The Republican leader told POLITICO that his critics “had their shot” already. But conservatives are not done whacking him over the immigration-for-Ukraine aid implosion.
It baffles me how people see what happens among the Republican lawmakers and say, “yeah, that’s the kind of leadership I want to make my country great.” I mean, if you don’t agree with Democrats then don’t vote for them. But why keep voting for the same people who year after year show they have no interest in governing?
GOP voters have turned over the last two decades from a traditional type of elector, who casts votes and lends political power to a candidate for something. The average GOP voter in 2024 is voting against something. These things they oppose are often imagined or maliciously designed and when real, are almost always dishonestly portrayed in scale and scope.

You’re absolutely right, but the part that puzzles me (and maybe it shouldn’t) is why they never, ever consider how it can be possible that they themselves are miraculously exempt, and will somehow always be exempt, from harmful government exclusions and actions.
They casually say shit like “He’s hurting the wrong people!” and easily applaud the loss of benefits and rights for others, without ever casting a brain cell at the possibility that they themselves are The Right People to harm – just as soon as their own idiocy is no longer useful in wiping away every citizen’s rights.
