Remember that they believe in a hierarchical society. Other people complaining simply confirms to them that they're higher up than the ones complaining.

They're completely uninterested in morals and competence and expertise and so on. They just want power and to feel elevated by making other people miserable.

The GQP has lowered its standards a tad I've say.

because of him. GOP cares about protecting and expanding the wealth and privilege of the wealthy and privileged. That as a slogan wouldn't win them any elections. Until they abolish elections they have to win them, or at least give the appearance that they did (Florida, 2000). Resentment, grievance, bigotry (racial and religious), fear and hate win them elections; and no one is a more suitable spokesperson for those "issues" than the stinky orange fascist rapist. Nixon's "Southern Strategy" has reached its fullest form to date through him. After all, they control SCOTUS; which may be endgame (we'll see). MAGAt thralls live vicariously through him, because their ammosexual-beta-male-dominated existence is so truly miserable. Not to mention stupid. I predict they will only get worse.

And yes, the whole party has been complicit. Everything they've done since World War One ended (and probably before but I was too young then) has brought us here.
