GOP Shipwreck

By Baxter

Today is the anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald in 1975. Which means it would be very appropriate to comment on current political disasters. After all, the legend lives on, right?

Let's contemplate the future of the Republican Party. Popular elections are going against them. With a week to go before the government shuts down, their Preacher of the House is not in Washington — he's in France instead, giving a speech to the right-wing "World Freedom Initiative." The House is voting on stupid things like reducing Pete Buttigieg's and Karine Jean-Pierre's salary to 1$. So dumb.

These are not serious people. They have already admitted that they don't have enough "evidence" to impeach Joe Biden on, but trust them to come up with some more ridiculous nonsense to throw sand in the gears. Because the extreme MAGA Republicans don't believe in government. Not as long as, in any way, it benefits citizens who don't look or sound like them.

In short, they're racist pigs. And that's the story behind most of the electoral news we're seeing these days. If you see people pushing back against the popular vote on stuff like women's reproductive rights or trans rights, just know that that's uncomfortable white people, disrespecting democracy. We cats HISS.
