But it's not just him, it's the entire party aggressively supporting him and everything he does.

> the entire party aggressively supporting him and everything he does.

That's untrue.

If you do some homework you will see Republican politicians and the Supreme Court disagreeing on a number of issues. Amongst Republican voters, his approval rating has been sliding and is now below 80% in most polls.

They passed one major piece of legislation since he took office and it was loaded with pork to get everyone onboard. I wouldn't call that aggressive. The Right is very fractured right now.
At least in part that's because they've stopped legislating. The executive now basically just does whatever it wants.
The right is fractured is several ways but there is one unifying value: unquestioning support for Trump
It's fractured as a consequence of its own actions, which all of its constituent members bear direct responsibility for.

Epstein cover up? Iran? COVID denialism? Complete disregard for rule of law? Accepting massive, direct bribes? Trying to control broadcast media?

That's all on the Republican party as a collective, who did absolutely nothing to resist it and everything to put him in power TWICE. TWICE.
