

This was my first thought. Chickens#!ts
I’d think not retire & open up a spot to be possibly filled by a loyalist.
Hell, I’d be OK with & understand if they just kept quiet & just voted againt the BS.
I’d 100% understand not being super outspoken against MAGA for fear of retaliation. I can’t think of anyone offhand who ended up in the crosshairs for quietly opposing them, it’s the openly contentious ones being attacked on the regular.

So foreign tourists at national parks will have less to spend at surrounding American businesses. That doesn't sound being conservative or welcoming to me. But it sounds stupid.

For example, according to the Interior Department’s statement of new fees, at Grand Canyon National Park the cost of driving in a private vehicle is $35. Non-U. S. visitors now would have to pay an extra $100 per person on top of that, making admission for a family of four $435 if they don’t have an annual pass.

These pardons are just unbelievable.
He is doing so many and in the past ANY of these would be a MASSIVE controversy.
But, Donny can just do what he pleases.

Trump spares turkeys — but not his political opponents — at annual pardoning ceremony NPR
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump didn't bring much holiday cheer Tuesday when bestowing ceremonial pardons on two Thanksgiving turkeys, dispensing more insults than goodwill at the traditional White House ritual.
He joked about sending the turkeys to an infamous prison in El Salvador that has been used to house migrants deported from the United States. He said the birds should be named Chuck and Nancy — after Democratic stalwarts Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi — but "I would never pardon those people."
Trump claimed that last year's turkey pardons, issued by President Joe Biden, were invalid because he used an autopen. "Where's Hunter?" he said, suggesting that his predecessor's son could once again face legal jeopardy.
And all of that was before Trump turned his attention to Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat who has resisted the White House's plans to deploy the National Guard in Chicago.
Trump said he had a joke prepared about Pritzker, but "I refuse to talk about the fact that he's a fat slob. I don't mention it."
Scattered laughter rippled through the audience, which sat under cloudy skies and an intermittent drizzle on the Rose Garden patio.

The ex-wife of her brother, who she has not spoken to in years.
She probably pushed for this to happen.
