Most of them agree with Trump.
They are done with democracy.
It gets in their way.
They want total power and access to all US wealth.

The Republicans in Congress are in it only for their own enrichment. They're not going to let some flimsy little thing like the Constitution stand in their way.

They've allowed Orange Man to appropriate their power as a separate branch of government. Literally surrendering all their independence and authority. They are more than useless right now, and they know it.

No more worrying about voters or doing the right thing.

Grift for money and power is their mantra.

Nailed it when they said we would be destroyed from within. Total failure to study history or pay fucking attention.

They kept on challenging the ones that actually believed in democracy, and managed to find too many spineless, weak, and faulty idiots to run - backed by plenty of VC and other money.
