Do Republicans Even Know What Democrats Did to Them With This Anti-Gun Bill?
Townhall ^ | 23 june 2022 | Matt Vespa

Well, it happened. The Republican Party decided to play nice, try to get some good press with a media establishment that hates them, and join the legions of the righteous and blessed by hashing out a gun control bill during a midterm election cycle. Is everyone up there hitting the crack pipe? What are we doing? What the hell is this? We have category five hurricane gusts to our backs heading into November—and the GOP decided to do what it does best: find a new way to blow it.

The economy is primed to enter a recession as the second-quarter report is bound to show another period of economic contraction. The supply chain crisis is still ongoing. The pain at the gas pump lingers. Inflation is torching the wallets of working Americans. American mothers still can’t find baby formula. The southern border remains a mess. There is not a single crisis that's being managed in any meaningful way. Biden’s crew has done nothing. They can’t even get a WNBA star out of Russia who’s supposedly being unlawfully detained. Brittney Griner has been there since February. They can’t even set up a call between Griner and her wife; no one was at the US Embassy's front desk to connect the call. The incompetence is pervasive—and the GOP is allowing the Democrats to exploit a crease to depress conservative turnout.

That’s the game here. Democrats know they’re going to lose. They have a little old dementia-ridden man as a party leader. The economy is a dumpster fire. And they’re fighting history. The president’s party usually loses control of at least one chamber of Congress. The only exception to that trend was the 2002 midterms; Bush gained seats in the House and Senate

The number one goal of Republicans in DC is to be loved by those who despise and hate them regardless. They will do anything to get that love to include abject surrender and a$$ kissing all the way to election day.

Also, it is their kids that get ostracized at DC private schools.

“Are they talking about the gun control bill that SCOTUS made explicitly unconstitutional today”

LMAO! Talk about judicial nullification before consummation!

The court, without so much as trying, just made the whole of Congress look like a bunch of jackasses!

Of course they know. *These* “Republicans” are not Republicans, they are Democrats in Drag. As Steve Deace says frequently, “The only politicians who hate conservatives more than Democrats do are the Republicans.”

Democrats will never “play nice”. They have repudiated any notion of rule of law or peaceful coexistence.

If you expect nothing good ever coming out of Washington D.C.
You will never be disappointed.
And once in a while you might be pleasantly surprised.

There are no Democrats nor Republicans. The politicians divide into WEF Acolytes and Outsiders. The Outsiders remain bitterly divided Left and Right while the Acolytes wrap themselves in (D) or (R) robes for public consumption but govern as a unified bloc.

They know and they complied and it will get them nothing politically.
