For years, the Republican Party — and ultra-wealthy businessmen in general — have warned about "unelected bureaucrats" and the danger they pose to accountable government. But when they are handed unified control of Washington, they immediately bring in their own to control everything, wrote Ryan Teague Beckwith for MSNBC.
The principal way they are already doing this, he wrote, is the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative, in which two pro-Trump billionaires, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, are heading up an unofficial task force, outside the government itself, to essentially make recommendations from on high about which federal programs and services should be cut.
All their complaints about "unelected decision-makers working without authorization from Congress and the Constitution" don't matter, he said, because "as it turns out, these critics don’t really mind any of those things, as long as they’re the ones in charge."
Raw Story
I am not in their head but my guess is that they see themselves as the true christian.
They also see their god as absolutely above the law and always correct no matter what he does so they see themselves as free to do anything compared to the democrats. It is very important for them that Jesus wins (republicans win) no matter what otherwise, the devil (democrats) wins and the transgenders get rights, the gays get rights, the atheists get rights.
So, let's say that they have to compromise their (republican citizens) morality because you (transgender, gay, atheist) exist.
In the case of republican politicians, I think being immoral is just how they are. Donald can be more open about being immoral since he understands that the citizens are desperate to bring Jesus into the USA.
