The coup that Trump unleashed on the US has turned inward. Ironically the “anarchists” that Trump accused those of us opposing him of being are on display in the GOP circus around #KevinMcCarthy. And by anarchism he did not mean the philosophy but chaos 👇🏽 h/t @rerutled

Lawmakers in the most powerful country in the world are effectively on pause:

This is the behaviour of a “failed” state. #KevinMcCarthy

Remember that the Republicans won a majority in the House if Representatives in elections held just months after the Supreme Court overturned #RoeVsWade—a goal they had been working on for 50yrs.

That they won is itself a disgrace.

They diminished the disaster that the destruction of #RoeVsWade by claiming that inflation and the economy were bigger concerns than abortion.

And yet here they are not giving a fuck about inflation or the economy or anything really other than narcissistic chaos. #KevinMcCarthy

And much like the chaos that the Republicans fueled at the height of the pandemic with their “freedom” to not mask or be vaccinated etc, they are harming all of us.

We can laugh and point with schadenfreude but their chaos is not limited to their party.

Where else can the party that advocated “alternative facts” go?

Where else can the party that advocated “my body my choice” not as the reproductive rights mantra but as “I can get Covid if I want to” go?

How low is too low for the party of white supremacy, misogyny, bigotry?
