That the majority of the Republican Party supports a traitor, an insurrectionist, a criminal with 91 charges against him? I could never be a member of such a Party.
Of course, I could never see the Democratic Party supporting someone of such low character. Especially after they tried to overthrow the government.
But to listen to many of these Republicans, it would be "anti-democratic" to try and keep them from voting for someone that the Constitution strictly forbids from running for President or any office in this country. How devoid of character and judgement can these people be?
Then we are warned that there would be chaos and violence if we oppose such a person from running for President again. How could we not oppose them and still call ourselves Americans?

There will be a Civil war if the Magas get what THEY want.
Even normal old school Romney Republicans (who know better) will vote for Trump anyway because they are not known for being deep thinkers and believe that the Constitution is all Wrong anyway.
(Self loathing Republicans are now calling themselves Independents)
Trump the Victim will be calling for the break down of our country period. End of story.
I think in the future the Republicans will say maybe we shouldnt have supported T but dont hold your breath.
Our biggest hope is to pry open the eyes of Independents and Romney Republicans.
And Of course, GOTV.

This is why the 14th ammendment. They gave us a solution and we are afraid to use it.

The vast majority goes along because the rest don't have any ideological differences either but feel keeping up appearances to give a damn about anything other their own avarice and bigotry is a key element to keeping the golden goose laying eggs but if they can get by without playing the game then even better.
That and these are pack creatures and royalists built to get in line to bend the knee to the percieved alpha which is baked into the worldview.
Only by bowing to their master can they expect their place in the pecking order to worshipped in turn.
It is the conservatism, it demands that some must be the outcast, that some be under the heel, and that eventually some strong man make it so by snatching any power held by the outcast and the undeserving while filling their pockets with loot.
