Questions for all those Republicans who are now saying we should get rid of trump

Are you just wanting a new figurehead with a little less baggage? Someone with an ounce or two of personality? Are you hoping for a Ronnie Reagan 2.0?

Are you still hoping that the "repuglican" platform(s) (whatever they are) will become the guiding light for some new administration and your party? Can you even enunciate what your platform(s) state?

Will you help to reform the Supreme Court? Will you work to get term limits and an enforceable code of ethics? Can you state how this would best work?

Are you still in favor of letting the states decide what happens for women's rights? Are you still in favor of letting state legislatures control the allocation of congressional boundaries with no regard to fairness?

If you are in a position of power, will you help or hinder the prosecution of all people that tried to overthrow this government before and after the November 2020 election?

Do you agree that no person, even a President, is above the rule of law? Do you think Donald J. Trump should be prosecuted according to the established rule of law without the interference of his hand-picked SC justices and the RW hold-overs? Would you go on the record to support this, or would you just voice your "concerns"?

Do you think that it is OK for corporations to have more power than citizens? That money trumps individual rights? Have you ever demonstrated your position in public in the past?

This is just a start - I had to get it off my chest so I could sleep a bit tonight. I still don't trust many, many of them.

Because trump makes them look stupid. And they are freaking mad about that.
