Hell no a matter of fact they encouraged it and then they cleaned their hands by saying well we can’t control the protesters.. this is out of our hands. Schumer waters AOC the squad you name it they were in the front lines encouraging the protest! Where the hell are our representatives?!

In the minority, the power of our representatives is limited. They can’t exert much without the consent of the majority. Were they 100% united, as the other side HAS been as close senate minorities, the ability to stop most bills via filibuster provides some blunt power. However they are not consistently united enough to block enough (primaries are making progress on that problem!) and the majority lets the regime get by with illegal workarounds. Plus screaming to the MSM is worthless... for our side. Screaming to our side’s media is not useless, but not yet strong enough. The one branch of government we do control (even though we allegedly control SCOTUS, we certainly don’t control enough of the judiciary yet) is in the states can do some good locally, eg. DeStantis and sometimes TX. But a fair chunk of our strength there is controlled by RINOs (again primaries are helping) and a fair chuck of states we claim to control contain isolated roadblocks exercising their positional power beyond reason. In my Iowa GOP controls everything except AG. So our will doesn’t get enforced. In some states a Soros SOS blocks effective election reform. So ‘our’ side doesn’t ‘always’ deserve blame for being ineffectual. Even though a fair number of politicians claiming to be on ‘our’ side have sometimes earned blame for not pushing the limits of their powers in our behalf. We’re the party of true tolerance and trying to get along. They are the more ruthless, contrary to their false reputations. No if they DO manage to beat the steal come November and gain more power ‘our’ lame ducks had better play walls against any last mlnute lefty bills. And the new team had better come in with new leadership and plans to do as much as physically possible in spite of the other branches. Zero all funding for their priorities until they’ve signed off on a bunch of our stuff.
