    It’s because far right folks are slowly creeping in as a majority of the party, and will excommunicate any dissenters pretty much

    Because GOP leaders know their base is dumb enough to believe that everything is Hunter Biden’s dad’s fault when they’re told it, so they can go ahead and burn down the country and know they won’t lose any votes over it.

    Because they focused their session brainpower on creating a dress code rather than addressing actual problems. But it’s okay, they’ve got practice blaming others for things so they’ll just do that.

    What would you think of a sheep that tried to talk it’s way out of being eaten by a wolf? Any political value in bipartisanship, died when Nixon resigned and Reagan was elected. Then Newt came along to beat it’s corpse into a thousand pieces and dropped them in the sea. Next up was Hastert, who just tidied things up and made it official. If you cooperate with the enemy, you’re no longer a republican and should be expelled from office.

    And now you want to ask why republicans fail to negotiate?

    When we have a Democratic administration, especially in an election year, the traitorous, useless conservatives see their role as doing absolutely anything to avoid the President from having any legislative accomplishments. It doesn’t matter what it is - they will obstruct absolutely anything while doing pathetic puffery like ‘omg we’re impeaching but uh… don’t know for what and have no evidence’.

      You look at the political sphere in USA and say to yourself “boy the Democrats just get catered to; health care, reproduction rights, social welfare”. America is a failing state and you think it’s the party of “small goverment, conservation of spending, and reduction in socials service” that will FIX this?
