One could apparently falsely believe that those serving as elected public officials would / could, now, realize and acknowledge, despite the rhetoric of former President Trump, etc., on the contrary, he clearly lost the 2020 elections, and most polls, polls, etc, indicate, their positions are predominantly minority positions, in terms of popularity, etc! Yet several months later, it appears, many of the Republican officials are apparently continuing to follow their so-called playbook. It is often a challenge for someone who disagreed, strongly, with many of Donald J. Trump’s policies, actions, and rhetoric / vitriol, to consider why this continues, but, with that in mind, this article will try, briefly, to consider, examine, review and discuss, 5 possible reasons, this can be, consistently, carried out, etc.
1. According to: The simplest explanation may even be, despite any rhetoric and promises, these politicians agree with him, or with his personal / political agenda, and / or, believe it, by doing so, they fulfill and achieve their own interests. . Since the last election, it seems that we are witnessing many of these people, positioning themselves as possible future candidates for their party and, they continue to behave, as they do, to attract the main supporters of Trump, etc.
2. Fear / fear of him and / or his followers: What influence, perceived threats and fear of suffering the wrath of this former president and / or some of his most prominent supporters? Rather than being horrified by the January 6 uprising on Capitol Hill, it seems that perhaps many of these politicians, for security reasons, feel that they are personally better served by maintaining their loyalty to Trump.
3. Skeletons in your closets: We have all heard of some people having skeletons in their closets, and many apparently believe that Trump would not hesitate to use his knowledge of these, as ammunition, against them!
Four. He needs your populist and financial support: It can be a pure and politically calculated decision, focusing on trying to attract and / or maintain your populist appeal and enhance your ability to attract the financial support necessary to benefit your political agenda / career. !
5. Political / personal agenda and, perceived, self-interest: Many seem to believe that the former president often holds a grudge and maintains it for a significant period. Believe, Trump’s recent rhetoric and harsh words to both former Vice President Pence and Senator McConnell, etc., as evidence of this! Former Senator Charles Goodell once said, why are we witnessing this, when he said: Politicians are like antelopes. When the going gets tough, they paint their butts white and run with the crowd. Perhaps the main reason we continue to witness this is purely pragmatic and emphasizes a personal / political agenda and in some cases self-interest!
Wake up America and demand better, more representative leadership that seeks a meeting of minds, for the common good, less partisan politics, and prioritizing the needs of all Americans, rather than the wishes of politicians, etc. Will you become a more responsible voter sooner rather than later?
