I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Republican politicians are cowards. When the going gets tough, they back down and don’t fight back. They don’t know how to fight the culture war and wouldn’t want to even if they did. That’s come up again now; in the republic’s darkest hour in decades, when the brazenness of the cheating and voter fraud is shocking and abhorrent, most Republicans have deserted Trump. We GOP voters are once again asking, “where are the Republican politicians?”
Now, to be fair, there are a few that have done a good job and are defending and trying to help Trump. Madison Cawthorne, a congressman-elect from North Carolina, was at the MAGA March in D.C., as was Rep. Gomert, a Republican from Texas. But no others were there. Every voter out there on the streets, supporting Trump and peacefully protesting voter fraud, was wondering the same questions- “Where are the Republican politicians? Why aren’t they here?”
That shouldn’t have been a surprise, even if it is incredibly disappointing. Unlike the Democrats, Republicans don’t know how to fight back or stand up for a cause even when it’s inconvenient.
Hence why W. Bush called himself a “compassionate conservative” and did little to combat illegal immigration, McCain refused to pull out all the stops to fight Obama, and Romney backed down quietly when challenged. It’s why Lindsey Graham is a “fighter” when convenient, such as during the Kavanaugh trial, but silent during times like now when doing so is inconvenient.

‘Again’? You mean ... STILL!
“Again”??? Are you nucking futs? That is their standard procedure! As long as they get their benefits, they couldn’t possibly care less about US.
Trump is with the Republican Party until the Dems are destroyed. Then we start the MAGA party and put an end to the spineless GOP.
The GOP are the Washington Generals to the Democrats Harlem Globetrotters, they are the owned opposition.
The game is rigged.
Ditto.
Trump is truth. Truth is poison to GOPe/RINO/Uniparty/Deep State/Globalist Endeavors (GRUDGE).
I think sidney is making them nervous. Her effort is not limited to Democrats.
They can’t wait for Biden to get there. I’ll bet we see the GOP section at the SOTU applaud Biden on a majority of his policy bullet points.
Most Republicans were never with us, but the good news is now it’s our turn.
Of course. Those scumbags only wish to keep their jobs, and keep the revenue stream from selling influence. Backing President Trump in an effort to help the country is not part of their agenda. They DON’T CARE. Too much risk of being targeted by the media if they support America.
At this point, I’m not sure if I hate Republicans or Democrats more.
Not to generalize, as there are a small percentage who are fighting for Trump, but as a whole, it’s difficult to find words to describe just how vile they are.

Perfect analogy. Thank You!
They’re not cowards.
They’re IN cahoots with the democrats.
Look, when the democrats do what they do - in order to wrestle power away from US -for themselves, the Republican politicians gain it right along with them.
Those people we send to DC - to REPRESENT us have NO intention of representing us. They are there to get set up for life.
Think about it.. Say YOU run for the house or senate and get elected... what’s your salary gonna be - $175K?? Compared to what I make now, just... WOW. Not to mention all the luxuries that come with the job - paid for by the little people who hired you..
Then you and your family get Cadillac healthcare for the rest of your lives.. AND a fat pension for the rest of your lives..
And they ALL spend their years in DC making deals with special interests and big corporations- WHILE LEARNING WHERE AND WHEN TO “INVEST” and making killings every year.
They ALL come out way richer than they went in.
And we pay for it. Suckers. That’s all we are to them...
Our representatives have become our masters, as the idea of the citizen servant has been replaced by “lifelong public figure” (er, Deep State Swamp Dweller). Had we, the people, been visionary enough to see that continuing to elect “our guy” into office would inevitably lead to “our guy” getting corrupted ( it would take a special person not to fall prey to the tentacles that wrap around one’s testacles) we would have turned over the House and Senate every couple of years just to keep it arable. Sadly, now nothing grows there but the stench of decaying crops rotting in the field.
“Where there is no vision, the people perish.”
... I’m not sure if I hate Republicans or Democrats more
I despise hypocrites, so RINOs are worse to me.
Mainstream Republican politicians have never, ever really supported the President. They have worked against him almost as often as they have worked with him. Right now most of them are keeping their heads down and planning for a post-Trump return to normal. What they don't realize is that Trump is the new normal, and their lack of support for him won't be forgotten any time soon.
They’re where they usually are when it’s time for a hard fight; they’re hiding under their desks and sticking their finger up to see which way the political winds are blowing. Most of them, not all by any means, simply have no interest in anything other than promoting their own careers no matter what that means for the survival of our republic. I hope this episode teaches all rank and file Rs that it is way past time to start primarying these career scumbag pols.
