Did you just wake up from an 8 year nap? The dude straight up bragged about raping women and wanting to fuck his daughter, on camera, and they loved him for it.
Hillary was right when she called them all deplorable.
His rhetoric has always been extreme, but I feel calling for executions is taking it a step further. This man is fucking dangerous and everyone on the republican side is just “hehe can’t say anything bad about daddy trump or I’ll get spanked by his supporters hehe”. Even though there are republicans who are avidly against him and they haven’t been, as far as I know, hurt too much in their respective state polls.
Because he’s giving them what they want and they know that democracy won’t do that. This is the party of REDMAP and Gingrich and Goldwater and shutting down polling places in poor and predominantly black areas. Trump escalated it sure, but he was more the one willing to say things that they were afraid were political suicide. That’s why they distanced themselves but fell in line. When no backlash came they rode it out. There aren’t any people in 2023 carefully weighing their options between trump and Biden, just people acting on their emotions and allegiances.
At what point do you accept that you’ve been one of the bad guys? At what point do you accept that the friends and family who cut ties with you over this were right? How far back do you have to look at your affiliation? Was it ok for you to have voted for McCain, romney, bush, Reagan?
He tried to get his base to kill Hillary during the 2016 election.
But, the GOP has largely turned their backs on trump for a slightly more competent tyrant. There's only a small portion of his cult left.
