A few things to remember:

First and foremost: unlike during Nixon’s days as President, when the GOP actually had Moderate and Progressive politicians, none of those creatures exist today. There’s no way the Congressional GOP is going to confront the current President and tell him that he needs to resign, because…..

He and they have a “symbiotic” relationship, one in which they need each other to survive. The President needs the GOP to control Congress so that he’s not impeached and removed; the Congressional GOP need him in the White House to take the heat (or most of it, anyway) off of them.

Third point to remember and one that exposes the GOP for the pathetic hypocrites they are: before the election last year, Congressional GOPers, in anticipation of Hillary Clinton winning the White House, promised more bogus investigations, etc., into Clinton’s “criminality”, even though there’s no evidence to back up their claims about Clinton being criminality corrupt. Meanwhile, you have a President whose administration is already the most corrupt in this country’s history and they don’t want to investigate him, let alone begin impeachment proceedings.

Point #4 and the best explanation for why nearly nothing is getting done in DC right now: the GOP Civil War. That conflict began in earnest in December 2012 with the “autopsy”, their attempt at explaining why and how Barack H. Obama, Jr., had beaten them a second time. Civil Wars usually have just two sides, but, in this case, the GOP have “overachieved” and there are FOUR Factions to it…..

Faction 1 are the ProtoFascist sociopaths, such as the President and many of his minions. Only three high-profile members of the current administration, VP Pence, USAG Sessions and Secretary Price, are not members of this group. Those three are……

Faction 2 Republicans, the PoliCon (politically Conservative) psychopaths. While Factions 1 and 2 agree on most everything, the reason Faction 2 hate Faction 1 so much is that the latter group have done a great job in exposing PoliConism (political Conservatism) for what it truly is: Fascist psychopathology.

Faction 3 are the sociopaths or psychopaths in Moderate clothing. Sens. Collins and Capito are the best (but not the only) examples of this Faction. This group are unlucky enough to represent states/districts that are competitive at the ballot box, so they must moderate their sociopathic or psychopathic views in order to be re-elected. Make no mistake, though: if that weren’t the case, Faction 3 GOPers would be members of one of the first two groups.

Faction 4 are the VOTING supermajority (66%) of the party (but none of the politicians of it, see above), the Moderates and Progressives. This group act exactly like the “Proles” of the Orwell novel “1984”, having more than enough power to rebel against the psychopathic or sociopathic masters of their party, but not wanting to do it. This group were the people who helped the Democrats rout the GOP in the 2006 midterms and nearly finished the GOP in 2008. However, starting with the 2010 midterms, they decided to “rebel” against the PoliCons not by voting Democratic, but by refusing to vote at all. That petulance has led to the first two Factions taking over their party.

Final point: while there’s no specific mention in the Constitution nor through legal precedent that disallows a President from trying to pardon himself or issuing a “pre-emptive” pardon, GOP politicians are big believers in violating the “just because you CAN do something doesn’t mean that you SHOULD” philosophy. Besides: when did the criminally corrupt GOP start worrying about violating the rule of law in this land? To them, the US Constitution is simply a piece of paper that gets in the way of their dream of establishing a Fascist Christian Plutartheocracy.

Of course, don’t expect Republicans, especially the voters, to read these facts and truth and all of the sudden realize that they’re the facts and truth. What they’ll do, especially the Moderates and Progressives, is to go through “The Progression”, cognitive dissonance, false equivalency and projectional hypocrisy, in response to the facts and truth of matters political. Thanks to the current administration, they don’t begin with cognitive dissonance, a slightly insane action where they simply deny the truth and facts because they make them uncomfortable. Most of them begin with the false equivalency narrative, the ridiculous notion that “both parties are the same”, both parties being the GOP and Demos. You’ll hear the false equivalency narrative especially from the Firebagger (Libertarian) hirelings of the Faction 2 GOPers, who hired thousands of them early last year to infiltrate the Democratic Party in an effort to get Bernie Sanders the Democratic nomination. The Faction 2 GOPers usually skip the first two steps and go straight to projectional hypocrisy, a psychiatric ploy whereby the claimant makes bogus claims about others that truly apply to them.
