Turn our Backs!
In a sane world, throwing the support to the opposing party in an effort to discipline the misdeeds of the party with which you had previously identified, would be a perfectly logical strategy.
But when there is only essentially one party involved, and they tell you “My way or the highway”, the alternatives are very much diminished. What it comes down to, is “My way, my way, or my way”, as there is no viable highway to pursue a different objective.
We did that back in 1994. . . when John Warner back-stabbed Oliver North. Over half the room turned backs.
NOBODY covered it. . .
