A good chunk of the party base and its leadership apparatus went along with nearly all of Trump's whims and power plays. They have encouraged the President to violate the Constitution, and they themselves have also directly supported Unconstitutional actions and measures.
I'm glad to see Romney, Liz Cheney, Paul Ryan, Chip Roy, Thomas Massie, and several GOP Senators issue statements and condemn what has taken place over the last few days, but it is simply not enough. The GOP is dead to me. Everything I feared about the know-nothing Palin wing of the GOP seizing power has now come to pass.
By no means am I comparing the two, but if people ever wondered how the Vichy came to collaborate with the Nazis, or how the Nazis got so many "good" Germans to engage in reprehensible behavior, the answer is before our eyes. It wasn't some unique mix of cultural factors -- it's the flawed human beings we all are. It's why the Founders setup our government to have checks and balances, and why the Constitution was setup to try to prevent naked power grabs by ambitious politicians and the like.
Our system is being tested like never before. I have no sympathy for the Kevin McCarthys, Tubervilles, or Mo Brooks of the world. They are lying scoundrels, cheats, and complete hypocrites. They deserve to be remembered in the history books as absolute fools, cons, and charlatans.
