The republicans need to wake up to the fact that Trump is about as bad for them as anyone...

Sure he talks the republican talk and writes a lot of executive orders. He is MEAN and AGGRESSIVE, in a comically childish way, and many of them think that means he's on their side. After all anyone who is that much of an asshole has to be republican right But the only party he is loyal to is the party of Trump. And he clearly understands so little of anything, and neither do any of his staff, that there's little hope of his actions getting anything concrete accomplished beyond destruction. And much of that destruction is their own party too.

I realise that many republicans are probably fine with a lot of destruction while they line their pockets with what's left of American wealth. But I have to believe that there's still a not small number that would still pause at the idea of actually completely destroying America. I know many of you are going to say no that's just what they want, but I think when the reality of said destruction starts to sink in and become clear many more we'll start to have 2nd thoughts.

I think many republicans see Trump as a useful tool that they can use. But he's so unbelievably destructive and unpredictable that he's about as useful a tool as using a jackhammer to fix a pocket watch. The sooner they wake up to the fact that they can't control this tyrant the better.

They better anyway.

They see only the opportunity in front of them, not the one down the road. Their brains are wired differently than ours. Literally.
