yes, they are like the UK conservatives since 1945 (except when Thatcher was leader)
the UK non-Thatcher tories have always accepted the overall policies of the Labour Party, and just quibbled about the details.
Bingo.
That’s it, exactly.
Some will argue that they accept the status quo because they don’t believe in anything much different than the Left does.
I think most of the Repubs - not all but most - have beliefs that differ from the Dems.
But they do not have the desire to fight.
It’s too hard. It’s too risky.
If at the Alamo, they would have crossed Col. Travis’s line and run away from the fight.
Not because they wanted Texas to be ruled by the Mexican dictator, but because they did not care enough about the issue to fight for it.
Fighting is not what they went to DC for. They went to DC because they wanted to be in DC, and now that they are there, they just hope to hang on to their seats in Congress, come **** or high water.
They want to avoid the LSM crosshairs and the Dems Chicago mob machine.
