Agree 100% with all your observations. It the R’s had been ANY good at all we wouldn’t be in the hot messes we are in today. Most of them just sit back and don’t rock the boat — the old “go along to get along” approach to governance.
We’ve had a 50+ year one-way ratchet. They get two clicks, MAYBE we get on click but more often they get five clicks to our one.
Hate to say it but the R’s are basically just a fake party. The party has no soul or convictions. Taxes seem to be the only issue they really care about.
Now don’t get me wrong, I’d rather have a useless Republican in office than a destructive Democrat. Any day of the week.
Unfortunately, the R’s seems to be very uncomfortable with the concept of leading. They are more like spectators than players.
