I may have told you this before, Tom, but my father was a lifelong Republican...until Trump hit the scene, and he saw early on that things were "rotten in Denmark" and changed his voter registration to Democrat, because he said "I fought in 2 wars for this nation and I believed I was doing the right thing. This man is destroying that nation and I cannot continue to support a party that supports him." Because he lived in OK, he had to declare his party in order to vote. So, when he died one day shy of his 99th birthday in 2022, it was as a Democrat.

What hold does Trump have over all these Republicans that keeps them from being representatives of the people who put them in office? Have they totally forgotten those people and what they want? Do the phone calls, texts, emails an letters mean nothing to them? All Trump wants is the power; he doesn't care about the people in Congress. They are tools to get him what he wants and nothing more. I guess they can't see that, either.

God help us...

I'm not religious, but that quote GaryInSanDiego put up from James about how sin is created seems very apt to me in explaining this phenomenon.
