Republicans hate America 5: Speaker Shutdown Solipsism

As we all know Republicans view Government as a mechanism to harm as many of those people as possible.  Government is not a positive good in their minds but, a powerful tool which must be weaponized by Republicans to immiserate the lives of the downtrodden and afflict the afflicted. 

But, Republicans since Nixon knew the way to do this was The Madman Theory; in which Tricky Dick would try to convince overseas adversaries that Nixon was a volatile pyscho and irrational lunatic so they'd better not provoke him.  Modern Republicans have simply adopted this and applied the lessons learned abroad at home.

Of course, the American conservative movement has been stewing in noxious rightwing agitprop for 50 years so the useful idiot Republican voters are no longer merely the foot soliders of the Reactionary movement to destroy the United States and replace it with a Fascist NeoConfederate simulacrum of America but, are know the leaders both philosophically and politically.

In reality, Republicans are domestic abusers who always, always, always couch their abuse of America in the framing of Look what you made me do.  Thus, it should be of little surprise that Republicans, Rightwing Media, and Squeaker McCarthy himself Blame the Demmycrats! 

Conservatives know to blame "Congress" or
the Democrats for Republican Actions
"Do I regret the Democrats playing games with Jan. 6?  Yes,What they did to this institution, what they did to this building, was so wrong. I think today was a political decision by the Democrats, and I think the things they have done in the past hurt the institution. My fear is the institution fell today.”  - Kevin should be "institutionalized".

What a mendacious scumbag.  That Squeaker McCarthy conspired to throw a last-minute CR at the Democratic Party with the intention and expectation they would vote it down so he could Blame the Demmycrats! for the Government Shutdown and then when Hakeem Jeffries got the entire Democratic House to vote yes (save for Illinois Congressman Mike Quigley who just so happens to represent Ukrainian Village in Chicago) and after the Democrats voted in support of the CR, Qevin McCarthy went on the Sunday Talk Shows to Blame the Demmycrats! is stupid and beyond shamless and into the realm of quixotic idiocy.

And even before this McCarthy proved himself an untrustworthy scoundrel having just this year betrayed the debt ceiling limit deal with President Biden.  But, the idea that the Democratic Party owed it to Qevin McCarthy and the Institution to save him from Republican Perfidy after months, if not years of his despicable behavior, including but not limited to the Benghazi bullshit, his last 10 months of inept and villainous Speakership, and his FUCKING WHITE-WASHING of the Jan6th Insurrection is the peak of Both Sides Do It (but, the Democrats are worse) Corporate Media coverage.  

And the Democrats didn't say one word during the Republican Speaker Fight.  They let the American-Hating Republicans make the both sides of the argument for why McCarthy along with every other Republican Representative is terrible.  The Democratic Party is expected to be the adults in the room, even as McCarthy insults and blames them for everything and are thus expected to save him from his own actions and the actions of his Party. 

But, understand this is only going to get worse because the Republican Party doesn't "govern" especially not for the betterment of the American People.  No, the Republican Party is a fascist cabal whose job is too cut taxes and regulation on the Rich and Corporate Power and to inculcate hatred and violence towards minorities, immigrants, the LGBTQ community, liberals, teachers, non-christians and anyone else who stands in the way of the creation of the NeoConfederate Nation held aloft by the 3 legs of White Power, Fundamentalist religion, and Corporate Hegemony.
