    Realistically because they could care less about opposing the dems if it keeps their power. If they actually tried some reverse psychology shit like that the GOP would happily let it pass and show how they are more bipartisan than those ‘filthy’ liberals. They aren’t all complete idiots, they are fascists trying to dismantle our democracy.

        No but she also doesn’t need to for her base, in fact it works better when they play the idiot stooge. It makes them relatable to their base and makes them seem incompetent to the opposition, to have such a naive take doesn’t help us when we are actively fighting a fascist takeover.

      They’ve killed bills that they created and submitted themselves before, once the other party accepted said bills.

        You mean when riders were added on that they didn’t like? If the plan I responded about was actually put in place you wouldn’t be able to get away with riders and so subsequently there would be no reason for them to kill it, hence it being a bad idea.

        Because you are forgetting about framing the narrative. Fox doesn’t need to tell its base about shit, just point to events in the past about how dems blocked GOP initiatives while parroting on about how great the GOP is for crossing isles to get something passed. They won’t tell the whole story and their base isn’t gonna search out the truth, they are gonna eat up what fox and the like serve up on a platter for them.
