Don’t be surprised or deterred by the fact that Republicans would rather double down on paranoid, persecutory delusions than face their own culpability in Trump’s criminality. Their entire platform is rooted in feigned victimhood, evasion of consequences and blatant lies.

The GOP’s had ample opportunity to throw Trump under the bus yet they refuse to do it b/c 1) they’re all partners in crime who are covering each other’s asses and 2) their base is too propagandized and rabid to back away from the ledge. Faced with facts, they retreat to fantasy.

It isn’t breaking news that when they can’t successfully self-soothe in the Fox fantasy bubble, they resort to threatening/inciting violence. We’ve all seen this tantrum b4 & it STILL isn’t a valid excuse for letting anyfuckingbody off the hook for crimes against our democracy.

Also I’m not here for any hot takes from ANY elected Republicans who not only voted against Trump’s impeachment/removal but also aided & abetted obstruction of both the Mueller investigation and the GOP’s very own sham Russia probe. They’re all doing CYA until proven otherwise.

Nope. Nope. Nope. Vote them ALL the FUCK OUT and let the DOJ sort out the rest. #GOPGottaGo 🗑

Don’t ever expect mea culpas or epiphanies from this current crop of elected Republicans/Trump loyalists, they willfully chose to buy tickets for & remain aboard this treasonous train wreck even AFTER it was promptly vacated by establishment GOP leaders who saw the carnage ahead.

They became and remain loyal to Trump because it was never about him being a paragon of virtue, it was about seizing White Nationalist power by ANY means necessary. His lawlessness is a manifestation of their undue privilege, a refusal to be constrained by law, order, or reality.

Bottom line is Trump and his orbit have been under FBI investigation for over 5 years now, so it’s way too late for the GOP’s performative poutrage. 5 months in he was already obstructing justice/under suspicion of espionage, all he’s done since then is add to his rap sheet.

In their infinite hubris, Republicans thought their votes to acquit would put an end to all inquiries and their base’s votes would put Trump back in the WH where he could hide behind “sitting POTUS can’t be indicted” for 4 more years. When that failed they tried an insurrection.

Thing is, it’s time to pay the piper. No matter how many lies they tell on his behalf or how loyal they remain to his cult, Trump can’t be saved from his own self/Individual 1. The people who aid, abet and provide cover for him only do it b/c if he goes down, he’ll take them too.
