The word you're looking for is "demagogue"
The GOP is a personalist party, where failure to support Trump means you no longer have a place in the party
Very much hope there are strong anti-Trump candidates in NC next year, in what could be a wave election

Just in: Texas' former solicitor general has left the AG's office amid sex misconduct allegations and a lawsuit outlining his apparent, months of detailed disclosures to colleagues about his sexual obsession with watching an asteroid anally rape the agency's No. 2 attorney in front of his kids.

I just learned my childhood librarian has passed away and I'm feeling a little sad about it. I think I'll go re-read "Dogsbody" in her honor this weekend.

Alito Spoke With Trump not long before Mr. Trump’s lawyers asked the Supreme Court to delay his sentencing following his conviction in New York in a case arising from hush money payments. @adamliptak.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/01/08/u...
Alito Spoke With Trump Shortly Before Supreme Court Filing
The justice said that the call was a job reference for one of his former clerks and that the request to stay the president-elect’s sentencing did not come up.

This is intentional, calculated erasure - not a “coincidence”. #txlege
