kids we had back in grammar and high school who hung out with the bullies.
These kids weren't bullies themselves -- they were more like what is usually referred to as "losers." Not particularly smart or good at anything, no personality to speak of, and certainly not popular. I didn't think about it back then, but I did begin to notice a pattern after a few years. Now looking back at it, it seems they hung out with the bullies for protection and to appear to be cool. I've read about the same pattern occurring in jails and prisons, although I have no clue if that's real or not.
But these guys -- lawmakers in the highest offices in the land -- doing the same? That is fucking galaxy-class disgusting.

Even just standing up to them often works.
