Well, we’re eight long months into Trump’s maliferous reign, and 85% of Republicans approve of the job he is doing as president. No legislative accomplishments to speak of, pulled out of the Paris Accord, undermined health care for millions, defended actual Nazis and Klansmen, said and Tweeted things no responsible parent would let go unpunished if done by their 10-year-old son. Colluded with Russia to undermine American democracy and covered it up, made foreign powers pay for access, forwarded images promoting violence against journalists and women. Made lying the central presidential pastime. And on and on.

After all this, 17 of 20 Republicans you meet will be supporters of Trump.

Republicans have betrayed America. Republicans support immoral, inhumane, cruel, racist, misogynist, classist and generally bigoted policies. Republicans have brought toxic language, ideas, and actions to the center of American politics.
Republicans stand for all that is dangerous, vicious, ugly, and stupid in contemporary America.
Republicans love Donald Trump.
