I think this idea is misguided.

The point you have missed is the reality of actually being in power. The MAGA base has extorted politicians into holding the line regardless of what they believe or know. Trump is their voice ergo they must bend the knee in order to maintain their power. Selling their soul for a few bucks is nothing compared to having power.

They have the power and they will use it to destroy the federal government and by extension Democracy.

ignorance is the enemy
without equality there is no liberty
Save America - Lock Trump Up!!!!
