A good chunk of the GOP Congress views itself as our aristocratic betters. That unearned hauteur is pretty much the reason for the deranged GOP Congressional response to the unarmed sit-in being distorted beyond all recognition into an armed insurrection with their collusion. In the eyes of our Vichy Republican lords and barons, MAGA demonstrators staging a sit-in committed lese majeste - a crime against their dignity as aristocrats. We need to replace these aristocrats with people who actually want to do what we want rather than what they want. They are hawking up loogies on us while telling us it’s raining.

Sorry, that is just never going to happen no matter who is elected.

Anyone with enough arrogance to run for office is going to do what they want to do and just assume that it is what the voter wants.

You best bet is to pay close attention to what the politician says during the primary election campaign and judge what the candidate thinks on the issues.

Two things influence a politician. His personal thinking and ideology and the thinking of campaign doners (lobbyist).

The reality is that politicians for the most part are mercurial beast. You really never know where they are going to be when it is time for them to vote. The majority are going to vote the party line most of the time because they are following the leadership’s direction.

There are few that will buck leadership on principle. Most of those will be labeled oddballs or extremist in the press.
