The Republican Party isn’t concerned with earning votes, broadening its appeal, passing legislation to help people, and they’re not worried about how increasingly revolting they are to Americans.

They’re focused on eliminating the vote of the people who reject them.

It doesn’t matter that the Relief Bill is overwhelmingly, jaw-droppingly popular, or that the Republican base is dwindling as they refuse to govern in favor of attention stunts designed to produce cringey faux-outrage.

The point is to produce a radicalized minority ruling class.

People still want to treat the GOP like it’s a party. It’s not. It’s a fascistic, antidemocratic movement that serves as the public face and sabotaging body of the white, wealthy, and powerful who want to dismantle government and roll back rights. https://jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/there-is-no-republican-party

Still dealing with the GOP as if it’s well-intentioned, misled, or lost in a trance, or like anything that’s happening is normal or par for the course, only allows their antidemocratic pursuits to gain traction and momentum. See this thing for what it is.
