It makes sense once you recognize that none of these guys actually believe or feel anything. They’re all running a calculated sociopathic algorithm to maximize their own power.
The only reason any of them were anti-Trump at any point in the past was because they didn’t believe it would help their political career. Now they’re they’re all anti-reality/pro-fascism for the same reason.
Just like late-stage capitalism, we’ve set up a system that encourages this behavior. If you compare an honest politician vs one willing to say or do whatever is needed to secure power, the latter will always come out on top. Which is where we find ourselves.
If we somehow develop a forcing function to disincentivize this behavior, all of them will flip instantly, saying, “I had to. I didn’t agree with anything Trump was doing. I was only doing it because if I didn’t, someone worse would take my spot. Votes pleeeeaase 🫴”
