Republicans have always believed in the resilience of democracy.

For many of them, democracy was indestructible. They would win an election and do everything in their power to destroy it. But, they always failed.

However, now there are some MAGA saying, "OMG! What have we done!?" Speaker Mike Johnson is not one of them. But MTG might be?

In my opinion, there are some MAGA that are feeling deep regret and remorse for what they have supported. Their arrogant joy has turned to fear.

We see some of them resigning rather than be a part of the continuing unraveling. We see a couple here and there express their opposition or disapproval of the regime's ideas or policies.

Unfortunately, they are a day late and a dollar short. They cannot reverse what they have engineered.

1. Many of them are done with democracy.

The rich don't believe in the people getting their fair share of resources.
And the others seem to hate everyone and don't believe in justice or equal rights.

2. Yep. They don't believe in that BS...

...like justice, equal rights, or humanity.

3. Children depend on their parents to take responsibility

To enforce (or not enforce) the rules they operate under.
The children know the parents will just pay, or buy, or do whatever; they (the children) can pretty much do whatever they want so long as the parents let them.
And that's the modern Republican in a nutshell. Someone else takes responsibility and pays the price. They can play in their own reality until something crashes.
