The GOP is really in disarray right now. Good.

stolid_agnostic ,

Sadly, their base is actually celebrating this.

yeeah, an insane cspan caller was trying to tell the world that him losing by 17 votes was a signal for the faithful to start the revolution. Nuckinfuts people. Hopefully he doesn’t lose by 76 votes next. 😑

They fail to realize their revolution is just a schism within the GOP. They want it so badly, they're falling apart. Make it official. Split the party.

If there truly was a proper party split, that’d give progressive, and non-regressive democrats room to start ousting the geriatrics and conservatives from the party, moving the whole country’s political representation leftward while GOPα. and GOPß compete with each other to be the new #2 party.

Hyperreality ,

The split may be larger than the vote appears to suggest. Those worried about re-election will avoid publicly opposing an ally of Trump and the base, especially if they know that colleagues in safer districts will prevent him gaining a majority anyway.

Exactly. And, this needs to happen if they can't even caucus together to do something as simple as select a speaker. Their internal division is paralyzing Congress because they are two parties acting like one, but not really.

That’s going to happen regardless. Basically once enough of these people die off, control will be released and at least some things can move forward. I fully expect to see a very hard push to the left.

That’s precisely why the gop shot their shot and why they’re so hellbent on proving thst government doesn’t work by burning it down from the inside to prove their point.

Conservatives will abandon democracy before they abandon conservatism.

OurToothbrush ,

The regressive democrats are the ones in control of the party, if anything they’d throw the social democrats out

TheJims ,

Of course they are, it’s a win for Putin and Trump

pigup ,

What’s the dumb reasoning? They want to all to burn down?

stolid_agnostic ,

Basically conservatives get elected and break government. They then turn around and tell their constituents that the government is broken and wasteful. Do this for enough generations and suddenly taxes are thievery and why does anyone care for infrastructure?
