In reply to the discussion: Really - Why Are The Repugs In Congress So Afraid Of Tr**p?... [View all]Martin Eden
(13,143 posts)40. Fascism, Fear, and Opportunism
A growing number of R's in Congress are full-on MAGA fascists. They see Trump for what he is, and love what they see.
Those who loathe Trump fear being primaried, and also fear for their safety if they dare oppose him.
Others are opportunists, totally unprincipled. They care only about their personal ambition, and see jumping on the Trump train as a ride to fame and fortune.
