Ok so I'm sure this has been asked already but I want to hear from people who have answers other than "They are scared of Trump", "Trumps the leader and so they follow" "They have to keep Trump's base happy" "they want to get as much out of him as they can" "they are all soulless monsters" etc.

Does anyone have any real insight here about what could be going on with them? Trump's 'base' isn't that big compared to the entire voting population and a lot of them probably didn't vote often before Trump nor will they vote often after Trump. Some of them used to just be 'standard republican politicians '.

Most of them are educated and believe they have a love for our country. They have access to the facts. They know the facts. So what is driving them to remain silent or to file lawsuits they know are bogus or lie on Fox News? They've never done anything like this before so why are they doing it NOW?
