It’s the buy-in, the almost inevitable yet still surprising falling in line of everyone from Susan Collins to Mike Johnson, to the more predictable gun-toting die-hard saying it’s time to take a side and be ready to start shooting.
Is it because Republicans see their brand being threatened? It can’t be because they have affection and respect for convict Trump. What’s left to them that won’t come across as desperation, and mindless allegiance to a wannabe despot?
There’s a reason people aren’t making the effort to listen to those who stand by Trump. We’ve seen his “work,” we’ve lived through the seeming epoch of scatterbrained rhetoric and incompetence and utter lostness. There’s nothing worth listening for, except to consider as a warning: these people have a very different vision for America. They feel something slipping away and have designs on holding onto it by pretty much any means necessary. It’s all about the p-word, and it ain’t progress.
