2. Repubs hate actual governing. Period.

They are nothing but bad cartoons.

3. The GOP is the Party of Stunts. It is all they have.

4. They're performers.

Everything they do is performative, it's all for show (to whip up their base) with no substance.

5. Trolling is not influencing. They're tools of donors who influence THEM to parrot donor propaganda.
