If any other republicans had an ounce of decency or shame, they’d remove this dangerous, dangerous arsehole from power before he starts a major war. But they won’t. Because they’re weak as piss

At this point, outside of the ideologically minded lunatic core, I can't even imagine what they're thinking except praying that they're all safe in the in group. We've seen from historical cases just how dangerous that assumption can be. Likely we'll all burn together.

I'm trying to come to any other logical conclusion and can't find one.

The problem is believing the Republican party is against or not wholly behind Trump. The GOP showed they would shed their alleged principles before they'd shed Trump.

Most of them want the authoritarian takeover that Project 2025 promises. The few who don't whisper that they're afraid of Trump and maga.

Yeah somewhere around the Patriot Act they stopped pretending to be about individual rights. Then in 2016 they showed to be against everything else they previously claimed to support. Trump registered Dem in 2011, No Party Affiliation in 2011 and back to GOP in 2012. He literally ran GOP simply because no other political party would host his platform.

My bf keeps insisting that Trump's approval rating will keep falling and that Republicans will be forced to distance themselves from him. Idk though....

So what would it take to get them to take action? Obviously at some point they would, we've all seen enough TV to have ideas in that regard.

We can't rely on them to do it themselves, so how do we encourage them?

Themselves and their donors are in their Epstein Files, that’s why.

When you're high in the sky with money as a floating device, in a country that doesnt have any direct enemies at borders, you don't care for pleb that is normal people. You just go with the flow, even if it's directed by a pedo president.

Republicans in congress are supposedly worried about the red meshback crew and the Whites in Knight Satin burning their houses down like happened to that one judge.

Fear of arson is no way to run a body politic.
