Isn’t the point of the republican party to dismantle and shut down the government? Why would they “get their act together” when the literally platform on shutting down as much of the government down? This whole thing is going exactly the way republicans dream of. They have stopped any governing from happening which is the republican dream
How are they going to ban abortion, interracial marriage, and unionizing; run an ethnostate; empower corporations; forbid regulations; or any of the other authoritarian policies they want to implement if there is no government?
You should probably be watching their actions instead of listening to their words.
By making the government a disfunctional mess and blaming democrats and spreading misinformation while pushing everything to a corrupt supreme court. Which is what they are doing
It’s not really that dysfunctional imo. The courts are doing a lot of the lifting like you mention because that is the group that has the most power at the moment (and not just the SC), but they had no problem getting Trump’s tax cuts and other big legislation through. They also extended the use of military assets and federal police against protesters during BLM, and have been establishing secret police even this year such as in NC. The corporate subsidies still get approved in a split Congress, although greenwashing is the latest aesthetic. Controlled munitions are still being approved for reloading Israel. I guess I just have to disagree that their actions have effected any reduction in government power. Bill Barr was the one literally pushing for a dictatorship just a few years ago (Unitary Executive Theory) and he’s a GOP power player.
I guess I should have said ending democracy instead of ending the government.by getting rid of any functions of the government that insure democracy is the goal. Or the goal is destroying the institutions of democracy which defacto would destroy our government and institute a new type of government
Yeah. Conservatives are more or less monarchists at the end of the day.
They are ALL FOR big government. I don’t know where you are seeing them wanting the government shut down. They just don’t want a government that supports freedom for its citizens, but they’re all about ensuring governmental control.
