“President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.”
—Mitch McConnell, Friday
The whole bullshit with Kavanaugh and now RGB is McConnell’s revenge for Democrats being like “maybe we don’t nominate a man who wants to roll back the civil rights act” and “hey, we should listen to Anita Hill.”
If you haven’t watched this yet, you should.
And as fun as it has been watching people rest their hopes on Mr. ‘Binders Full Of Women,’ seriously, when the fuck are we gonna get it with these MFrs?
The Republicans are not like the Dems. The Dems have a spectrum of legitimacy, there are some strong leaders and some terrible leaders in that party with everything in between.
Republicans are *all* trash. There’s not like an AOC of the Republican party or whatever. Their *key value* is hierarchy. They don’t dissent. They follow. It’s literally their defining characteristic dating all the way back to the dawn of right wing political ideologies centuries ago.
Republicans all believe people are fundamentally bad and must be controlled by whoever gets to the top of the pile in order protect social stability.
They don’t care how they got to the top, the fact that they are at the top is proof of their intrinsic merit.
They will also defend this hierarchy against anyone who moves for equity. They will oppress and attack and subjugate to keep the social hierarchy intact. It’s their core belief.
This is the worldview they operate from and I know it’s hard because it’s so nonsensical when you’re operating from the value systems of the Left that include equality, fairness, and justice.
However, if you put the understanding of their beliefs in hierarchy in your brain, everything they do not only makes sense within their constructs but is hella fucking predictable and you won’t have to constantly have your hopes dashed against the rocks and you can focus your valuable, already fucking strained beyond reason, energy on what the fuck to do to fucking stop them.
