*Some* of the contempt/fear? C'mon man, it's obvious, at least to me, that any non-MAGA Republican (a truly endangered species) elected official is living in fear of what the Tangerine Troglodyte as his band of merry pranksters (sorry Mr Kesey) will do if they don't kowtow to the yuge orange turd floating in the Kool-Aid punchbowl, and they are already experiencing contempt from many of their constituents for not voting in lockstep with the New GOP. At best, they can expect to have their jobs taken away when they are primaried by a MAGAdroid, and given the penchant of MAGA candidates to pander to their base, which usually makes up a vast majority of primary voters, the currently seated politician can expect to lose. (And most likely as will the MAGA candidate in the general election, since I believe a majority of the voting public is getting fed up with asshat politicians who think that their position entails trying to usher in a tyranny of the minority, making our country into a "Christian" theocracy, owning the Libs, performing in political theater and trying to cover the Amber Australopithecus' ass rather than legislate for the good of all Americans.) At worst, violence and death threats are the stock in trade for the MAGA cultist knuckle draggers.
I'd be scared shirtless if I were a non-MAGA Republican, and, imo, justifiably so.
