“I don’t support Trump, I just want the people who oppose him to fail.”
One point I’ll give to the anti-anti-Trumpers.

Their main objective isn’t to promote Trump, even if they’re ok with that outcome.

Their primary concern is to protect *other* Republicans and conservatives from the consequences of their Trump support.
Part of that entails exiling and marginalizing anyone who openly rejected Trump. It’s why they’re so threatened by the Romneys and Bulwarks.

They want the heir to Trumpism to be someone who bent the knee.
Why? Because that’s what their friends+colleagues did. Taking a principled stand hurts people who work for politicians and organizations that can’t afford to be principled.

Anti-anti-Trumpism is how you remain in good standing with the establishment. It’s how the swamp adapts.
