No they aren’t. Nothing is happening. I’m exhausted watching day in and day out criminals going unpunished, regulatory groups being more and more corrupt and having every article read like “we finally got em!” Nothing is changing for the better. It’s just political drama to keep people from burning this country down.
It’s exhausting. I’m exhausted. One of their goals is to wear us down until we just accept something that seems like a compromise just fire a moment of peace. And for fucks sake we could use one. But as shitty as things are, we’re a hell of a lot better off than just burning everything down and starting over.
The American people are the ones paying the consequences, not the GOP. Every stupid game they play is at the cost of ordinary peoples’ lives and well-being.
Lol as the article indicates, things are happening. Every election after Trump won the presidency has been the GOP losing. Midterms and even his 1st reelection campaign have been decent losses for the GOP. Things don’t seem like they will get better for them anytime soon, especially since they have almost not changed at all to the electoral feedback.
They are letting a twice impeached rapist run for president again while being embroiled in multiple legal battles including trying to overthrow our government.

Republican “leaders” could, in fact, do something. They simply choose not to. In almost all cases, they are paid not to, the corrupt human garbage that they are.
For instance, they could man up and tell Trump to shut his god damn mouth, and stop breaking the law, because these things are unacceptable. Yet they refuse to do so, and continue to provide cover for him.
And thus, as you predicted 8 years ago, the GOP continues to disintegrate.

I wasn’t referring to just Republicans. Our government is a disgrace… all of it.
“bOtH sIdEs”
That isn’t what I’m saying, and not even applicable to the conversation. To be clear, Republicans are far worse than Democrats. I’m saying that even the Democrats aren’t doing a good enough job. If you think otherwise then I don’t know what to tell you.
Sure, but they still have a house majority, control the Supreme Court (and a lot of judges in other courts). They basically still have all three branches of government in a stranglehold. That is far from seeing any serious consequences, and they will be able to fuck shit up for everybody for an indefinite time into the future.
This is the paradox of the Republican party, though. When they’re losing is when they’re winning. It’s a nihilistic apocalyptic group that thrives on the fears of people, much like a terrorist organization. Despite everything pointing to them being a diminishing minority, they’re able to control or paralyze much of federal and state governments, and they’re going to continue to do this for decades to come.
I want to see them suffer real consequences for their actions for the next several decades. I want them to genuflect in front of Americans and show actual remorse and work to repair all they’ve done.
I just want them to vanish, to go away with a whimper, to be considered by our grandchildren’s generation to be as laughably irrelevant and impotent as the Bull Moose party. Prosecution would be great, but honestly I’ll be happy enough with their oblivion.
I want him to become the joke that Nixon has become in Futurama. Only remembered for being an evil idiot
AROOOOOOOO
Nixon resigned in 1974 and the damage he caused to Republicans was overwhelmingly repaired by 1980 when Ronald Reagan swept into the Oval Office. Don’t get your hopes up even if Trump goes away - these bastards are relentless.
That will likely never happen; they view humility as weakness.
Yep this.
Real men don’t admit they were wrong /s
We’ve all been paying the price for years. Do they ever learn? No.
What they learn: There’s no consequences.
This article has been published daily for the last 7 years.
Except it was published a day ago. I don’t recall ever seeing one like it, no joke. You must be saying that all articles that mention any consequence to the GOP from every source on earth are all the same. Even if I were to accept that ridiculous concept, “daily for the last 7 years” sounds wrong af
At first I thought the author, Michael Cohen, was the Michael Cohen, which would have made for a very different article.
Imagine if an American publication the size of The Guardian had the guts to publish this article. There’s - gasp French! In there. Big words! Oh mercy, I do declare!
They wont. American corporate news is insufferably broken. All hail the conquering dollar.
Don’t get too excited, when it comes to domestic politics, they’re still all the same.
The Guardian is still a good newspaper in their factual reporting, especially as they’re still not paywalled, but their opinion pieces (comment is free) have been very click baity for years now.
It’s always best to take them with a large pinch of salt.
