And that's the frustrating part about our current state of politics. Whistleblowing would be great to start with, but telling the truth at any point can be a career ender. They've created a dynamic to be able to get away with just about anything and people refuse to speak up. That doesn't bode well for us.
We had a poster during the last election who worked in the Republican political sphere. I forget who it was, but I remember them being open and honest. They bluntly stated the above. They were not willing to ruffle any feathers over Trump because it would be the end of their career and that wasn't an option for their family. Their reasoning was Trump would be long gone before they were. Not only is that not happening anytime soon, the problem now is when Trump leaves, there will be someone else ready to jump in because he has laid the groundwork for the current boldness of the far right. This poster's perceived problems with Trump aren't going away after he is gone. Too many people working on the Republican side have stayed silent for far too long. One would like to think they have been working behind the scenes to get back to relative normalcy, but if they have, they haven't been very successful.
I dont think the long term is nearly as bad as you think. Trump has energized the old tea party and some more radicals. A lot of those people are following him, not a movement. Once he is out of the picture half his 30% base disappears, and your more central Republicans can start working to bring normalcy back as his insurmountable voting block is gone and many of the real republican voters who have left or stopped voting, will return.
The bigger issue could be his control of the RNC that has now been established, and how and when Trump disappears. what happens in Nov, goes along ways towards resolving a lot of this, a Huge loss and its bye bye, a small loss, will be interesting to see how he plays it, but I think he goes nuts and stresses out to death or gets locked up. A win, and well I think both sides are screwed as he just goes off doing whatever the hell he wants. He has enemies that are Republican also.
