Tonight's debate made it clear the GOP think they can just go back to bullshit as usual.
They're dodging the metal detectors that were just installed.
I don't think they get it yet. They tried to get their colleagues killed, and their colleagues are in the majority now.
I mean, it's hardly surprising. Republicans have pushed every line of decency and faced no consequences so far. Why should this be any different?
I don't think they watched the DOJ briefing today. I don't think they appreciate how many fundraisers are seeking to detach.
Sheldon Adelson died today, which feels a bit too on the nose. He was a major GOP donor. He was what the right alleges George Soros to be, and now he's gone.
The remaining Koch brother doesn't want to be tied to this insurrection bullshit, either.
The fact Milo has never once had a single moment of self-reflection or inclination to change his ways is why you don't go out of your way to "save" the cultists.
They don't want it.
Milo honestly could have built a redemption narrative.
Really! Apologies. Repentance. A book of self-reflection.
Even without being sincere he could have rebuilt a reputation off the back of the disgraced one and returned to making bank.
It really hasn't sunk in that Trump's mob was coming to kill *Congress.*
I'm pretty sure there are Republicans who are brushing this off because they're convinced this was no threat to their own lives.
These people are incredibly stupid.
They're still convinced they can somehow harness a voter base that has become little more than a cult devoted to one man. They think one of them will be the heir to Trump.
That occured to me, too. The MAGA idiots might know Pelosi or McConnell, maybe Cruz ... but they couldn't pick any other member of Congress out of a lineup if you paid them.
