"So, the grassroots of people that can't afford to buy a steak and are struggling to make ends meet, they just got told by their representatives at an opulent $900-a-night hotel that, 'We hate you.'"

All with TFG's support. And his worshipers still don't get it.

I think they are about to find out that the overseeing of the female voter's body, the worshiping of high-capacity magazines, the obsessing over transgendered people, and the reading of the Bible as policy roadmap does not constitute the winning platform they thought it would.

This is what most Americans want:

1. Worry more about the working individual than the corporation.
2. Sane gun regulation
3. No one should obsess over how the neighbor gets off.

As a former teenager, father of teenagers, and sometimes boss of teenagers I can tell you that on average they have much better work ethics and competencies than your average Republican.

Most real mental patients are only a serious threat to themselves. And most see improvement given appropriate medication and therapy.

The average stay in a real mental health ward is around two to three weeks, long enough to see if you're responding to medication and therapy, but not long enough to make a revolt worthwhile. (If you really can't bear the hospital grub, you aren't above sharing, and you can afford it, ordering in is rarely an issue any more.)

These clowns know exactly what they're about---grift and setting scores with the (((globalists)))---and don't much care about the consequences.

Put bluntly, they're narcissists and sociopaths, the psychiatrist's despair. There is no pharmaceutical treatment for either condition, and therapy is rarely effective even if they'd agree to it, which few would. Therapy is for the weak and the woke, after all.

Clowns like this give the rest of the lunatics a bad name.

People with mental illnesses are actually more likely to be the *victims* of violence, not the perpetrators.

Neither party has a great track record over the past 40 years of helping the working class.

Hell, the Democrats recently not only killed a bill that would require federally-assisted chip manufacturers not to union-bust, they used Congress to kill a worker's strike threatened over a lack of paid time off, while the workers' employers posted record-breaking profits.

The Republicans might be worse, sure, but both parties have done their fair share of telling the peasants to eat cake.

When your only MO is "whatever the Democrats want, we're going to vote against it" then it stands to reason that any time you're in power, you're going to fall apart. We've seen it happen repeatedly. The GQP has zero ability to govern any more (if they ever did) because they no long have any understanding of what that means.

The Department of Weird Statistics tells me that the average age of the House is 58, and just about evenly split as you might imagine...but the average age of House LEADERSHIP is not. The oldest members of the House skew heavily Democrat, with more of them being in their 70s than their Republican counterparts.

Why does that matter? Because they're the ones who know how to get shiat done. You may argue all day long about old people being out of touch etc, and maybe that's right...but they've also got the experience and the governing savvy to know how things work domestically and internationally. When a batch of bratty kids come into Congress and want to change the world, without an anchor of senior people to tell them "it doesn't work that way, dear" then chaos is the result. Like now.

The bigots had the voting power in numbers, but the rich always had the true power in the party in terms of being able to get elected.

And before Trump, the former usually showed deference to the latter in being the public face of the party, even though they never really believed in the fiscal conservative nonsense. Since 2016, they realized that the fiscal stuff didn't matter at all, and they took over the political power to the chagrin of the rich.
