Mitch proves to have exactly the same amount of backbone ...

that he has of chin.

None.

After warning Trump that declaring a "national emergency" in pursuit of his penis substitute .. errr ... border wall would be a mistake; McConnell asked Trump's permission to bring a bill to the floor. Receiving a go-ahead, he then rolled over on his back, asked for a tummy rub, and said that he would support Trump's imminent emergency declaration.

How can anyone continue to take the Republican party seriously at this point in time?

willingness to put party of country.
Ronald Fucking Reagan, the Gipper, the patron saint of Republicans, allowed American citizens to languish in an Iranian prison longer than necessary in order to assist in his re-election prospects. And, of course, once in office, he sent arms to Iran as payment.
Lap dog would be a more honorable explanation. I think they simply don't give a shit about what's best for this country.

Also, not teaching civics combined with the takeover of the republican party by religious fundamentalists. That's what I believe happened, in a nutshell. If they would prefer an autocratic theocracy headed by a king, then they have no idea what America is all about and never did.
