Or any republican, honestly. The GOP only cares about power for the sake of having power. Or, at least, that's their first priority and they're willing to compromise on anything else as long as it will bring them power.
All those objections to Trump? The republicans only acknowledged those after it was realized that he's unpopular and he's hurting them in elections.
Remember when 7 months wasn't enough time to nominate a supreme court justice in 2016? Moscow Mitch certainly changed his mind about that in 2020, didn't he?
Remember how they impeached Bill Clinton for disgracing the office of the presidency but completely ignored the multiple disgraces Trump brought (finishing things off by inciting a riot on the capitol)?
Remember how budget deficits were a big problem from 1993-2000 and from 2009-2016 and since 2021? I wonder what those time periods have in common?
Remember how much republicans hate activist judges?
Remember how abortion is always evil and sinful and wrong.... unless you got knocked up by Hershel Walker, then we just don't talk about it.
Remember how consenting homosexual sex was literally a crime and there are supreme court justices that still think it should be, but republicans totally aren't homophobic.
Remember how they complain about media bias because they're hearing so much about it from Faux News, OAN and Newsmax?
Their top priority is their own power. Everything else is secondary. But when they really consolidate that power (and Moore v Harper could REALLY make that happen instantly), we've seen what they do with power and it isn't pretty. Laws that mirror theocratic states in the middle east and looking away from the concentration camps being built in our back yard and human rights violations by police being ignored and politicians being above the law and elections that are every bit as impactful as the elections in North Korea. Yeah, that's more than a little scary.
