WTF GQP?

 

What gives with the Republican obstructionism? They refuse to compromise. Coming close to middle-ground is for them equal to utter defeat. So, if they are not willing to make a deal that will improve the security of the nation and directly benefit the lives of many of their constituents, what is their motivation?

Apparently taking a cue from Mrs Reagan, ‘Just say ‘No!’ say the GOP to basically anything and everything proposed in the House and the Senate. COVID relief? NO! Infrastructure? NO! Insurrection Commission? NO! For the People Act? NO!

How can they be against everything and for nothing apart from over-turning the 2020 election, undermining the election system and with it the foundations of the

Constitutional system?

For some, like Mitch, it appears to be a straight power-play.The appointments to the SCOTUS was a huge power-play.

So, sure, a power-play for some. For others, it’s the revelation of a personal sociopathic proclivity. It’s narcissism inspired by the Orange narcissist, for a good many of the GQP/MAGA cultists. However, there must be a common ground where all these various groups can cohabit. Right?

That over-lap on the GOP Venn diagram is labeled ‘Socialism!’ (cue: SFX scary noises) 

The GOP can somehow sell their voters on the notion that by saying ‘No!’, they’re saving the nation from ‘Socialism!’. (cue: SFX scary noises)

All that stuff in the infrastructure bill about up-grading WiFi, bringing the USA up to cyber-code, (so to speak) and coming abreast with the rest of the world, can be decried by the GQP as ‘Big Brother’ Bill Gates coming to micro-chip your soul and sell it to George Soros.

The MAGA-mutts believe that hokum. They believe to their souls that Stalinist Gulags run by the Finns (or Al-Qaeda) are right around the corner. Commies coming out of the woodwork to make you FaceBook and TikTok against your will. Vegan Lesbians will ban red meat and force feed you quinoa after your mandated yoga session.

A Socialist hell on earth. (cue: SFX scary noises)

And only ‘god’ or his Orange Persona on earth can save the nation from 5G damnation. To the rescue come the GQP; brandishing their Trump flags and giving fisted salutes. They stand as bulwarks to the scourge of ‘Socialism!’ (cue: SFX scary noises)

Gaetz, Taylor-Greene, Johnson, Kennedy (no, not that one...) Ted Cruz, McConnell, McCarthy, Cotton, Rubio, Boebert, and all, stand shoulder to shoulder, maskless and...

Gack!

What a ghastly team of bottom-feeders and mouth-breathers. What the feck gives with the GOP?

To borrow a phrase, ‘Just say, No!’

Say ‘No!’ to the GOP.
