The junior tea party

For 100+ years, Republicans have been running against those scarey and dangerous Marxists and Socialists. I'm so tired of it. Most people don't evebn know what is Marxism andbSocialism, much less the difference between the two. So I guess their fear-mongering will now switch from Moslems to reds and pinkos. Their stupidity disgusts me.

"combat the “evil” of socialism and Marxism"

these are the people who will make our laws, run the country, speak for the people...

...there's a full selection of online games. You can even stream your sessions.

If you're going to use Congress as your high-fantasy LARP, can you at least bring your real, live dragons? That would have the saving grace of being cool.

Not metaphorical ones, mind you. Only scaly beasties like Drogon or Vermithrax or Smaug qualify.

remember, they do it WELL, do NOT ignore.

You assholes want to see Marxism and lack of freedom? Try looking in the mirror, you brain-dead fuckwits.

white nationalist like the overwhelmingly male Freedom Caucus -- but separate and come for battle. The rhetoric's all anti-Democratic now, but!

Setting: An increasingly fascistic Republican Party that, like all RW authoritarian movements, is inimical to women's rights. They've been running women out of power, cutting their women members in the house in half in 2018 (to 13!).

The GOP congress has become such a hostile workplace for women that some of the 13 house survivors angrily spoke out and refused to run for reelection for that reason. That was an emergency for a party caught with its dick out in its war on women, and McConnell and McCarthy had to tuck them back in long enough to rustle up some women to run for office.

These freshmen may be some of those or possibly survivors of battles with local GOP powers. Just how this plays out will be interesting. Can McConnell and McCarthy make caucuses packed with corrupt authoritarian white males act like kinder and gentler conservatives toward yet more castrating females invading their territory? Everyone angry these days? Presumably there'll be a show of unity to begin...

And then of course there's also the issue of whether even more very noisy RW extremists is really what the party needs. Having been shown by "the squad" how effective, and effectively free, Twitter exchanges are for getting attention, they promise a whole session of their own Twitter Slurpy-slingings.

So I assume we can look forward to their support in passing a new stimulus package?

This seems like a strange statement from the party that has condemned so many small businesses to death due to lack of relief funds.
