Why should anyone be surprised? Do Utahns have memories of goldfish? He’s Republican. As much as Cox has tried to distance himself from Trump, he can’t quit him because doing so would mean ending up like Cheney, Kinzinger, and Romney. As much as some people want to convince themselves otherwise, the GOP is a fascist cult of personality. All that matters is fealty to Trump. It’s nothing like the Democratic Party, where party leaders and a chunk of the electorate are about to throw a wildly successful president overboard because he’s unable to campaign anymore. In America, we have one fascist cult of personality, a reactionary party by international standards and a moderate democratic party, very conservative by international standards.
Not so much throwing overboard, more like taking away the keys.
Yeah, looked like Cox might have had the conviction to hold out but he caved to the cult. His political career is more important than his soul.
