Just to let you know how naïve I am, I had hoped that having a dynamic leader such as Trump would show the spineless Pubbies how to fight and win. I thought if anyone could infuse a spine into these blobs of jello it would be Trump.
Then for the past year I see them “fighting” Trump harder than I have ever seen them fight a democrat and I realize that Republicans are the Washington Generals to the Harlem Globetrotter Democrats. Just there for show and never expecting to win.
so IT IS emotional conditioning!
if it weren’t so tragic, it would be funny. :(
Well I sure won’t call you naive, because I don’t think anyone anticipated anything like this level of resistance and insubordination. Remember when Bush the Younger took office the Clinton kids swiped the “W” keys off the keyboards and Bill and Hillary looted the furniture but it was pretty much an orderly transition of power. The difference is, W did not threaten any of the Deep State power base, in fact they were probably happier with him than they would have been with Algore because Bush’s roots are deeper (no pun intended).
Trump is everything you say, but they see his independent, dynamic leadership as a threat, not as an asset or role mode. It’s less that they are not loyal, it’s that they are loyal to the wrong things.
This article, more than any other single thing, helped me to see the Republican Party as it really is, the “R Branch of the Ruling Class Uniparty”:
