What are GOP members of Congress afraid of?

Posted

All over the country, elected Republicans are refusing to face up to the people who voted for them.
Time and again, our Republican congresscritters are no-shows.
The only place they show up is when it’s time to vote for whatever Trump and Musk want.
They don’t come back to the district at all.  They’re so co-opted and so afraid, they can’t think straight.
Are they figuring they won’t have to worry about getting re-elected?  Are they so afraid of Musk and Trump (which one is the president, anyway?) that they can’t do their jobs anymore?
Or are they assuming people’s votes in 2026 won’t be counted?
Just asking.
