When gaming out what important Republicans will do, it helps to remember that a horde of pro-Trump rioters beat up the cops who were trying to protect them and they all had to flee the Capitol for their lives and within the month they decided their best strategy was to roll over for Trump - ThreadSky

He's not afraid of catching it again, he's afraid of the Trump mob

They care about their own political careers and nothing else. Supporting the Rioters in the public forum is the only thing that will keep them safe. So they'll throw democracy out the window just so they can return to DC and more damage to America.

First threaten their lives, now threaten their livelihoods - brilliant and successful seeing as how they're all selfish cowards.

Looks like it's already started, there was a report Nancy Mace was assaulted in the Capitol!

He’s wealthy enough to protect himself as Romney has had to do. Most other Senators are too but the other concern is a primary but Trump does not have a great track record on. I can’t imagine some of these freaks doing well in their hearing assuming they occur.

Mitch McConnell is the sole reason Trump is president again. If he supported Senate conviction in 2020 our country would be protected from MAGA. So go fuck yourself if you are talking about him being “the voice of reason” or “centrality” with these cabinet nominees.

I think people underestimate the fear of violence felt by red state pols from armed maga, who hate “RINOs” more than anyone.

Trump’s terrorism is working imo.

Perhaps the world’s biggest cowards

They could have said “no, this is not us”. Instead, they said “ we will defend the honor of our Lord and Savior, God‘s chosen president, and world‘s most perfect man, Donald Trump, until the end of time”.

Getting real tired of hearing how afraid Republican politicians are. Afraid of mobs, afraid of Trump, afraid of their constituents... I'll never sing "land of the free and home of the brave" in the national anthem again.

Maybe they could ask @aoc.bsky.social (or indeed any Democrat) for some safety tips.

Nice to know the Republicans are now as spineless as the Democrats are & have been. 😉

People seem to forget that McConnell called in personal favors to persuade senators to vote to acquit trump after Jan 6. That’s not being scared, that’s being complicit.
