Republicans just seem to have an aversion to playing offense, even when they have good reason to. They always look for excuses not to do things to move the conservative agenda forward.

I agree that they occasionally act to block the Dems but the problem is the party is infested with RINOs and weak pols who are terrified of the media and/or have no interest in forming a unified front against to achieve conservative goals.

Impeaching Biden is a necessity in view of his obvious corruption and profiting from his high office. If that’s not impeachable than it makes you wonder what is.

The only issue that appears to unify Republicans is taxes. They don’t get worked up about much of anything else.

People in any job will tend to do nothing if their employer is ok with it.

GOP reps have two employers: the people who give them money and those who give them votes. There is some overlap, but the big donors are fewer in number but bigger in individual contributions and demand specific deliverables in return for their patronage while the votes are mostly static and reliable and will usually be there no matter what based on the alternative.

Doing nothing, meaning blocking left wing legislation, is important, costs them nothing, it’s easy to do and pleases both of their employers. Passing conservative legislation on the other hand only matters if it mollifies their monied supporters who will abandon them if they don’t deliver. Everyone else gets the shaft because they’ll vote for them anyway even if they don’t deliver. It’s a shi—y situation.
