I understand why the Republicans fear Trump. It does not fully explain their behavior.

The Republicans in congress fear Trump and their base because Trump can end their careers with a tweet, I get that. This does not explain why they are literally risking everything by not removing Trump. If you live in fear of Trump why would you want to serve for many more years as his puppet. There is more to this that meets the eye.

Many so called moderate Republicans do not like Trump. Democrats in Congress have told us so. Some of them secretly may hope Trump loses the election. They see this as a better option than impeachment.

You have tea party Republicans in congress who love Trump. They love the fact that Trump is a fucking asshole because they are fucking assholes. They will not impeach Trump.

Then you have Republicans in congress who are involved in Trumps corruption. Many Republicans were involved in the Russia conspiracy and cover up.

Now you have many Republicans involved in the Ukraine scandal. These corrupt Republicans believe the best way to protect themselves is to protect Trump. This way they can block the truth from being investigated.

I believe some Republicans see Trump as a useful idiot. They know Trump is extremely ignorant, easily swayed. You will see these Republicans golfing with Trump. They believe Trump will give them what they want and they believe they can keep him under control. These Republicans are very foolish and very dangerous.

The Republicans are suffering from the disease of fear. They fear for different reasons. The thing I have a hard time understanding is, the Republicans fear many things ahead of what they should really fear, the destruction of our way of life. What good is it protecting Trump if you get destroyed and in the end you damage the entire country in the process?

The Republicans will probably acquit Trump. From that moment on they will be responsible for everything that happens next.

I have no doubt we will get through this insane period of history. However the damage may be severe and it may take a few generations to heal the damage.
