I don’t understand why these butthurt republicans don’t just start voting against trump. Like somehow the only options are toe the party line or resign.
People w/o spines don’t just grow them like Chia Pets. If they don’t have the guts to fight, they need to go. Even if they opposed one item — that wouldn’t be it. Democracy won’t survive silence.
They’re afraid. Trump has more or less blacklisted every dissident from the party and its allies. It’s a career ending move and he’s even threatening some people with criminal charges.
I mean obviously they should do it anyway because it’s the right thing to do. But they didn’t get to where they are by pursuing public good over their own personal well-being.
Because apart from Trump, they want to toe the party line.
If a few Republican House members resign then the Democrats take the majority. Democrats can take out Trump and do whatever else they want to help people. Meanwhile the former House members can sit on the sidelines and blame Democrats (specifically for non-Trump things).
But what about the Senate? Basically the hope is that everyone will forget what you’ve done. Look at the recent shutdown bill, the Senate Democrats who gave up everything aren’t up for reelection anytime soon. That thing they did 5 years ago? I don’t really remember what that was about.

They don’t want to get kirk’d

Someone has dirt on them.
The Madison Cawthorne orgies probably.
It’s weird how this was entirely forgotten.
It was used as a cudgel. It’s not needed anymore
