Yep. This is the game now. Republicans are attacking themselves for working with Democrats.
And some people think this'll get better somehow.
Well if they fix the problem then they won't have anything to criticize Biden for
It Will get better IF after the 2024 elections the GOP will be left with a minority in both the houses, Congress and senate. At that point it will be only on the democrats to pass legislations, notwithstanding eventual characters like Sinema and Manchin.
Not to be outdone, now there is a comment attacking Democrat leadership for negotiating with Republicans. Jesus fucking christ, people.
They don't even know what's in the bill, it's the concept of creating a bill at all that they're mad at
OK has no foreign border, but they sure are xenophobic.
It's all white in OK
It isn't all white since America shoved half its indigenous population into Oklahoma.
But it's still mostly white.
America shoved half its indigenous population into Oklahoma.
The fact that the xenophobes are the ones that genocided the indigenous peoples of the land makes it so I can't tell if this whole political immigrant crisis is ironic or perfectly congruent.
Why can't I have a job where the only thing I have to do is refuse to do my job...
You can, just have to sell your soul and be a politician.
Choices, choices.
Remember, the GOP have already openly announced the strategy of "pounding the table" with the border issue, while simultaneously refusing to actually do anything at all about it, because doing so "would give Biden a win." Can't have that. So now Republicans must complain about border security while refusing to do anything about border security, and just blaming Biden for all of it as if immigrants have never crossed the border until Biden got elected.
So why do they do this? Because it's effective. They have conditioned their voting base to not only not care about solutions, but to actively not want them. Solutions to problems are government overreach, you know. They have conditioned their base that (a) Democrats are the cause of all their problems, (b) the Republican party is there solely to point out the "problems" that Democrats are supposedly causing, and (c) these problems can't and shouldn't be solved by the government because that would be government overreach. And when people complain about why nothing ever changes, the answer is to go back to (a) and start over.
Give a man a boogeyman to blame for all of his problems, and he'll follow you anywhere.
Dark Brandon strikes again, by simply offering Republicans exactly what they asked for.
Dusty Deevers, lmao. I went to elementary school with him for a few years. You don't forget a name like that. Trust me, he comes by the dipshitidness honestly from growing up in that Oklahoma town. It's isolated and simple, and at least 50 years behind the times. I wouldn't call anyone from there wordly.
I was obviously just a kid at the time, but an opportunity came and I noped the hell out.
Fuck these immature, trash people.
He must have been the one to concede shooting illegals as they crossed the border.
