Republicans who don't walk lock step with MAGA (even effective ones like McConnell) get lambasted and called RINOs.

Be a Republican, be a conservative - whatever. But at least open your eyes and see what your party is doing to itself.

Let's ask Bernie how becoming a Dem helped him become POTUS... er maybe we shouldn't...

From my perspective, Both sides are in more of a Extremism vs Extremism media fueled battle. The result is hyper partisanship that has caused the current dysfunctional Congress. So bad that neither will say yes to anything the other offers up. 

Anyways, i messed up my political pro-noun. I'm Moderate, not progressive. My type tends to be progressive on Social issues and Conservative on fiscal issues.

Give it some time and things will swing back to more middle ground, politics cycles like this from time to time.
You saw the backlash the Extremists got on the Veteran's bill from inside the party. As I said, only a matter of time before it crashes down on the extremists that have been pushing it lately.
