Necrotic:
Necrosis in the death of tissues of the body. Necrosis can be treated, with the dead tissue being removed, but the affected tissue can not be returned to good health. [verywellhealth]
I was going to post a picture of necrotic tissue, but it was too gross. Noted in “The GOP reckoning never came,” Catherine Rampell, WaPo:
Then, last month, something happened that seemed grounds for hope: Trump lost. Surely this, I thought, must force his party to finally excise its necrotic political tissue, once leaders recognized it had cost them not just their principles and 300,000 American lives but also the White House.
I think the healthy tissue has been excised by the necrotic, in a bizarre reversal.
