Maybe it is not about what they expected but about how they think, literally. I believe there really is a difference between republican-oriented and democratic-oriented brains. It's a matter of what part of your brain takes over and how it does or doesn't connect to other areas. It is similar to a default setting on a computer.

Thom's history on even one point is alarming, but as a whole they are shocking. It is a pathology.  More evidence is they had the perfect opportunity to dump Trump (a known sociopath and grifter). Yet when they reached that fork in the road, their "default setting" took over.

We must move into the future by getting the non-affiliated voters to join us. The Earth itself is hanging in the balance. I have some compassion for really young Republicans, but the old ones witnessed each event Thom spoke about. This column is a great explanation of why the chickens have come home to roost. It is not about retribution, it's about contribution. Our default setting will point us toward that new day.
