Behind the border mess: Open GOP rebellion against McConnell - SDF Chatter

> The Republican leader told POLITICO that his critics “had their shot” already. But conservatives are not done whacking him over the immigration-for-Ukraine aid implosion.

It baffles me how people see what happens among the Republican lawmakers and say, “yeah, that’s the kind of leadership I want to make my country great.” I mean, if you don’t agree with Democrats then don’t vote for them. But why keep voting for the same people who year after year show they have no interest in governing?

Fear. Of everything. Of America not being how it was when they were growing up. Conservative media have to constantly keep them terrified of imaginary shit so they’ll vote for the person who can “fix” it.

You think they take 5 minutes to wonder why the “caravan” appears like clockwork right around election time every few years and then disappears like magic?

Nah.

The best time to have lived in America was in the 50s as a white property owning man. Republicans fantasize over that period and want to regress us to get that back.
