Just seven of 50 surveyed GOP lawmakers are planning to actually attend the president’s birthday festivities over the weekend, reported Politico. […] Those sticking around include some of Trump’s most stalwart MAGA supporters: Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene (who told Politico “of course” she’d be there), Byron Donalds, and Elise Stefanik are all planning to celebrate. Representatives Cory Mills, Rich McCormick, John McGuire, and Lisa McClain are also expected to be in attendance.
Two possibilities:
I reckon it’s just going to be seriously lame and underwhelming.
57% chance of thunderstorms
Wait, are we expecting some serious shit to go down ?
They’re definitely going to murder some protestors
I dunno, I think attending someone’s party for themselves is pretty fucking cringe. They’ve already kissed the ring, I can’t imagine it’s fun for them to grovel. They just do it when they have to satisfy the crown and virtue signal to their base since they didn’t vote for them as much as they did for a Trump green light. Nobody is twisting their arm in this case.
They could be busy with shit in their states, they could not want photos/videos/records of them attending the events to exist in the future.
When your opponents say you are trying to become a police state and trample peoples rights, you probably don’t want to be featured standing next to a tank on civilian streets.
In 1-3 years when they believe they will be running for office during an election that will potentially have far more people fleeing the MAGA agenda as people see the results, they will want to distance themselves and appear to have maybe been a more “moderate” Republican candidate. Hard to do standing next to a military vehicle resembling those that you rolled into metropolitan cities and whatever ensued occured because of it.
Remember Anwar Sadat? Maybe they do know something.
We should be so lucky.
