re: #128 lawhawk

I’d got a step further.

The GOP isn’t being extorted based on kompromat.

The GOP is willingly going down this path because they think that this will preserve their power for the long term (or indefinitely). Siding with Russia and taking foreign money will cover for the fact that they are a minority party and demographics will make that more stark in coming years.

Trump is beholden to so many people that he’s a walking textbook example of what not to do - ever. The GOP didn’t care, because they got to use Trump to cover for their packing the courts with right wing extremists for the next 30-40 years.

That’s what I suspect, that a lot of the right wing in the West has been sold on some global conservative/fash alliance, or promised a slice of the territory if they play along…
