Just my opinion but I think why tRump's crimes are ignored by the GOP as well as the gullible buggers that mistakenly
believe and continue to support him is that he appointed three Justices to the United States Supreme Court which led to the reversal of
Roe V Wade.
Overturning Roe V Wade has been a republican wet dream since its inception and one of the largest reasons Ronnie Reagan defeated a great man in President Jimmy Carter. I know other factors did not help President Carter but Reagan promising to rid us of Roe V Wade swung millions of votes his way.
Our nation has been on a steady decline since Reagan took office culminating in the likes of someone like Donald Trump being elected President. And here we are today dealing with all the fallout. The only way I see a strong, solid future for the United States is the complete acceptance and enforcement of the rule of law. But that is going to be very difficult when only one political party and half the populace want it.
Hopefully our Democratic leaders can hold firm while the youth of America find the ways to end this nightmare.

hatred, and because they perceive him as owning the libs. Our reactions to his outrages delight them, and they are addicted to his defective personality.
Traditional republican politicians lick his grotesque feet because they want to get elected. He cultivated his cult specifically as a wedge in the party base. Its loud and very visible, and although actually smaller than we think, it IS enough to flip many primaries in red areas of the country. If youre not Тяцмpy, but your primary opponent is, you lose in Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, etc.
So the MAGATS are just a collection of the most deplorable among us, united as a voting block under his control. He uses them to knuckle under Republican leaders. I really think its that simple.
