You deserve it. Kevin McCarthy is a complete disgrace. He's massively stupid. Massively! And the fact that he was chosen to be the leader of the House Republicans is stunning. Looks like he's a coward as well.

Or so olde tyme common wisdom tells us. I guess he has to make the effort, because one side or the other running over their opposite numbers would most likely end with the GOP more or less dissolving.

Wait. What's wrong with that?

You can't have it both ways forever. Eventually, it will catchup to you if that's the game you play.

I'm not convinced this is the due date yet for Republicans who endorsed the insurrection, but their time is coming. Watching them squirm now is a nice bit of entertainment until that day.

You think suburbanites like insurrection?

Lindsey Graham was right. Elect Trump and you destroy the party. You make the rural, redneck base happy and lose the 20% of your party and all the corporate money. Corporations don’t like insurrection. Less than tax increases. Which sinks you. Placate the money and non-insane 30% of your voters and the religious nuts and Q idiots take their ball and go home. And potentially become violent which further increases your peril.

And we democrats? There will be no midterm advantage for you. 2022 will be 2018 on steroids. We’ve seen you endgame and will reject it.
