But this is good for America. 2 Republican parties means smooth sailing for some time.

This sort of segues from yesterday’s discussion in the violence thread, but to expect the gop voters to break step with the deplorables, is asking an awful lot...

I wonder how many days into his term dt was before someone filed articles of impeachment against him.
Do you mean for actually breaking the law WHILE President?

How long til Greene says something racist?
specifically, she says something racist, the mainstream media looses their minds, the GOP is mostly silent, and conservative voters embrace their ‘24 frontrunner?
There it is again, going straight to racism. People like you are helping the Trumpeters. Stop.

Just to be clear, I hope she doesn’t make it about race.
And if she does, I hope her comments are condemned, by both sides.
But I think it’s people like her, not me, who are helping the Trumpeters.

This is by design, right? As in, the House is supposed to reflect America, including the fringes, while the Senate is supposed to trim some of that fringe, and the Executive a reflection moreso of America as a whole.
Not to say it always works out that way - but you're always going to have some nuts in the House.

The fringe though has been the tail wagging the dog, it seems for a while now.
And the dog seems a little too comfortable with being wagged.

there’s fringe, and then there’s nut jobs
someone who openly advocates q-anon conspiracies is a nut job, and is either 1) not living a life rooted in reality, or 2) dangerously pandering to nut jobs for power
i just don’t think those kinds of people have any business having a say (no matter how small) in how our government is run or in which laws are enacted
in fact, i think giving those people keys to congress is downright dangerous
and i’d say the same thing about someone who was an ardent supporter of antifa ideology

Representative democracy overall is a good thing. It just gets kinda hairy when one rep’s truth is worth no more than another rep’s conspiracy.

No, not at all, I think it's the opposite. I like that the nature of the House enables fringe ideas and policies to enter into public discussion. When the ideas are as bad as hers it results in a large bipartisan virtual beat down of her and the fringe she represents.
So now instead of the Q folks quietly, like, talking about overthrowing the Democracy, they get the public ridicule they deserve.
