Electing Republicans has Consequences

“When you vote, you are exercising political authority, you're using force. And force, my friends, is violence. The supreme authority from which all other authorities are derived.” ― Robert A. Heinlein, Starship Troopers

As we sit watching the Republican controlled US House of Representatives flail about over the Speaker of the House vote, it's important to note that the Republican Party has no intention of legislating when they finally figure out the perfunctory first steps of Congress.

Understand the goal of the Republican Party is to "drown the US government in a bathtub".  They don't want to reform the US government they want to replace it.

Towards that goal of destroying the functioning administrative state is making it look like Democracy and the functionality of the institutions have failed.  We see this as today we entertain the 13th vote for Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy having failed to garner sufficient support in the previous 12 and having received less votes than Hakeem Jeffries in 11 of the 12 votes.  But, by grinding the gears of the administrative state to a halt, as they are right now, Republicans and Rightwingers can point and shout See Government Doesn't Work!

For decades the pliant Coprorate media has been content to go along with the two pillars of the Rightwing  Narrative about Government; 1) the Government et al is broken and doesn't function and can't help you, thus lumping in the Democratic Party which is trying to keep government working with the Republican saboteurs actively undermining the government and 2) the Republican Party is being held hostage by the extreme fringe and a few wacko members.  

In reality this framing, has allowed Republicans to gain outsized political power by depressing the vote and turning Generation X into too cool to vote cynics and allowed Republicans to vote en masse to enact their extremist ideology while having a few of the more outwardly outlandish members act as lightning rods absorbing the blame.  The truth is every Republican is a full-blown MAGA Fascist, the few who weren't;  like Adam Kinzinger, Liz Cheney, Peter Meijer weren't liberal they just were steady Republicans voting the exact same way as every other Republican.

At the same time the Corporate Media was giving cover to the Republican Party by repeating the rightwing claims of BothSides are too blame and Dysfunction in Congress is the fault of All those Bozos when it's been clear since Ronnie Raygun, Cheatin' Newt Gingrich, the Stolen 2000 Presidential election, the Tea Baggers of 2010 and ultimate expression of Republican values Donald John Traitor Trump that Republicans are saboteurs purposefully undermining the United States in order that the government powers will fall into their hands.

And what does this current crop of MAGAT Republicans plan to do with Congressional Power?  Why #OwntheLibs of course.  By blowing up pictures of Hunter Biden's penis, helping Russia conquer Ukraine, arresting Dr. Fauci for Covid (which is simultaneously nothing more than a Cold while also being BioTerrorism from China), and blaming President Biden for Afghanistan.  Additionally, the Republicans are going to attack the following;

The FBI is infested with soft on crime swamp creatures who ignore BLM and arrest peaceful conservatives.  The FBI is insufficiently MAGA it needs to be replaced with a Trumpstapho or Trumpstazi.

The Biden IRS is hiring 87,000 agents to arrest small business owners for cheating on their taxes (which everyone does).  Of course, Traitor Tump requesting the IRS be used his political enemies is immaterial 

The Military is too woke and gay and couldn't beat Russia, even though Republicans wanted the Gay Woke US Military to aid Russia in conquering Ukraine.

There will be nothing substantially accomplished from the US House in 2023 or 2024 except for allowing the debt ceiling to collapse and then running with the Biden destroyed the economy at which point the Republicans will expect their co-conspirators in the compliant Corporate Media to run with the rightwing propaganda of blaming a Democratic President for financial destruction caused by Republican policies.

Because then the Republicans can steal the 2024 Presidential Election and get to work replacing the  Democratic Republic with their NeoConfederate Fascist Nation built upon oppression and intolerance and the subjugation of women, minorities, non-christians, and the rounding up and elimination of anyone who opposes MAGA Fascism.
