It took literally no courage to stand up to Trump. The media treated these turncoats as heroes, they were paid by democrat donors. It was personally enriching for Republicans to go against the will of those who elected them. Democrats made heroes of people they spent 15 years calling war mongers and war criminals. The cocks of Bush Jr, Paul Ryan, John Bolton, and John McCain were given the Stormy Daniel's treatment.B.See » 25 Oct 2021, 3:15 am » wrote: ↑ Yes, when Republicans stood up to Trump they were INDEED "courageous and brave heroes of the Republic." Because they were standing up to fascism, authoritarianism, lies, disinformation, science denial, hate based ideologies, and an attempted COUP... to name just a few.
As for these so-called "moderate" democrats, I believe they have no interest in reaching a workable and reasonable deal that will assure the passage of a package that contains many benefits to AMERICANS.
AND they have also opposed the much needed voting rights bill, even as Republicans work to undermine and subvert the vote in GOP dominated states.
Time will tell, but I believe they are "democrats" in name only, completely beholden to right winged interested and financially aligned with right winged entities determined to stall and undermine ANY progress.
