Lmao. Republicans in House/Senate would put their own mother in a concentration camp if Trump demanded it. There's not a single thing that would turn any of them around, I am convinced of that now, they'll always fall in line and follow the leader, they've lost any shred of morals, decency and courage.

Indeed, they all put their political career over country. It's only when they don't plan to run for re-election, like the Mitch McConnell of today, that they can put some decency on display. But the McConnell of the past went down in history as one of Trump's biggest enablers ever, so his current gestures won't save his legacy.

The USA is on a dangerous path in many ways and at the same time the unique nature of the USA may be why there's a still a rather quick way out of all this, although it would degrade to utter chaos before it got any better. I am talking about the second amendment and its biggest supporters who kept talking about it as if it's sacred and a tool that will allow the American people to fight their own government if oppression should ever set in. Years back it was a laughable idea, but since then we've witnessed January 6 which was an absolutely unthinkable thing before it happened.

Obviously, Trump's voters won't turn against Republican members of congress because of the USA turning into Russia's little bitch. Much like Trump, they don't give a damn about anybody else's well-being. But what can affect them are massive firings, cuts to social security and rising grocery prices, and there's plenty of that underway. Trump may threaten people's political careers, but there are enough nutjobs among Republican voters in the USA who could raise the stakes by trying to take lives of Republican politicians. Sounds extreme, but leading up to the last election we had two cases of attempts to assassinate Trump. If we get to that point, it might make congress members think twice about going along with everything on Trump's agenda, because money does you no good when you are dead.
