Kara posted link to a rather insightful opinion piece by Paul Krugman. His digging in to the тАЬwhyтАЭ of the current character of a majority of the Repubs is spot on.
He contends it is the cowardice, not the craziness that is the threat to democracy.
that makes logical sense, but the situation may well be more like compromat (sp?). Hard to understand unless idjt has something on folks. Lindsay Graham comes to mind. Just doesn't make sense unless there is some money or secret being wielded.
Yes, Graham in particular is suspect. He changed his tune in the course if a single golf game with Trump. But ALL of them? That's a crapload of blackmail material and/or money. I suppose it's possible, but if I wrote it into a movie script it would be rejected as implausible.
Has there ever been 1 million marchers for any cause just or unjust in DC before?
So I am not at ease with 13-14%. The threat to democracy remains concrete at 43 million deluded cultish followers.

If one were to include the whole world in the 2017 Women's March, the number would be 7,000,000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Women%27s_March
OOh. That was fun. Thanks.

Of course theyтАЩre all afraid of bully Cheeto and losing their power.
But if they all just got together and said, "Go away, Donald," they could diminish his power, I would think.
TheyтАЩre just too afraid of him l think. He is vengeful.
