The party you’ve got now is like the Vietnamese city of Ben Tre: it’s crawling with Trumpist guerrillas. You should not, in good conscience, share a political tent with them.

It’s not enough to compartmentalize Trump, to ignore him and (if you’re an running for office) hope voters don’t notice what you’re up to, or (if you’re a Republican rank-and-file voter) forget just who and what it is you’re propping up by voting Republican. All politics is national now. Yes, even in Virginia.
