I believe The New York Times sums up the status of the situation well, “Only hours before the vote, Representative Kevin McCarthy of California was still laboring on Tuesday to lock down the support he needed to be elected speaker, with ultraconservative holdouts showing no signs of backing down from what could become a chaotic floor fight at the dawn of the new House Republican majority. The standoff hung over what was supposed to be a day of jubilation for Republicans, exposing deep divisions within the party as it embarks on its first week in power. It all but guaranteed that even if Mr. McCarthy eked out a victory, he would be a diminished speaker beholden to an empowered right flank.”
We are just hours away from the beginning of RepubliKKKlan chaos in the House being on full display to the whole world. Just remember, this is what morons of America voted for because I live in stupid hell. Ya know, I was persuaded immediately after the midterm elections that democracy had held, that Americans had come to their senses at the last minute, and that the worst may actually be behind us. Boy, was I wrong! Not sure why I keep failing to stick to my gut, but I should have, for I should have known that given voters’ choice to continue with the successes of the Biden administration or fuck it all up, morons of America would take the first chance to destroy America’s progress. So, I’m back to blaming stupid fucking Americans who are just too fucking stupid to be trusted with preserving democracy.
And it’s not like this situation with McCarthy is entirely unknown. Just ask Speakers Boehner and Ryan. Boehner was forced out by the same uber-right-wing crazies preventing McCarthy from ascending. As Boehner says in his memoir, “Under the new rules of Crazytown, I may have been Speaker, but I didn’t hold all the power. By 2013 the chaos caucus in the House had built up their own power base thanks to fawning right-wing media and outrage-driven fundraising cash.” And this is the same faction that drove Ryan to quit because he was tired of the same chaos coalition getting in the way of everything, even conservative initiatives. As of today, absolutely nothing has changed for the better; it’s only become worse. There are now more RepubliKKKlan members committed to burning everything down.
But this is what Americans want. This is the result of their votes. And I am getting really fucking sick of voters looking at this mess in the House and shaking their heads, wondering why can’t they get their act together? Jesus-fucking-Christ, you stupid, stupid people of America. You put these idiots in office. What the fuck did you think was going to happen? You should have known this was going to be the consequence: QAnon kooks and the crazy caucus come to power and basically blow everything up. RepubliKKKlans don’t know how to govern; they don’t want to govern. All they want is to block everything, stymie progress, and pull America back 100 years. But whatever! I live in stupid fucking hell. This is trump stupid America, and people deserve it! And another thing, don’t expect dumbass Democrats to capitalize on this RepubliKKKlan dysfunction because they can’t — won’t. It is not enough for Democrats to assume idiots of America will rightly understand the contrast between Democrats’ ability to govern and RepubliKKKlans’ desire to destroy everything, for they won’t. Democrats need to twist the fucking knife — not really in Democrat’s character. Oh, well. Welcome to stupid America!
