Republicans are literally establishment.
Rush Limbaugh only supported Republicans as an alternative to democrats. We have a two party state because we have winner take all elections. This is called Duverger's Law that you always default, even in parliamentary systems, into two major coalitions or parties. If you don't support liberals, you have no choice but to support the opposition party.
Moreover, to reform the party you do support, you have to use primaries to shift the party one way or the other, which is why he called them cowards all the time for not standing up for conservative principles and supported the Tea Party.
And yet he supported the Republicans and they supported him.
Doesn't get more mainstream than that.
He supported some republicans, and some he didn't. If you'd have ever listened to him, you'd have known that. In 40+ years, that's a lot of politicians coming and going, some good, and some bad. Frankly, he criticized republicans more than he praised them, mostly for being cowardly. They would always try to get on his good side, but he kept himself deliberately segregated away from their machinations. Again, if you were a listener, you'd know that.
Two party system, dude occasionally supported Republicans, mostly because democrats were so bad. I bet you've voted for Republicans, are you mainstream?
And why does "mainstream" or not even matter? Does edgelord status have some cache when he red-pilled millions?
