I wonder if she's tried furrowing her brow.
Clearly they are not yet NEARLY afraid enough about the path they're allowing the Trump admin to take.
Oh no, you might get primaried?

Hey. I'm terrified of living under a fascist regime! Twinsies.
We already know almost all of them are spineless.
Leopards be feasting
Republicans are so spineless they let a low IQ felon rapist take over their party and cuck them.
I doubt a full Robespierre will set them off. Weaker spines than the 18th century French.
Cowardly traitors.
Fascism requires such cowards to enable their regimes.
If only we could have voted to keep him out
Sorry, too many ignorant losers in this country that didn't vote or voted 3rd party because they were apathetic or real mad about a single issue.

So if she, as a Republican ally is this afraid, how does she think his actual enemies feel?
She needs to retire, or just leave her job
It's not the trump organisation, it's the republican party, and by not doing anything, you're supporting them, and saving your own ass in the case the republican party fails.
Keep up the good work propelling fascist imperialism forward
She's 67 years old. She's been in the Senate for over 20 years. She can decide to retire after her current term and they can't use the threat of a primary against her. It's her choice to cower in fear and empower the destruction of our democracy. Because she is watching that happen. In the end she's just another pathetic boomer willing to bow to trump to cling to power.
they can't use the threat of a primary against her
She lost the 2010 primary during the height of the Tea Party movement, ran a campaign to have people vote for her as a write in candidate, and won as a write in.
In the end, the problem is that her vote doesn't actually matter this cycle, at least not by itself. In order to flex any muscle she'd need to actually persuade some colleagues to stand up to Trump. At this point she's more of a Republican Fetterman than a Republican Sinema/Manchin.

Doesn’t she realize that to an authoritarian government, the senate having the ability to break his power is the most threatening thing ever : the more you wait the more you need to be fearful because your life will be shortened. Right now, it is in Trump’s best interest to disappear congress and the supreme court. And the supreme court is mostly dealt with by now because proven powerless. He has two years two deal with Democrats and way more time to deal with whoever he believes a problem, but the senate is an everyday threat to his power.
Spineless traitor. She has a crucial vote and ability to impeach trump and says this shit. Lady if you dont grow a spine you're gonna burn either way.
Quick, let me find the world's smallest fiddle for these absolutely repugnant assholes. Go ahead, sell out the entire fucking country for power and then try to give us your fucking sob story. I'll get to you right after I finish mourning the people you've sent to the death camps, I swear.
“I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”
You took an oath. Being afraid isn't an excuse.
We expect 19 year old soldiers to run into fire and destruction to honor their oaths. We expect no less from our elected representatives.
I’ve said this before, but being an elected politician should be treated as a position of service, not of status and excess. If you want the office for the right reasons then having some downsides to taking the power should be no big deal.
Democracies are only as functional as their courts. I think the US court system has been failing its people in a lot of ways, for some time now.

Republicans take a second oath:
"I solemnly swear I'm up to no good."
I took that oath at 18.
Reading these headlines me think and feel that military service should be a prereq for US Congressional/presidential office.
Substitute "military service" with "minimum wage customer service," and you're onto something.
What they said ⬇️
Why not both?
That's Starship Troopers. 😄
The weird thing is that the book presented the idea of only veterans being allowed to vote as a good thing, unironically. The Wikipedia entry is interesting:

Yeah and if they haven't noticed - creeping fascism only gets worse the longer you let it linger. Time to bite the bullet and do something, it's not going to go away on its own and we're all going to be in more danger (including GOP senators) the longer it goes on.

Yeah, we have been well aware of this since the 2016 primaries. You are all massive chicken-shits who’s fear of a con artist eclipses your duty to the American people and the constitution. I’ll be sure to make a note of it in case I forget.
You took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution.
