There is a lot Republicans need to do to. Hawley, Cruz, and others need to be kicked out of Congress and the Republican Party. The leaders need to be a lot more open and honest about what is happening and why it needs to stop.
McConnell had a great speech right as the insurrection was kicking off but that is only a starting point for the Republican Party coming to grips with reality.
Maybe I’m wrong but I think Kepler and I are on the same page with their being brainwashers and the brainwashed. The former need to be eradicated but the latter need some sort of education or therapy.
McConnel may have had a great speech, but it was 4 years late. None of this came at any surprise- dumpy projected this behavior back in 2016, and his worshipers were ready to go to war back then. Had he lost, this would have happened back then. Secretary Clinton pointed that out, the news pointed that out, this board pointed that out.
McConnel ignored that so that he could have power. He then ignored the clear problem with Russia and vladdy, he ignored the clear violations with dumpy's companies, he ignored the security risk, and he VERY ignored the racists reply from Charlottesville. This was long time coming, and was fully supported by McConnel and the entire racist party for 4 years.
The fact that it took an assault on the capitol building to actually change his public tone just shows the kind of coward he is. Just as are the rest of the racist party.
The racists actually do need a revolution in their party. The greedy people have been using the actual racists to line their pockets for 30 years now. Few have actual regret, too. I'm ashamed that Steve Ross's name are still on buildings here at Michigan, as all of that greed and money has been on the backs of fooling actual racists to elect other greedy people to cut taxes and reduce protections that help real people.
Drew- these people have used YOU for the same reasons. The gun support rallying cry just vilified Democrats at every single turn. The end result is that you voted for them consistently up until now. And they got their tax cuts at the expense of you- smart gun regulations would have reduced mass murders, but instead there's far more support to abolish the 2nd thanks to how mass shootings as well as the armed assault on the capitol building. Your support of them may end your ability to own arms.
Anti abortionists are the same- I don't see the rich caring at all about abortion. But it's an easy rallying cry to get people to vote for their power. They then pass things that will clearly be shot down by judges, including conservative ones- and then decry that as being evil. Just to get more people angry and more voters for them.
The big difference between guns and abortion- there's money to be made selling guns.
McConnel is a coward. We've known that for way longer than 4 years now, and his speech just emphasizes that.
