Most of the people quoted here *are Republicans* afraid of death threats *from their own party leader.*

None of them deserve to be in public office.
If they are too afraid to honor their oath to the constitution then step aside for someone who will.
I can’t believe these people would let the country be destroyed to save their damn jobs.
Absolutely enraging.
To the point where you're saying with a straight face he doesn't have a butthole and doesn't poop.
"I've decided not to run for re-election. Oh, by the way...fuck Trump."
The people of the United States now officially live under the rule of a dictator.
I understand there are templates for resignation letters…
Also, have they heard about Profiles in Courage?
Do they think he's going to get nicer if he keeps getting his way?
How tf are these people even functioning adults?
Seriously, Republicans, Dems always held each other accountable. From Clinton to Obama. Hell, Al Franken when they made him resign. There's a reason Tulsi and RFK Jr., left the party due to being so disliked, they couldn't take criticism.
Scared my ass. Stop making excuses for the betrayal of america.
Right now, the only thing the quislings do is provide some semblance of legitimacy to the fascist garbage
Are there new special elections?
If so this sounds like a plan.
Never say never then....🤞
I guess there are some Senators in States with Democratic Governors. Or Republican Governors who are now appalled with Felon47 and brave enough to take a stand.
Never say never?
Maybe they should have stopped him when they had the chance.
Maybe they can't handle the demands of elected office and should resign.

The GOP should be inundated with calls, emails, & letters from us.
Congress switchboard: (202) 224-3121
Republicans in Congress can resign and make equivalent money doing other things.
1. It's dishonest;
2. Plans built on this assumption will fail.
Am I supposed to be sympathetic?
Welcome to life is a fucking Democrat under the environment that you created.
Along with that those being threatened and too cowardly to fight for their country should resign. Let someone who may have a spine take the role and stand up for their nation, their people, law and order.
This is the party of 2A cus death to tyrants.
A tyrant is threatening to kill you unless you obey him.
Kill him back? Obviously? Like duh?
It’s literally all they have talked about for 30 years.
Here’s the analogy I think fits-
A guy sees his neighbor’s house burning, and knows he probably should get a hose and help put out the fire, but decides he’ll wait to see it the shed he doesn’t like to look at burns down first.

“Dear Donald, If your minions threaten one member or their family, we will caucus with the Democrats”
“If it keeps happening, we will impeach and remove.”
They don’t do it. They like what he does.

20 GOP Congress members opposing Trump could fundraise OFF BOTH PARTIES.
see also: George Orwell, Animal Farm.
If they really opposed what Trump is doing they always have the option of quitting and refusing to be a willing participant in Trump's outrages (like the principled Republicans at the DOJ did).
Furthermore, who the hell can evaluate what it means now when the FBI says there are credible threats on your life.

To be clear, I'm not excusing the MAGA/GOPers for failing to do their duty...simply pointing out that extremist parties threatening and then killing their own is nothing new.
They’ve all had a decade to do the right thing. They saw it; they know it.
And instead, they sat on their hands and enabled it.
1) uphold their oaths at some small risk to themselves
2) resign
3) sign other people's death warrants, only to delay the threat to themselves and make it bigger
Worthless.
I'm joking about one of these and I'm not gonna say which.
Mwaahahahaaa
I would not be surprised if he tries and executes Biden/Dems given his most recent comments.
I'm sorry if some are truly scared, that does not negate the health and safety of the American people they "chose to serve"
Do it or get out
MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD
Gather & Prepare Your Group
Aim for 5–15 participants (the bigger, the better—but showing up is what counts)
Find Your Reps Office

Confirm office hours to ensure staff is present.

And as their duty to protect the country and Constitution, Dems should threaten to publicly name the names of these cowards unless they do.
Do not provide sympathy to fascist enablers. It's how they succeed.
Definitionally it’s
domestic terrorism &
stochastic terrorism
Women, black brown and indigenous people, LGBTQ+ people get murdered for existing.
If republicans are scared, they should resign instead of destroying the country.
GAAAAAAAAAAAH
