Why is it not surprising that the only politicians speaking out are Democrats? Where are those famous “law & order” pols? Where are those who took the oath to defend the Constitution? Didn’t they swear to God? … AND the nation?

The magas won’t complain until they are directly affected.

True, and maybe a bit after … but during the war in Vietnam, protests helped but it really set in when the bodies were returned to rural families.

I am reading constantly and didn’t see anything about the Treasury protest until I read Jim Acosta’s transcript. I would’ve been there. I imagine the Republican and even MAGA agents are amazed at this betrayal and wouldn’t believe the people who care more about them are the Democrats that have been reviled for so long now.

Perhaps old school Republicans will wake some day to discover their party has been usurped by a passel of racists, religious bigots, misogynists … and fascists.

A rude awakening, I think, to discover that one is “woke”.

I look at the website of Morris Ct Republicans (NJ) . Not a word. These include many old fashioned Republicans - I was a member once... Business people, socially liberal. But that's all gone in service of MAGA

It is quite simply incomprehensible. Trade in humanity for “power” you will never actually get.
