The Republican strategy is to grind all of government to a halt so they can crow about Democrat incompetence. At the same time grinding government to a halt punishes all of the people.  Everyone suffers from the Republican scorched earth approach.

At some point the American people must stop electing/reelecting people who embrace such a destructive approach...that is, Americans have got to stop electing/reelecting Republicans or in other cases just allowing it to happen.

@PixxburghGirl @TonyStark And they want to con people into donating money. That’s not a platform but it’s one of their goals.

@TonyStark I no longer think of national Republicans as a political party with a legitimate agenda. They may one day return to being a political party. But now they are similar to mobsters who rule through intimidation, lies and violence. In my opinion, Jan. 6th was the date the illusion fully collapsed and today's Republicans showed who they really are.

@TonyStark
The most important thing to the Republican Party right now is to be loyal beyond comprehension to a failed one-term president and Trumpism. That's it. They have no policy or platform beyond that.

@TonyStark
Here's another one from Illinois.

Let's make sure all of these attempts to overthrow our democracy and install a white supremacist theocracy do not get swept under the rug. These people aren't just ignorant, they're dangerous. There must be consequences for their actions.

Don't let anyone else decide what your party is called! I remember this as far back as the Bush II years. Republican is an adjective, Democratic is an adjective. Democrat is not.

I know @TonyStark has talked about this before to the instance.

What's in an adjective? 'Democrat Party' label on the rise:

@QueenRamonda There are tons of studies that all prove the same thing:

@QueenRamonda This is gut-wrenching for so many reasons. In addition to the accidental death and the need for gun safety reform, it's upsetting that so many people passed by when they saw a kid trying to flag them down. It does get complicated when people don't feel safe stopping, and when they don't trust police. I don't know how it is everywhere, but 911 dispatchers here ask if you need fire, EMS, or police. Asking for EMS might be a better idea if police are untrustworthy. Then again, people wouldn't know which to ask for if they don't feel safe stopping to talk to someone who's trying to flag them down. I don't know, I'm probably rambling at this point, but it just upsets me that people ignored someone in distress.

@DarkAvenger @TonyStark The costumes aren’t nearly as good. Also, everyone I know who likes comics and sci-fi wears a mask unlike these fools.

My TV was last on C-SPAN (I'm sure this is a great surprise to everyone who knows me) when I turned it on yesterday and I had to see it for a minute before I grabbed my Roku remote to watch something else. I don't even know what backbencher I saw yelling yesterday evening, but it wasn't good. The sooner this party is driven far away from any power, the better. Being out of the White House, in a bare 50/50 without the VP in the Senate minority, and down 10 votes in the House is way too slim.

@TonyStark
If it walks like a duck, etc.

It's definitely a cult.

@TonyStark I just can't get over the fact that Evangelicals are so brainwashed and hateful that they ignore their own book. It's not supposed to be "don't worship false idols... unless they give you the tax breaks and judges you like." Somewhere along the way they became what they claimed to be against when they started. It happened before trump, but now it's too obvious to ignore.

@TonyStark It's like "comic con" for racist white supremacists. 🤦‍♂️ Disgusted that is happening in America.

@TonyStark Don't most of them claim to be Christians? I'm not but I seem to remember a bible story about a golden calf. Anyone else? 🐮​

@TonyStark Their party is the Trump party. The ones who don’t think he’s still the party better wake up fast.

I guess one by one, anyone who wants a political future in reality is going to have to admit reality.
