Ummmm...
Because they're the same sort of bigot?
I've said it before.
I honestly thought the racial hatred & bigotry was more or less done.
Not racism, not abuse of power, not injustice.
But most of the virulent, violent hatred.
And not completely done, but mostly over.
And then Obama got elected.
And so many people who had been required to pretend to be nice just completely lost their shit.
All the 'Birther' garbage. All the "Secret Muslim" crap. All the stupid insults and criticisms of both of the Obamas.
The people who had hated people with different color skin, but had been forced by 'polite society' to mute those views came out from under their rocks and went apeshit.
Turns out they've always been there, but weren't able to be 'their real selves' in public.
Then Trump saw his opportunity. Remember his private detective who was going to provide earthshaking revelations 'in two weeks'?
Trump gained traction with his hate and vitriol, got the bigots and assholes wound up and the MAGA moron movement took off.
Trump and his idiot followers then proceeded to hijack the R party. Which resulted in Bobo, Gym Jordan and Empty Gee gaining power.
People like Liz Cheney decided they weren't very nice people and jumped ship, to their detriment.
Keep in mind that Liz is Darth Cheney's daughter. And Trump is too evil for her.
But not for the MAGA morons, and the politicians that pander to them.
