Knowing everything we now know ...

… about Trump, any Republican who still refuses to publicly denounce him is a co-conspirator in Trump’s assault on our nation’s democracy.

It’s as simple as that.

No math required, no complicated test that calls for identifying an elephant - nothing that complex.

If you are an elected Republican currently in office and y6u won't speak out against the lies, the idiocy, the absolute madness of your "pResident", you are as complicit as he is in the deaths of over 150,000 American citizens.

And it really is as simple as that.

1. Absolutely right!

They watch him now using the Post Office as a political weapon , and like he wants to do with the police,, and republicans say nothing. They will pay a price for their enabling trump to do this to us , and our country.

2. The tactic...

In negotiations, the strategy is to hold individuals accountable now for everything Trump says. It’s as if what Trump says comes out of their mouths themselves.

That’s how I react with my Congressman—I blame him for every Trump statement and hold him personally accountable.

There should not be a ray of light between what Trump says/does and what his followers say/do—they are one and the same.

On edit: I’m gonna tweet my GOP Congressman now and ask him why he hasn’t denounced Russia publicly over paying the Taliban to kill Americans In Afghanistan.

3. might i also include the deaths in afghanistan ...

i firmly believe that the resident and his family at 1600 penn should be arrested for treason.

4. This is especially true of Congressional Republicans. They took an oath to uphold the Constitution.

Enabling Trump is in direct conflict to that oath.

5. The republican coup is well underway. Republicans won't denounce their own plan.

6. Fear?

Are they too afraid of his vengeance to jump ship?

9. Republican silence is deafening...

Republicans know that Trump is a train wreck, but are currently held in check out of fear of reprisals. They simply don't know which way to run, and so are hunkering down, remaining silent, and sheltering in place, hoping that somehow their political careers will survive this! Their cries of "I was never with him!" will be amusing to hear in the post-Trump years...

10. I really don't understand the Republicans fear of trump.

What's he going to do, put out a mean tweet? What's the weird power he holds over so many of them?
I think Mitch and several others got Russian money. I think trump blackmails them just like Putin
blackmails trump and just like Epstein blackmailed so many.
Government by blackmail. It's sick.

11. Haul them to Nuremburg.

They wanted to be Nazis. Treat them like Nazis.

[Squinch]

12. But Nance, that was equally true in 2016. There is little we know about him now that we

didn't know in 2016. It's just that now we have been living through the ramifications of his vileness.

But we knew all about his vileness four years ago. Thing is that many Americans relate to that vileness.

13. No doubt about it.

[NNadir]

14. To my knowledge, there isn't a single Republican anywhere with a shred of integrity, period.

[Skittles]

16. "good republicans"

yeah, you know, the ones who don't mind the usual xenophobia, misogyny, homophobia, denial of climate change, etc

[Skittles]

15. I am also sickened that it took TRUMP to wake up others

oh now that tens of thousands of Americans are DYING they finally see the light? And it's not as if the GOP wasn't sickening prior to Trump.
