What are Republicans thinking ???

Or are they thinking at all?

As Europe gathers forces to try and stop the threats of Donald Trump, what do the Republicans think about it? Do they think the Europeans just don't have a sense of humor? They just don't understand Donald Trump. They can't take a joke?

As Canada makes a statement that they will join NATO forces if Trump invades Greenland, what do the Republicans think? Do they think it is a good idea to invade Greenland? Or do they think it is just Trump bluster? Do they not see any danger in such bellicose language?

Or do they have such enormous trust in their leader, that they believe he will figure it out? Just as they believe he will figure out a way to steal the next election and keep them in power? They have supreme faith in their Leader?

What are Republicans thinking as he breaks every law on the book? As his corruption knows no bounds and he doesn't even try to hide it, what do Republicans think? Is it OK for them so long as it pisses off the liberals and keeps them in power?

What do Republicans think of democracy? What will Republicans think when their children are called to fight Trump's war? Will they awaken from their stupor and realize that they are getting screwed too?

The whole thing with Greenland? It's about the supposed rare earth minerals that are tucked under miles of ice and earth that their super wealthy tech bro donors want. All the other stuff? BS.

and I do mean ANYTHING for money. Republicans in Montana are going to try to sell off our state and national public lands to themselves and their greedy friends. They are all for putting big data centers here in Montana even though it will raise heating bills for ordinary Montanans. They pretend to care about law and order but they are the worlds biggest crooks. Fortunately, people are finally seeing them for what they really are. They get richer and the American people suffer. I don't think they will be in office much longer unless they plan to use the military.

Like most of DC, they're constantly focused on reelections yet completely out of touch with the national mood

how soon before the word "Draft" gets thrown about? I don't think most Americans are willing to go back to those days.
