Not for long, they won't. There is exactly one center of gravity in the GOP, and finding yourself mis-aligned with that is not a good move, politically. People will grumble privately, but that's as far as it will go.
vkou•1h ago
They should put their money where their mouth is and impeach.

Or at least stop participating in that farce of 'we always have exactly enough rotating no votes to win every vote, while providing plausible deniability for the vulnerable seats'.

Until they do either, they are fully complicit in what the executive does.

Look, impeachment and removal from office IS the correct thing to do. But criticizing would-be King is a good first step. Let's allow them to take that first step.
smt88•18m ago
They're not doing the first step.

They're criticizing Democrats. They're saying Trump is using this power for good, but he should stop because Democrats will use it for evil.

This isn't a principled criticism of a fascist crackdown on speech. It's openly-cynical political strategizing.

Notice however that their arguments are pragmatic rather than principled:

"Democrats will use this against us when they come to power again," not "It's morally wrong to censor the speech of your political opponents."

bamboozled•1h ago
I wonder if they're just saying that not to annoy the king though? Like maybe they are genuinely concerned and want to put a spin on it to keep the boy king happy?

I think you're being way too charitable with them. If the past few months have shown us anything, it's that these people have no principles.

They just worry they wont be able to keep power forever and then democrats may use some of it against themselves.

I remember when everyone who said this will happen and that this is conservative project was stupid and paranoid. I remember when those who said they want to do this were supposed to be just edgy teenagers to be ignored, even when they were 40 and organizing.

More free whitewashing for the GOP. A better title would have been "Most Republicans Completely On Board With Ending Free Speech".

They were all silent when the government wrote up a list of banned words in science...

Could someone please ask them if they also think that is a problem?
