@driftglass you’re right as always. Trump, to his credit I guess, made it harder to look away from what Republicans really believe. Mike Johnson is worse than Jim Jordan but wears a suit, combs his hair, and those glasses must mean he’s smart, right? Most importantly, he can pretend to be normal. Not good.
@MattFerrel the overwhelming majority of Republicans voted against the wackos in their party.
It wasn't Trump but congressional Democrats voting as a bloc that amplified the voices of those extremists, requiring Republicans to set aside their preferences and seek approval of those ideologues.
It's not good, but it was the predictable outcome of the Democratic voting strategy, given the rules of the House.
@volkris oh, you’re one of those people who blames Democrats for the behavior of Republicans. Bye
@MattFerrel not at all!
I'm one of those people who say that if you vote a certain way, you should be blamed for the results of your votes.
