We’re watching it now in the Senate. I expect the only Senators who vote against Gaetz’s nomination will be those who are not up for reelection in the next 4 years.

They are scared of their base who support him and of losing power, and likely are compromised and can be blackmailed like psycho can be.

In MF45's case, it's "дирт, салациус дирт." Putin keeps them in line.

His attraction all around seems gross and wildly crazy.

I can only conclude that there a lot of really, really stupid people of staggeringly low moral character.

listen to your peer group for guidance as to how to handle the system. You become part of that system and your wealth is reliant on following those rules.
Telling those rule makers to fry ice challenges you to find different rule makers.
Evolution is the adaptation of species to the changes in their environment.
Most in a species don't make the transition. It requires a certain perspicacity or a simple mutation.
In a nut shell, most people are chicken shit because they are limited in their abilities.
Look at Sherrod Brown maintain his loyalty to his constituents without a single whine.
Professional athletes know the game when they get traded. They play their cards and negotiate their contracts.
They are all free agents living off their talents.
Politicians live off their abilities to raise money and placate the most voters. They have this special ability to make their living representing the world view of their followers. They worry about losing their fans without an alternative.
Remember this, the average NFL player lasts less than 3 years.
Don't know how long Politicians last, but the ones who hang around know how to keep the money flowing.

He doesn’t.

Trump is their creation.

Trump is the product of a Republican party and conservative movement that for the last 50 years advanced a reactionary, fascist agenda of fear, ignorance, stupidity, racism, bigotry, misogyny, and hate.

With a toxic campaign of disinformation, fearmongering, and lies conservatives destroyed reasoned discourse and poisoned the political process creating the post-truth America we live in today – an America where the likes of Trump can be elected.
