Why are Republican politicians so afraid to oppose Trump?

This is the Rock and a Hard Place scenario that nobody wants to find themselves in. Their only option is to end up as a talking head on TV, often being shouted down by volunteer opponents who have signed up for Trump/GOP party lines.

So, any Republican with a conscience and some grip on reality, who actually thought for themselves and voted/spoke contrary to party lines, will find themselves cut off at the knees and hanging from a short rope, politically speaking.

They are not just opposing Trump, they are opposing the machine, designed by Reagan and perpetuated since by the Bush’s and Trump - this machine does not do proper politics any more, it just has one rationale… Oppose everything that the Democrats stand for and ignore what the people want as ‘trickle-down economics’ works.

Were the 1980s as uptight and prudish as movies and TV shows make them out to be? When I think of 80s culture, I think about a very "icky" judgmental yuppie status quo time period.

Gingrich and McConnell have been spouting that edict for decades.

It seems that the bar is set too low nowadays for standing as a Representative or Senator for the Republicans. You just have to kiss the pinky ring of the ‘leader’ of the party.

No ‘I stand for my constituents’, or ‘I will vote as my conscience dictates’.

Can ringing in the ears be a sign of spiritual awakening?

No, they all speak or vote as the top republican or GOP edict says to vote or speak… no agreeing with any Democrat, no allowing any lassitude in freedom of speech… either you are a loyal lap-dog to the party line, or you are anathema… you’re dead to me!

Yet despite the failure of the GOP to censure the breaking of the US Constitution by Trump et al, despite the tight control of Reps and Senate, sometimes a person cannot, in all good conscience, endure the lies and the corruption… Cheney, Kinzinger etc. do have their own brains, their own morality.

Opposing Trump will get them ostracized from the GOP… they’ll never get voted in as a Red Team member again, but it won’t get them elected for the Blue team, as they are NOT Democrats.

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

Unfortunately the majority of Republican politicians are not politicians… they are on the gravy train for the money, and leave the politics to the major players… some of them couldn’t be a real politician if it were to save their life, they certainly don’t know enough real knowledge to win any arguments in the house… e.g. MTG, Boebart, Scott… the moment they size up to someone with a brain and knowledge of the law, they are toast.

So they cozy up to the powerful and parrot what they are told in the hopes of ‘good dog’ treats.
