I think the answer is they weren't brought up - they were bought up with money (or something worse) and/or power. When you have men like McConnell, McCarthy, even Lindsey and the others say and know the right thing and have them flip 180 two days later, you know they've been threatened and/or bought.
Howard, I don't necessarily think they were "brought up" to be like that. I think it was a process over time as they surrendered without a whimper the will to fight for what is morally right, versus what is right for the Old Convicted Felon.
From my perspective, I have worked for and with people who are dishonest, unethical and lack integrity. They support what benefits them and will throw under the bus anyone who might be a threat.
After Lincoln keep the Union together in 1865, money took over the progressive Party of Lincoln beginning in the late 1800's and reaching a pinnacle now with the 'Trump/Musk' presidency and the billionaires club in charge. Our tradition of democracy is in danger. Democrats and a few standup Republicans have their work cut out for them in 2026 and beyond. Stay true to one's principles and work to save our democracy is all we can do.
i honestly don't understand how these scummy republicans were brought up to be such disgusting people.

Thank God none of them went into public service.
