(8,810 posts)alot of well educated individuals that I know were Republicans all their lives and just go along with this entire Republican conflagration because of that. The term "Scorched Earth" comes to mind.
The reality of this entire mess is that a large percentage of these people continue to have their bank accounts padded by tax cuts their republican party provides them scott free. They are thinking of their finances prospering, with only having to vote for a few minutes every four years to get their wealth to escalate, and they could give a Rats ass about the country, democracy, or their children and grand children. They, like Trump and the Republicans are so un-fathomably narcistic they can only, and will only, think of themselves.........period. I suppose there are a number of these almost sociopaths that are also into power and status (think politicians and corporate executives).............all exuding nauseating virtues and disgusting values........
Most disturbing is the spawn they raise, indoctrinating them to think just like them. Think no farther than the horrific children of Donald Trump............
