There used to be some Republicans that I respected to some degree, even if I disagreed with their policies. John McCain, Ron Paul, and Mitt Romney are examples.
Now the only hope I have for current Republican politicians is that some of them are secretly opposing Trump because of their own ambitions. I don’t think a good person could have kept quiet about Trump.
The politicians I mentioned stood out because they didn’t always toe the party line. They actually represented their constituents, and that’s the bare minimum I think you need to be an elected representative. Whatever else they’ve done, the fact that they actually served as representatives makes them stand head and shoulders above the usual throngs of spineless losers who serve as our congresspersons.
When you give the party as much power as our politicians do, it violates the most basic principles that this country was founded upon.
The ones you mentioned are all despicable people, maybe do some research. They literally just acted somewhat reserved and dignified in public while performing their atrocities. I’d argue that’s actually worse.

The ones you respected have done some terrible shit in the name of status quo. Some of it has flown under the radar.
