So constituents really don't matter.

The gop right this very moment is trying to halt or stall this covid bill by any means necessary, a bill that is crucial for so many in dire straits. Why is that acceptable to anyone?

Yet their fans do not care.

are accomplices to inhumane treatment to Americans. This is not right, we should never let them get away with this. Call those who are inflicting this pain and anguish on us everyday. This situation our situations are not a joke. Damn those fascists.

“The salient fact of American politics is that there are fifty to seventy million voters each of whom will volunteer to live, with his family, in a cardboard box under an overpass, and cook sparrows on an old curtain rod, if someone would only guarantee that the black, gay, Hispanic, liberal, whatever, in the next box over doesn’t even have a curtain rod, or a sparrow to put on it.”

The entire strategy of the GOP to regain power is to insure the government fails and people suffer.

They have truly sold their souls for power.

That gives them grievances and their leaders point them at their chosen scapegoats. Rinse and repeat.
