All these idiots need to do is work with democrats.

Form a coalition beneficial to all. But nope they ain’t ever gonna do it. But, if they did it would get them out from under the thumb of their crazy Maga members. I ask myself why they just don’t divorce themselves from it. Cause they are freaking cowards. Every last one of them.

So, here the country sits. The crazies holding the reins.

1. That's heresy!

2. Yup

They could probably get a lot of what they want (no new taxes or major increases to spending for stuff they don't like) if they struck a deal with moderate Democrats.

Then again, the MAGA extremists would then put a big ole target on their back then.

3. They don't want to work. They want to rule. Work requires thought.

That's too hard for them.

They just want to rage tweet and emote.

They're like slugs, they're only going to crawl and excrete slime on things.

The crazies are not holding anything.

It's the old FUD.* Nobody should be surprised.

The greater threat are the people who bought it.

4. Bipartisanship brings failure.

Tried many times at great cost.

7. that may work in the senate

But in the House the districts are now so gerrymandered that the vast majority of reps on both sides have no political motivation to work across the aisle. For most GOP representatives their only political threat is being primaried from the right because they didn't pass the MAGA purity test.
