(1,722 posts)I find that pretty naive.
Many of his people are "acting," never approved by the Senate, although the Senate Republicans are just a bunch of Trump boot lickers. And Moscow Mitch is in Putin's pocket.
Trump has shared intelligence info with Russians and others with no consequences.
AG Barr is extremely dangerous due to his position and power. And he appears to be crooked as hell, that is, not interested in preserving democracy and seriously lacking in integrity.
Gerrymandering is still serious in spite of a couple of wins.
I say Republicans can smell one party rule (which is their foolish interpretation of what Trump is aiming for), and that is why they are so brazen at trying to finish it off. I think it is possible that many GOP critters are totally unaware of Trump's apparent objective of joining the international club of dictators.
GOP critters may also think that they can let Trump lead them to one party rule, then they can pull the country back from all out dictatorship. They may think they can use him, them push him aside. Sounds foolish, and extremely risky, not to mention insanely unAmerican.
Or maybe it is simple. Maybe they are just greedy, self-serving, power seeking jerks. In any case, we need to take our current predicament very seriously.
