Because the GOP are nazis, have always been nazis, and lie about it because they are either lying nazis or stupid nazis who somehow were tricked into being nazis.

A lot of them do and they're pretty on board with it tbh

They're scared and/or they agree with what he's doing.

They see it. It makes the losers feel powerful.

someone tell Trump the MET gala takes place in Paris - he'll never get it - just see what happens - do it

MAGA WARS: 7,000 ARMED MAGA Soldiers marching in D.C! Chump plans MANY more marches on U.S. soil! WE DEMAND MORE FIGHT AGAINST MAGA CIVIL WAR!! EVERYTHING ELSE!!! IS A DISTRACTION! linktr.ee/revolution2025 NOW WE: ORGANIZE STRATEGIZE FIGHT! ORGANIZE STRATEGIZE FIGHT! ORGANIZE STRATEGIZE FIGHT!

They do, but he’s THEIR mad king who’s hurting everyone they don’t like, so they’re fine with it.

They do. They don’t want to be forced out and have to get real jobs. Where else will they find such cushy jobs?

Because admitting it would mean also admitting that they aren't as smart as they think they are.

They don’t care. They are in it for the money and power.

They see it, and they love it. Suicide cult shit

They see it

Um, if you're interested in how the GOP sees the Trump era I recommend Tim Miller's memoir Why We Did It He spends a lot of time teasing apart the reasons why other people in the GOP decided to stay with the party and why he decided to leave, its a pretty short and easy to read book

Remember kids, download content responsibly. 🏴‍☠️

They KNOW and they DON’T CARE!!!

I think it makes them feel special- like they're part of a Mafia family or something. "Protected" and all that. But it's like the Mafia hustling business owners for protection- they will keep having to pay.

People insulated from any negative consequences don't have to care.

I think most GOP members know that it’s mad king shit. But they are so delulu that they think it won’t go off the rails and it’ll end with a soft landing of “white supremacy and increased wealth for elites” without any negative consequences. Sadly 75% of current Dems fall into that category too

Easy...they are the party of 🙈🙉🙊 when it comes to him.🤷🏽‍♀️

The ones that do see it. They are afraid. Remember the ones that did say something one by one. They've taken them down. So they keep their head down mouth shut. I guess for them its job security.

WORD

250 years only to fall not even into a benevolent monarchy, but a despotic tinpot, is about the clearest case against royalty we could ever need And yet...

They think it's strategic politics and good business. When You don't know how anything works....

Nothing has made Trump voters make more sense to me than this series of blog posts about estranged parents forums: www.issendai.com/psychology/e...

They see it and personally benefit from it

The few who aren’t imbeciles or high on their own supply see it as a price worth paying for lower taxes, more judicial appointments, and other assorted GOP policies.

They were blinded by money placed into their pockets with the promise of more if they behaved well. And, if they misbehaved, the threat of being ostracized from the money teat and from office loomed. Add this to their racism and bigotry, egos and general stupidity and you got the GOP.

Right?! Hitler was labeled as insane. And Shitler is mimicking his every move.

I think they see it but use it to their advantage. He's doing the things they have wanted to do while taking the heat off them.

They've been conditioning everyone for years to accept all of this, I don't have faith they will be able to pull out of the dive in time.

The emperor has no clothes. GOP elected Officials put their jobs ahead of the survival of democracy. History will not be kind to them

They do they just don't care because this is what they have always wanted.

Oh they do... they're simply too stupid to realize it will end them politically.

A mad king is what they want

Because they like him and want him to win.

They see it.

Oh, they see it. Congress is afraid of him. Some voters are embarrassed & won't admit it. The rest are deluding themselves that he won't effect them.

Because they are just as mad as he is. What do you expect from people who follow a morally bankrupt leader. Just ask all the Germans that followed Hitler. Both men are cut from the same cloth.

Yeah, strange isn't it.

they’re white supremacists they want a mad king

They do. They just ignore it

I think too many are owned by Russia now to turn back.

I hate that I always have to ask which specific thing, because it's been like 9 hours since the last scandalous news point I saw

Even the mad king had his supporters. It’s all about what they think they’ll get out of all this.

It’s called stupidity, complicity, and bullschitt - they saw it 😂😆🤣 and loved it

Half the GOP is as mad as he is, and the other half is scared to death. In either case they all benefit financially so who cares?

It's very difficult to make people see things that don't reflect their own good opinion of themselves

They're along for the ride. They think this way leads to riches and power for them. They don't understand how mad kings work.

I think they don't care. he's assembled a toxic coalition of narrow minded voters. some are super pro christian nationalism. some are anti vaxxers/conspiracy theorists. some support Israel ahead of our national interests. some believe the 2A is diff than amendments which have reasonable restrictions

They do. Tax cuts and holding on to power are more important.

Books are next. Fascism and tyranny are here, in the craziest forms imaginable, and if you haven’t yet protested in the street, you might consider why not. What are you waiting for?

They don’t care. The electorate specifically chose him.

Literally worse than George III

Oh they do see, but they are all just amazing cowards.

they do, and they don’t give a fuck.

