It's all part of the more general mystery, isn't it?

Here you have almost all of the major players in the GOP huddling under Trump's arse waiting for the next major methane release, as if collecting its gas will save the world somehow.

It's a very, very strange thing, and likely to ruin their 2022 midterm chances. They've tricked themselves into thinking that running a bunch of women will somehow ingratiate themselves to the suburban women they've lost, forgetting that women aren't stupid. It's the same strategy they try when they put a Black dude in front of the cameras to rebut Biden's speech to Congress.

So the general mystery of following a man who led an insurrection and a trail of wickedness behind his almost every move remains unanswered.

What is it that Trump does that spawns these reactions?

I understand the argument about his rabid base, and not wanting to offend them. But if they just let Trump sort of fade away as the criminal justice system closes in on him, he'll do just that, and eventually his minions will see pictures of him in an orange jumpsuit with nothing but thin strands of hair on his pink face (he won't be able to orange it up). The hero will simply disappear.

But something keeps them wanting to keep propping Humpty Dumpty back up on the wall. It's a strange thing that will be studied by political science and sociology students long after I'm dead.

Stefanik is a perfect example of this, and Cheney is the poster child for cancel culture, ironically enough.
