Why don’t more Republicans speak out against Trump?

  1. One of the requirements of being a Republican is being an abject coward with no moral center.

  2. Retribution from his brainwashed cultists and Trump himself. Until tthe head is cut off the snake it will continue to be like this.

  3. Because despite the increasingly unlikely chance he wins in november, it is still a chance. Best to stay within good graces until then.

    They are cowards! They rather see our country be burned to the grown before they would speak out against him and join a force to beat him. It’s more than sad it’s devastating.

  5. That-Makes-Sense on

    Options:

    -They believe Trump.

    -They don’t like to admit they’re wrong.

    -They support any Republican.

    -They’re waiting for more Republicans to speak out.

    -They think Harris is worse.

    -They are afraid of Trump.

    -They’re afraid of MAGAs.

    What else?

  6. Who really knows what Putin found when he hacked RNC back in 2016? I’m thinking, especially after Ladybird Graham’s astoundingly rapid flip after a golf game, he found mounds of career-ending slime, like pedos, closeted gays (not that libs would care), money from Russia and China, etc.

    Same question we’ve been asking since 2016.

    Anyone who speak out against him either changes their tune or retires.

  8. If/when he loses you will see these worms crawling out of the woodwork against him. They’re opportunists, cowards, and sycophants. There are very few principled politicians, much less principled republicans.

  9. Because any Republican who doesn’t like Trump is in the minority. The vast majority of Republican/conservative Americans love Trump – he’s the white supremacist candidate they’ve dreamed of all their lives. So anyone who speaks out against him will almost instantly lose all standing in the GOP and very often their jobs if they hold elected office.

  10. It’s because they’re awful people. Before anyone holds the depicted Liz Cheney up as a counter-example, realize she voted for Trump twice. It was only after she was directly, personally affected by him that she turned against him, and that’s a theme with Republicans. Their default state is zero empathy, zero concern for others.

  11. It’s because of science!

    The Republican party has completed the necessary opinion polls and found that they absolutely require the crazy, stupid, zealot, racist vote to stay at all relevant and if they lose that vote then the entire party goes down the drain because they won’t have enough power to be relevant.

    This is the reason why. Mitch McConnell and other die hard Republicans who spoke out against Donald Trump after January 6th reversed their opinions and and bent over to take some more.

    The Republican party is led by a bunch of assholes, but the assholes still seem too smart to resonate with the average Republican dumbass and they need an old pants shitting racist sexist piece of shit in order to keep the votes of your standard Republican.

  12. Because most of them will be fine with project 2025. This election is far from won. Have a plan to vote. Encourage friends and family to register and vote. Kamala Harris will need the support of elected federal, state, and local officials to get things done. Pay attention to down ballot races. Check your registration and if you expect lines at the polls bring water a snack and appropriate clothing for the weather. An umbrella can keep you dry and provide shade. Kamala Harris will need more than two years of congress to keep getting things done so we ALL need to keep voting. Everyone needs to register and vote. Elected and appointed Republicans are not trying in any way to improve the life of the poor and middle class. We need to keep voting out republicans every chance we get, every year. Protecting the rights of every American. Building our infrastructure for the future. Creating manufacturing jobs to build a stronger middle class. Improving Social Security not ending it. Supporting workers and unions. Expanding Medicare, Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. Addressing the climate crisis. are just some of the reasons to vote for the democrats.

    **GET OUT AND VOTE AND KEEP VOTING.**

    Off year and midterm elections are a good chance to flip so called red seats if we all just pay attention and show up. Remember democracy is not one and done. Keep voting in all elections and primaries every year. We vote out republicans and primary out uncooperative democrats.
