Why Republicans are never satisfied

[liberalmediaaddict]

4 years ago they controlled the White House and Congress. And yet they still acted like victims and were angrier than ever. They had all the power but did nothing with it. And as a result lost it all in 2020.

And now they're obsessed with getting back into power even though they have no agenda except to follow Trump and try to own the libs.

The reason the GOP is never happy even when they win is they don't believe their should be an opposition party especially not the socialist Democrats. If we win an election it can only be because of fraud or illegal voting.

Republicans will never be satisfied living in a country where they can potentially lose power. They want an Autocracy where elections are mere formalities if they're held at all. Like in Putin’s Russia.

People who hope for a return to a healthy 2 party system are delusional. The Republican Party was never that healthy to begin with and since Obama got elected twice they've passed the point of no return. The fight of our lifetime is to continue to try to block them at every turn from achieving their goal.

1. They should be real happy

Over all the laws that red states are getting away with enacting lately strangling gay rights, voting rights, abortion rights, protesters’ rights .... in my view, they are getting what they want every day.

5. A lot of the voter suppression bills are being meant with legal challenges and will not stand

In the courts. At least the most egregious parts will be struck down

2. They can own the Libs all they want. Democrats and Independents

will own them for our Liberals.

3. Addicts are never satisfied

Republicans are addicted to power. The more they have, the more they want--and they won't rest until either they or the American republic are destroyed. They're losers because they're dead inside: no conscience, no heart, and no soul, which compels them to kill everything around them. Pathetic.

4. Hear, hear!

6. Correct! Still chasing the high they get when they win a big election.

Especially when they win by cheating

11. Sums it up

quite nicely. An entire political party motivated by misanthropy and spite.

7. Looking at history, I believe it will get better, but it's a decade or more away. and yes, we need

To stay woke, volunteer and donate as much as we possibly can.

Many feel the qgop is in the throws of death, not a new beginning...I agree

8. The entire republiTHUG party needs to be RICO'ed out as a criminal enterprise, that's what they are

acting like. I particularly thinking of the hundreds of millions of dollars that rump pocketed for his own use, using something akin to fraud to entice millions more from his followers in a scam that allowed recurring withdrawals to occur from the bank accounts of his stupid followers (kind of serves them right too, if you ask me). Even the FEC (Fed. Election Committee) said that these recurring payments was a scam and that this shouldn't be allowed.

I still wonder to this day what in the world republicans went over to Russia and met w/ unsavory characters for some reason...those reason(s) and notes/etc. were NEVER released. These republican traitors were caught by the cameras too. So, they can't claim that the media/us/etc. are mistaken, just like josh 'overbite' hawley is now claiming w/ his clenched fist seemingly to encourage the 1/6/21 insurrectionists.

Traitors all. 14th Amendment them all. No more pussy footing, since they wouldn't give anyone else the benefit of the doubt if and should something negative (in their small minds) happens. RepubliTHUGS will jump through hoops to try and nail innocent victims w/, e.g., the stupid repetitive hearings on Benghaze that they tried numerous times to nail HRC.

9. extreme self loathing

10. We'll have a healthy two-party system again.

Traditional Liberals vs. Social Democrats.

It'll take a long, long time to get there though.

And please don't say that the Republicans did nothing when they had all the power. They transformed out tax system in ways that will take decades to unravel. They trashed net neutrality. They wrecked our immigration system. They started - and lost - a trade war. They sabotaged our pandemic response infrastructure just before a pandemic hit.

Let's be fair to them. They did some things.

[liberalmediaaddict]

14. That's true

They did an amazing amount of damage in the 2 short years where they controlled everything and sent the country back by decades.
Meant to say they did nothing positive or new. Passing tax cuts for the wealthy isn't exactly a bold new idea. They've been running the same governing playbook since 1981. 40 years of Reaganomics and culture wars.

[FakeNoose]

15. Yes - behind the curtain the Repukes did a lot of evil

Every chance they got, they threw the blame on Democrats but it was all deflection.

If Chump had really gotten 4 more years (shudder), there's no way the country could have survived.

[Wounded Bear]

12. They want more...

Funny how you can find germs of universal truth in classic movies.

[genxlib]

13. I wouldn't say they did nothing with the power

Stacking the courts and tax cuts to name a few of the big ones.

But you are right that they should have been happier doing it.

It just speaks to the fact that faux outrage is there fuel. They can’t live without it even when they are on top.
