“If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed … and we will deserve it.” - Lindsey Graham
I’ve successfully repressed many of my Trump-era political memories.
Can anyone tell me how Republicans went from “we’ll be destroyed and we’ll deserve it” to “unggh, Daddy Trump, destroy me harder” between 2016 and 2017?
Because the Trump cult got emboldened after Trump won in 2016, and it quickly became clear that any Republican that wasn’t sufficiently “unggh, Daddy Trump, destroy me harder” would get primaried by someone that was. Kiss the ring or be excommunicated.
It’s hard to feel sympathetic for them about it though, the spent the previous 20+ years paying lip service to types of people who make up the Trump cult because they were convenient for winning elections. They just never expected those people would do anything besides vote in the most respectable business-friendly Republican. Leopards, faces, yadda yadda yadda.
He was winning. Once he was the nominee the establishment republicans all got behind him because otherwise they ran the risk of being primaried
He’s the best chance the fascist GOP has for survival. :)
