Kudos to renegade Reps Tom Rice and Nancy Mace. Trump is attacking them because they were disloyal. Tyrants punish renegades. Anyone disloyal to Lenin was expelled from Russia (e.g., Nikolai Berdyaev). Anyone who crossed Stalin was expelled and murdered (e.g., Leon Trotsky). Anyone disloyal to Mao was dismissed from his position and then expelled from the Party (e.g., Ai Qing). Anyone disloyal to Trump is stripped of assignments, censured, and purged from the Party (e.g., Liz Cheney). Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism, Tumpism -- just different names for the same thing. Tyranny.

I'm not sure I'd be dishing out kudos to these "renegades". Didn't Nancy Mace recently post a self-humiliating video of herself in front of Trump tower? I'm not sure what they have done recently to fight back, but if they are fighting back, it is only because they are seeng that TFG's sway is weakening. Not much morals or principles or courage that one would expect from real leaders here.

Agree. Kudos is the wrong word. These two have only taken tiny baby steps away from tyranny.
