I really don't understand these republicans who are just giving their power away to the Exec, who is going to screw every single one of them if he gets a chance
they aren't giving their power away, they are being mugged at gunpoint by trump: "fall in line, or you'll be primaried." anyone who
was willing to risk the wrath of trump has been wrath'ed away: cheney, kinzinger, romney, etc. they've been filtered out, only the subservient are left... hence the lack of opposition from within. only way to still have a seat in the GOP House is to support trump in all he does, no matter what he does. but you get to keep your job! ("and in this economy, jobs are scarce... incidentally, i wonder things got so bad...")
prediction/deep concern: eventually things get so economically disastrous that GOP reps will have the space to to push back - the rep's fear of voters perceiving them as doing nothing will be stronger than the fear of bring primaried. they'll finally be able to say "i stood up to trump's complete shitshow and protected your interests - so vote for me over the well-funded maga carpetbagger that trump sent to oust me." unfortunately, that can't happen until the economy become a complete shitshow.
