Republicans supported Trump—TWICE—because he presented himself as the alternative to the warmongering spendthrift control freaks. Biden promised "no malarkey." Obama was the "Hope and Change" candidate. Bush ran on a "humble foreign policy." I guaran-damn-tee the politicians will say whatever the hell they think will appeal to the majority, and carry on largely doing the same tyrannical nonsense. When Democrat politicians take power, and that looks like a 95% certainty at the moment, their supporters will be just as self-deluded as MAGA is now. 100% certainty. Just like the anti-war left went silent after 2008.
