They have affiliated themselves to him. Watch, within a month of Democrats being back in power they’ll be harping small government, denigrating the national debt they ballooned themselves. There’s no reason to help them attempt to disavow it.

But it's not just him, it's the entire party aggressively supporting him and everything he does.

it's actually the entire party that's propping him up. If it was just trump he would be living on the street.

Trump has an 87% approval rating amongst Republicans as of the last poll I can find.

While Trump is a megalomanic and does whatever he wants, he has the mandate of the Republican party, whose elected officials could choose at any moment to end this by withdrawing support.

Don't let them off the hook.

It seems people can flip that coin whenever it suits them.

And yet the rest of the party falls in behind him.

The entire Republican party in all branches of government is supporting Trump. His politics and the Republican party politics are one and the same. The last election the party did not have a platform because, quite literally, they said that whatever Trump says _is_ their platform.

He's a Republican backed by the Republican establishment funded by Republican donors and massively influential in Republican primaries. Republicans voted him into power twice. Republicans pushed his voter fraud narrative. Republicans embraced his vaccine skepticism and killed countless Americans. Republicans voted for his ICE policies that murdered two citizens of my home state.

Republicans caused this disaster and are all, each and every, individually morally responsible for putting Trump in power.

Republican voters, Republican politicians, Republican donors and the Republican political machine.

They picked the losing side of history and they can sink with it.
