Are Republicans bothered by what Trump is doing but

[edhopper]

not opposing it to stay in power.
Or are they fully behind his unconstitutional, fascist attack on America.

Not sure which is worse, cowards or evil fucks?

[Skittles]

1. they like the power but they're afraid of being targeted by Trump

in other words, they put themselves above their country

disgusting fucking cowards

[2naSalit]

2. Which immediately disqualifies them...

From public service, in a just world.

[Skittles]

18. aw hell

they'd have to get rid of the entire Greedy Old Pig party if it meant serving WE THE PEOPLE

[2naSalit]

19. Yep...

That's the way it goes.

[IcyPeas]

3. Boggles my mind to believe they are all okay with it

Loyalty to trumpf is everything...#1

You wonder if they would even dare admit to another colleague they didn't agree with something trumpf is doing for fear of being ratted out.

And where's Dan Bongino? There was talk that he may resign after his spat with Pam bondi about THE EPSTEIN FILES a couple of months ago .

4. I think Elise Stefanik

Is in it for Trump's support, for her run for Governor.
I don't think there is anything he will do that would make her say, " enough is enough".

[Martin Eden]

5. Republicans have long wanted the dismantling of the regulatory/administrative/welfare state

And Trump is accomplishing that while all previous Republican administrations have failed.

But I doubt most are happy with the tariffs and alienating our closest allies in western Europe and Canada, while coddling up to Putin and other dictators.

I also doubt most are truly "loyal" to Trump. Their relationship is transactional, which goes both ways. They recognize him for the ignorant vindictive egomaniac that he is, but dare not cross him because they fear retribution. Once he verbally targets them, their political careers and their lives are threatened by crazed MAGAts.

Bottom line, they'd rather have the Constitutional republic created by our Founding Fathers crumble into authoritarianism than to give up their policy goals and their party's grip on power. They lack the character and courage to save our Constitutional rule of law -- which they all swore an oath to serve and protect.

6. They're following the money

Democracy be damned.

[LymphocyteLover]

7. it's a mix-- some Repubs bothered and go along and others love it

[Joinfortmill]

8. I'm with you, and they are cowardly evil fucks.

[dalton99a]

17. +1

[Lonestarblue]

9. I think most Republicans support Trump and like what he is doing.

The attitudes of the Young Republicans exposed by Politico are not an aberration in my view. Older Republicans are just as racist and hateful. They’re just better at hiding it.

[no_hypocrisy]

10. Republicans are the classic Flying Monkeys to Trump's Malignant Narcissism.

They carry out his orders, partly out of fear of his ire if they don't and partly for the specter of reward if they do.

[Ray Bruns]

11. Why not both?

[Buckeyeblue]

12. The country club Republicans are aghast. But they don't have much say anymore

The Republican party changed when they became overtly pro evangelical Christian and took up the cultural wars.

I don't think cultural war Republicans understand economics. They also don't understand foreign policy. This is why they are voting for bills that will adversely impact their constituents. That's why they look like a deer in the headlights during townhalls when people want to talk about health care and jobs.

Isn't Healthcare woke?

[kerouac2]

13. Maybe they figure Dems will just fix it like always

Once the evil f is no more.

Unfortunately for us, this level of destruction was unimaginable. And it hasn't even been a year yet. And they have crazies running the $hit show.

But historically they make a mess that we have to clean up.

[Hotler]

14. The orange one is a refelection of his voters. Their hate, cruelty and revenge flows up from them and spews out

through him.

[themaguffin]

15. most don't have the integrity to do what's right.

[ananda]

16. The diehard 33% will never vote Democratic.

However, the independents and waffly fence-sitters
might change their vote.
