Barring the not implausible possibility that they are all compromised by dirty/criminal secrets - the total surrender by congressional Republicans of even a pretense of their power is astonishing.

How can anyone be astonished? It was all there in plain sight, and who warned us, spelled it out in detail? WOMEN. None of this should take us by surprise. Decades in the making
Republicans and MAGA are zero-sum thinkers. I keep coming back to this and it explains a lot. Conservatives believe that hurting other people means they gain. For the politicians insulated by wealth, they aren’t going to hurt themselves when they hurt others. No problem for them.
There’s very much a personality difference between liberals and conservatives. One of the things is that conservatives really only see their views. These are rich and powerful people who won’t be hurt by economic downturns.
They are going to be fine. Therefore, everything is fine.
I’m sorry to say that the Dems aren’t looking much better by comparison. Not yet anyway. Why haven’t two dozen articles of impeachment been drawn up by now? No, of course they won’t pass, but they will get attention and mire them in paperwork.

For every immigrant deported, the base gets a raise.
For every Christo-fascist law, the base is freer.
For every upset lib, the base is happy.
We overestimate how petty and vindictive people are.
