Not so simple, is it? Say you hold an R seat, in any given legislature. Polls, and reality, have shown you, over and over again, that to speak against Trump gets you thrown out on your ass.

Now where are you? What power to you have to make change, affect policy? You're mud. Better to hang in and try to effect change from within. Better than nothing?

This shit should have been cut off in 2015, with a guillotine. Past that, already too late.
