Nebraska GOP is planning to censure him because he rejects its 'weird worship' of Trump
"You are welcome to censure me," Sasse said in the video. "But let's be clear about why this is happening. It's because I still believe, as you used to, that politics isn't about the weird worship of one dude."
Sasse first took office in 2015 and handily won his reelection campaign in 2020 with more than 67% of the vote. Trump also won the state, but his margin was lower, coming in at 58%.
Sasse said the reason he had more support in his home state than the former president was because "Nebraskans aren't rage addicts."
"Personality cults aren't conservative. Conspiracy theories aren't conservative. Lying that election has been stolen - it's not conservative," Sasse said.
It is ironic that people are angry about Sasse telling the truth about a chronic liar, and corrupt politician.
The GOP is definitely in trouble if this is the face of its supporters. It is amazing how the supporters of Romney etal morphed into Trump conspiracy drones in 4 -8 years?

I have a friend from Utah who is constantly pissed at Romney and calling him a fake Republican. I dont get it.
Well apparently only real Republicans accept lies and conspiracy theories without question... :-)
It is going to be hard for the GOP to win if they stay in their world of fear, paranoia and delusion.
The problem is that Trumpism works. Republicans hold lots of state houses, are able to enact enough congress people to successfully pursue their negative agenda, and get lots of votes for president. Now that he is no longer in the news, I expect Trump's popularity to bounce back. Within weeks or months, I expect to see news stories about how he is polling better as an ex-president than he ever did as president.
Republicans are out now, but that means it is Democrats who will have to make the hard decisions, the decisions which both hurt and help, the decisions Republicans shrink away from, except blaming Democrats for making them. In two years, Republicans almost certainly will resume control of one of the two houses of Congress, and they Hillary hearings will resume, and the Hunter hearings will start, driving down presidential polling numbers. The outlook remains bleak.
