Good.Being a Republican in DC right now must be a nightmare.
With any luck, the Republicans will eat each other and completely die out, and then we can focus on the next threat: the DemocratsI know people won't believe me, but I think in the long run what happened with Trump is really going to hurt the GOP.
The one thing I always knew about Republicans was they were always very loyal to the party compared to Democrats, who were always more picky when it came to how they voted. A Democrat may not like a candidate, so they stay home, but someone from the GOP would vote for a Republican just because it's what was expected, even if they hated him. A lot of this was because the GOP ideals were the top of the cult of personality. You were voting for the party, not the person.
Now, the GOP has allowed Trump to circumvent the top of the pyramid. They no longer worship the ideals of the GOP, but instead Trump himself, and once he is gone there is going to be a depressive force that is going to weaken a lot of Republican voter enthusiasm. Georgia proved that, with the Republicans underperforming in many counties.
This does not mean we can be complacent though. We have a lot to do for the next two years.
This. The clock will be ticking, and the midterms always go against whoever won the presidency 2 years prior.This does not mean we can be complacent though. We have a lot to do for the next two years.
Frankly, letting them become a real mob burning down the Capitol might make some eyes open.This might get bad guys. They have stormed all the way to the balconies and the doors. There isn't enough police to stop them.
I was thinking that too. As much as I have enjoyed the irony of a guy carrying a thin blue line flag knocking over a bunch of police, I can't help but notice the lack of tear gas, rubber bullets, and riot armor. Did they just not expect this to happen?Also, if those were armed black men, they 'd all be shot by now.
Let's just... Hope? I guess?.... That we don't get the American Guy FawkesWhere is the American Kevin Vickers?
Pelosi and DC Mayor have requested them to the Hill already, per NBC.Call up the National Guard. Now.
And as I posted in the other thread, the request was denied.Pelosi and DC Mayor have requested them to the Hill already, per NBC.

Well, among other reasons too.This is the reason why DC should have Statehood. For this exact reason.
Oh, we believe you.I know people won't believe me, but I think in the long run what happened with Trump is really going to hurt the GOP.
