The boot lickers, self-interested cynics and useful idiots currently in the Republican party are indeed what's sustaining Trump. They could end his ambitions in a week if they collectively worked to, or at least if a sizeable minority of them did so, but so far, they'd much rather focus on their own benefit or personal partisan idiocies than realize that they're helping establish normalizations of deviant governing (such as it is) that will have repercussions for decades, and could later badly bite off a big bleeding chunk of their collective asses. It's stupid and self-serving nearly through and through among the deplorable pile of garbage that is most of the modern MAGA-GOP. None of this is to defend the democrats much either. They have had their heads up their asses politically in so many crucial moments that they did a lot to facilitate the voting in of this bullying orange buffoon, and currently, they're just barely raising the bar from a bare minimum of effort in trying to fight some of this president's more destructive policies. Then there are the top-level Tech CEOs and how they're so grossly bending over and presenting their asses to the new administration. With Musk at least there's an element of authenticity to it since he's been espousing the views he currently shows off for quite a long time, but with people like Bezos and Zuckerberg, and others, the cynical and fundamentally cowardly about-face is particularly grotesque to watch.
