katieIt blows my mind that this is the state of politics in the US. "That emphasis on violence corresponds with something else on display at this year’s CPAC: how completely the Republican Party now depends on a false narrative constructed out of lies." https://open.substack.com/pub/heathercoxrichardson/p/march-6-2023?r=1st26h&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email.

The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) met in Washington, D.C., over the weekend, sparking speculation over the 2024 Republican presidential field. Hard-right figures like Donald Trump and his loyalists Mike Lindell, the MyPillow entrepreneur, and Kari Lake, who lost the 2022 race for Arizona governor, attended, along with House Judiciary Committee chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) and right-wing media figure Steve Bannon, but many of those testing the 2024 presidential waters gave it a miss.
@MeidasTouch What's the GOP get from this? There has to be a pay off right? Do the insurrectionists see this as a win? Does McCarthy see this as a way to govern? #GOPisajoke
"Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo points out that Pelosi ran the House with virtually the same margin the Republicans have now and yet managed to hold her caucus together tightly enough to pass a slate of legislation that rivaled those of the Great Society and the New Deal.

The Republicans won a narrow majority in the House of Representatives in 2022—aided by gerrymandering and new laws that made it harder to vote—but they remain unable to come together to elect a speaker. In three ballots yesterday, Republican leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) could not muster a majority of the House to back him, as a group of 20 far-right Republicans are backing their own choices. The saga continued today with three more ballots; McCarthy still came up short.

Raskin notes on CBS that Republicans had an opportunity to convict Trump after his second impeachment and prevent him from running for office, but they didn't, and now "he may destroy their party"
This is the #GOPHypocrisy at full speed. The same hypocrisy with which they now tell you that they don't like #Trump when they were all holding his water until now.
Same LIARS who are focused on taking your #SocialSecurity #ReproductiveRights and the rights of minorities including #TransKids and #LGBQ+ communities.
They have showed us who they are, so don't believe their lies.
