‘It’s embarrassing’: Republicans worry they have no achievements to run on in 2024
As I reflect on the state of the Republican party and its potential lack of achievements to run on in the upcoming 2024 elections, I can’t help but feel a sense of disappointment. The GOP has always prided itself on being the party of action and progress, but recent years have shown a stark departure from that reputation. It seems that the party has been more focused on rolling back women’s rights, burning or banning books, and preventing access to cheaper medication, rather than on enacting policies that benefit the American people.… Continue reading
Just the GOP trying to legislate the death of Democracy
It’s disheartening to see the Republican Party continuously undermine the very foundation of our democracy. They have made it abundantly clear that they do not believe in the principles of a democratic society. For years, they have openly declared that we are not a democracy, but a republic. While technically true, this argument is misleading and serves as a smokescreen for their anti-democratic agenda.
The Republican Party’s desire for power is palpable. They long for a system akin to Russia, where authoritarian rule reigns supreme. The comparisons to Hitler’s rise to power in Germany are not unwarranted.… Continue reading
The recent audio release of GOP lawmakers from Ohio and Michigan discussing their intention to ban transgender care for everyone is deeply concerning and further confirms what the trans community has known for a long time. The GOP’s endgame is not about protecting children or promoting the well-being of society; it is about inflicting pain and erasing the LGBTQ+ community.
Their true agenda is to create a society that enforces a Christofascist ideology, where personal freedoms and rights are stripped away from anyone who does not conform to their narrow-minded beliefs. This is not just about transgender individuals; it is about everyone’s rights and access to healthcare.… Continue reading
As I watched the first debate for the GOP candidates, I couldn’t help but feel like I was watching a circus performance. The moment when candidates were asked to raise their hands if they had ever been arrested was like a clown car crashing into a wall. Six out of the nine candidates proudly raised their hands, eliciting cheers and applause from the audience.
It’s ironic that the party that claims to be the champion of “law and order” is filled with individuals who have had brushes with the law. It’s a clear indication of the hypocrisy within the Republican party.… Continue reading

Sure. He said this immediately after the impeachment, and even said Trump was responsible… except he declined to hold Trump responsible.
You misunderstand McConnell’s grand plan. He’s using the courts he tricked Trump into assembling to fuck him at every turn (election results, his tax returns, now J6) while supporting traditional conservative principles (minor wins for religious rights, campaign finance, likely wins for guns and abortion in Corlett and Dobbs coming out this summer). And while the courts destroy him piece by piece, the J6 committee led by two McConnell Republicans exposes the real dirt behind him and leaves him with his pants down for the Federalist Society graduate DOJ to come and collect.… Continue reading

We’ve had a very good couple of years of getting things done in VA. The reason this election is so close is because the GOP culture war and fear mongering works on a lot more people than it should.
Apparently this is politics in America in 2021. If Party A hasn’t fixed every problem in the country/world since the last election vote for Party B. When Party B fails to fix everything vote for Party A again.
Then sit back and wonder why things continue to go to shit when we’re rapidly switching gears between very different policy agendas and strategies and there’s little continuity in government.… Continue reading