-rightoids always fall back on a desire to be ruled out of fear of their own freedom -trump is implementing all of the GOP's desired policy in a way where they don't care about going through congress anymore -they identify with trump -they like trump -do not buy for a second they're scared of him

they do but they only care about tax cuts for the wealthy & deregulation.

#Cult45

Republicans are the ideological descendants of Tories, who were always monarchists.

Who said they don't???

Because rump is just a symptom. Conservativism (and capitalism they serve) is the disease

This is a money grab for them too. They don’t GAF.

if they kill the king, their party is dead. he’s all they’ve got left.

It’s not like the “great leader” worship of other regimes came about because of the leader’s merit

There’s also the budget; I think a lot of them are holding it together to pass that. Which means if it starts to fall apart (or even fails to pass, extreme case) they will be under still more pressure

they built this snowman

Why would they when they get to live lavishly in the Mad King's castle?

Whatever drives them, it’s not logic. And the people in power are only motivated by greed.

Same mindset.

i think maybe they do. i think the court has always either tolerated or enabled the mad king.

They see it. They’re even more cowardly than the Dems.

The poop

They are fully aware of what’s going on, they’re just benefiting from it so they don’t care.

Oh I think they see it. Just waiting to get some share of the scraps this country will be left in. They've got no conscience, no vision, and no moral compass.

They're afraid of the mob His Majesty can summon. Democracy!

narcissists look up to bigger narcissists. that's about the shape of it

Because they are scared of the cult or in it.

It blows my mind… they have so many excuses for him too, and so many lies. They swear he isn’t doing the things he’s doing, insist we’re blowing it all out of proportion and making things up… his supporters are every bit as mad as he is.

That's called gaslighting.

They do. Some don't care. The rest are cowards.

They’re a party of fawning court eunuchs that crave power and the chance to stand in witness of it. They don’t give a shit if the king is mad so long as it’s “their” king

They surely do, but their side is benefiting.

they dont care they love him and feel like their bet on him is paying off-they see how weak the leadership of the opposition and figure that gives them huge room for error anyway

They see it 😡 They are just either evil assholes or putrid cowards or both.

They will not be voted back in office

I suspect they will ☹️

Whenever I see that he’s posted some insane shit, I gesture broadly and exclaim, “how about *now* ?” I’ve since come around to the theory that his enablers in Congress won’t start pushing back until he hits rectal cancer approval numbers. So maybe late June?

🤣

They are all alike

Frankly I think they agree with more of it than they disagree with other parts. Oh and the racism, sexism, and bigotry count for a lot too.

Bingo

Because they've already been indoctrinated into the Christian cult since infancy to believe that you have to unquestioningly obey your authoritarian ruler no matter what. Plus the church is a huge white supremacist tax scam, so they've seen the benefits that come with these beliefs for a long time.

They’re mostly equally stupid

We must consider the past when viewing the present. Many British subjects were vehemently opposed to breaking away from the Crown in the 1770s. The way to revolution divided families irreparably. After 10 years of fighting for independence, there were STILL people who were opposed to it.

Watch Wolf Hall to see what comes next in the megalomania stakes.

I hope they all get replaced with human beings.

They see it, they just don't care.

They don’t care. A Black guy was president so now they have to prove that it’s a stupid thing that wasn’t worth having anyway.

Good point Well made

They do. They’re fine with everything he’s doing, as long as it’s happening to people they don’t like. They might be losing some money now, but they’re all losing the same money- they’re hoping to benefit from the promised forthcoming increased slave labor. But the billionaires have bunkers…

They live in an alternate reality. Things look different over there.

Marjorie Taylor Green's net worth was $700K when she entered Congress and now her net worth is $22 million. She only cares about herself. This story is repeated for every MAGA Congress member.

I think they do, but they prefer a mad king from their team to a functional president from the other team.

I'm convinced they did, but they thought they'd be able to manipulate him to work in their favour to get their pet projects over the line. Looks like they underestimated just how batshit crazy he really is.

Every time he runs rampant over American democracy, they look at their (offshore) bank accounts and smile

they do, and they like it stop thinking republicans want freedom from tyranny, they just want to make sure *they're* the tyrants

GOP are the KKK, and they have been determined to 'burn it all down' since 1861. This is all much less complicated than they are making it.

they don't? it looks like they are well aware and on board with it

They see it, but he's THEIR mad king, he's THEIR hungry leopard. They haven't realized they're on the menu yet.

As I see it, there are 3 forces at play right now Idealogues love the mad king shit because hegemonic destabilization and generalized cruelty is in line with their emotionally stunted 4-chan derived worldview, but they're a loud but mostly powerless minority

The moneyed interest benefits financially from continuing hegemony, and is where most of the world's power lies. It about to flip the fuck out because dum-dum is threatening the profit margin. If he loses them, then it's game over. No one will support his ever greater crackdowns on public dissent

All of this playing out against a backdrop of an until recently nascent protest movement in a population that has seen once-in-a-century financial disasters wipe out any accumulated wealth every 7 years and will very shortly be unable to buy food These are the foundations of revolution

It gives them power, so they accept it.

They like his policies and wish they had the votes to do it in Congress, the right way, but are happy to have a dictator do it for them instead
