Yes, very interesting. I feel that it is the inner circle along with Donald that plot who they put pressure on or coerce into performing for them. The overnight posts of fantasy scenes of dominance are a view into the mental state of the White House. So much comes out because as Bannon said "flood the zone". If any of it is called into question, the White House protests that Donald is being attacked.

In a relationship, this qualifies as mental and emotional abuse. This is what we are all suffering from. But we older people know that Donald has always been an abusive person.

Once he is gone, a number of psychotic people will need help or institutionalization.

You guys seem to have, sadly, misrepresented the supposed efficacy of the Milgram experiments, which have been largely discredited: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11981991/

You asked, "Why is it that Republicans continue to bend over backwards, bend the knee, kiss the ring, whatever you want to call it? Is it complicity? Is it that they’re weak? They’re afraid? They’re being blackmailed? Whatever the case may be." -- This is a common classic event in dying democracies, according to Levitsky and Ziblatt, How Democracies Die. Either the Congress becomes an attack dog or a lapdog, the latter type of dysfunction applying to our situation under Trump. Hardly a day passes when the Maga Republicans don't come up with a new gimmick to disenfranchise democratic Americans, Americans of color (most of whom are now disenfranchised), and of course women who have changed their name when they married (stay tuned for full disenfranchisement of women.) Should the Supreme Court approve Trump's insane mail-in voting approved list scam, many more will also be disenfranchised. This is the only way Republicans can "win," if that is even the proper word for it.

Exceptional level of intelligent understanding of the political morass the American public has contributed to and endured.
