"Trump is a collective Republican phenomenon. His individual bad actions are tacitly or less tacitly endorsed and enabled by his party as a whole."
-
"But GOP support for Trump is not some sort of permanent, transcendent truth. It’s a choice, and they have the power, every one of them, to choose differently.
Lisa Murkowski could switch parties; Marco Rubio could resign; John Kennedy could refuse to approve judges. They all have agency and they all have real power."

"[Eric Swalwell's] party simply withdrew its support in a decisive and effective way. If Republicans did the same for Trump, he would also be isolated and would also face enormous pressure to resign.
Of course, Republians aren’t going to do that because they are a fascist, pro-abuser party and they like their fascist abusive president."
