Why Republican pols and business people continue to support Trump [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-10-28 Why are Republican politicians and business people supporting Trump? It isn’t a difficult answer. They have nothing to lose. If Trump wins they’re sittin’ pretty. No worries. When trump loses they have nothing to worry about. Democrats have no plans for retaliating, and never have. There’s precedent. Democrats have had many reasons and opportunities to cause serious legal and political problems for criminal republicans, BUT too often haven’t. Every republican administration leaves many trails of corruption. Democrats always seem to look forward instead of dealing w/leading republican criminals and their funders. (Imagine if Confederates were dealt w/more realistically). The reason Republican politicians and business people know they will suffer no consequences when Democrats sweep Congress and the Presidency, is because they never have in the past. And VP Harris has already clearly indicated she will continue the Democrats leniency and add a republican spy to her Cabinet. Should the criminal syndicate of trump find a way to steal the Presidency then Republicans who support him will be in clover. Republicans who support a Democratic candidate, will likely be in big trouble should Democrats lose. (unless they’re very wealthy, trump will always excuse slights from the wealthy). So, republicans who support trump will suffer no harm whomever wins. Republicans supporting trump, have nothing to lose and possibly much to gain. Nihilists.
