Why doesn't ONE Republican Say No to this Lunacy?

[Chasstev365]

I'm on the verge of tears here. It just seems all hope is lost.

1. Deep down they want an authoritarian to tell them what to do, and hate who they hate

[mulsh]

2. it is exactly what they have wanted for years. why would any of them object?

n/t

[stopbush]

5. Yep. They all suck. There's no such thing as a R moderate.

With them it's all a matter of how deeply they're into make believe (religion) and alternative reality (conservative policies).

[Skittles]

3. because they are afraid of losing the votes of the deplorables

in other words, they care more about their job than their country

[TrekLuver]

11. Yes...this.

[old guy]

4. Repubs have been dreaming of this for decades.

They are giddy at the prospects before them. They will never say no.

See how fast their religious 'family values' were thrown away? Their main religion and ideology is money

7. Because they're not really into the America thing.

They're a criminal class, interested in primal/tribal dominance, sex, and incredible greed.

However -- I would say to you that this past election was their last chance. They chose to turn to a hostile foreign power for help in defeating the evil democracy thing that threatened to leave them floating down the poop creek without a paddle. And now they're going to try to stay up on that shit horse, because if they don't, the oncoming generations are going to make them the villain, which they are.

So -- it's either full-on fascism or a decent future powered by this newfound knowledge of many, many, many similar souls such as you and I that these people are not Americans at all, not in any sense of the word. As soon as you let the enemy in the gates and cut a deal with them for some dream of Stupid Empire, you're screwed. They'll have to kill us all, and I don't think they can do it.

I predict the backlash from this treason (should we survive) will set this country and the human species on a seriously ethical and quite liberal path for generations. Perhaps someday a new generation will forget, or get bored, or just fall asleep -- but I prefer to focus on this particular cycle.

We're going to turn this back and set things right, and Republicans are going to be the supervillains of American history for two hundred years to come. I swear it.

8. All hope is not lost. Have a good cry and then remember: they will lose, they will not

be in power forever.

Get it all out and then go to swingleft and see what you can do to help get the Congress back.

We all need each other. Despair is the enemy.

[SammyWinstonJack]

15. Seems they're hell bent on inflicting as much damage, pain and suffering

In the next two years as they can. I am not hopeful, at all.

[Squinch]

16. Yes, that's exactly what they want to do. All the more reason why we need to stand as tall

as we can against them.

[NurseJackie]

9. Party over country. Love of power over love of citizens. Hatred of Hillary...

... and the vain and self-serving belief that a scorched earth is the only honorable thing to do before the Dems are in power again.

[TrekLuver]

10. I am sure that they HATE this man. But I don't think any of them are going to risk their political

"future"....just yet. All hope is not lost. Until a nuclear bomb is outside your door then all hope is not lost. I'm imagining all sorts of things going on behind the scenes.

It's only been 12 days...I know it feels like forever because it's just been one long campaign that hasn't ended. But I really believe that Trashpot will not succeed and he will be taken down someway and somehow. We must be patient and we must keep calling and speaking out.

I feel much more support for "our" side since the election. Before there was a deplorable under every rock and now I feel like the tide is turning...and it's going to grow into a tsunami.

12. Because Money, Power and Greed are what they really want. They wrap themselves in the Flag

So that they can claim it is for the good of all, but it is for the good of themselves and the masters that they serve. Corporations and big money. None of them really represent the people. Not for a very long time.

[Blanks]

13. They're afraid...

They will march lock step as long as they fear they'll be destroyed if they step out of line.

That'll be their undoing. The longer they stay in lock step, the greater the risk something that they're doing while in lock step will destroy them.

...and some of the things that we are getting all excited about are blown out of proportion.

Keep in mind Roberts kept Obamacare alive. There was every bit as much drama about his appointment.

We have to be better about choosing our battles. Staying calm during the battle and not losing sight of the end goal.

14. They are profiting from Trump.

Stuffing their pockets and amassing power.
Why would they be interested in taking down
their faux-golden goose?
