Insurrection fallout

Slight digression: wasn't there considerable evidence to prosecute Matt Gaetz on pedophilia and related charges?

 

I've seen nothing but smoking guns for the last six years, but almost no GOP consequences.  Filmed confessions are shrugged off in less than a news cycle. Prosecution teams resign in frustration. Republicans who would normally feel shame realize they don't have to. 

 

Again, Jan 6 was the ugliest and most visible, but Trump caught on phone leaning on state GOP officials to find him votes by any means necessary was unambigious insurrection. Should have been enough by itself.

the problem is that the republicans en masse are blocking any consequences for these people.    the law and order party has decided they are not subject to any laws

And having assumed that power, what do they want for America?

 

Honestly. They provide cover for the upper 1% but I don't know what their vision is for the American people.

I makes you wonder just how many things do get covered up.

I think they see an ideological battle with the Left. In some cases it's sincere. But in most cases it's low-hanging fruit for political fundraising. Fear of Socialism isn't the same as having public policy positions.

 

Wait. That's it. They just want to get rid of the word "public."
