    This is what I don’t get. What’s the end game here? Why are people so hell bent on Trump winning? Do these politicians not see the ship sinking? What possible motivation could be keeping these people loyal to him? I’m not talking about the regular constituents but the other republican officials in office? What the hell do they stand to gain here?

      It’s mass delusion. They’re operating primarily on lies and fantasy instead of any reality.

      In other words, trying to apply logical reasoning to their perspective is not going to work.

      Because they are part of a cult that has infiltrated government for decades to turn it into a christofascist state and they’re at their endgame.

      Because the only other option, losing, means that they’re losers and they can’t accept that. It’s not any more complicated than that.

      They want a race war. They want concentration camps and mass killings of anyone they deem a liberal. Reinstate slavery and to hurt a lot of people. That’s their in game. It’s a playbook written on writing a tidal wave of hate and emotions.
