  • It’s crazy the modern GOP is so beholden to a terrorist minority in their ranks that those people are the ones calling the shots in both the electorate and in congress.

    They are the party that has branded themselves tough on crime and usually the loudest about not negotiating with terrorists, but when they end up with terrorists in their own ranks they fully capitulate, roll over, goose step, bark like a dog, fall in line and cede complete control to the whims of their worst and most reactive members. A full display of weakness and lack of principle for everyone to see, yet they still take themselves with grave sincerity. If Monty Python had done it, it would have been too over the top, just facetious, but here we are.

    Even then, only in a shortsighted, politically deceptive manner. Taxation driven by sales in a thriving hub with free transit also pads the budget. But, taxes are unpopular and people like sports teams and arena shows and overpriced shitty beverages. They give the bigger dopamine hit.
