Republican senators say they are alarmed at how many Republicans, including those with higher levels of education and income, buy the unsubstantiated claims that the last presidential election was stolen.
A second Republican senator who spoke with The Hill said the growing strength of radical populism “makes it a lot more difficult to govern, it makes it difficult to talk to constituents.”
“There are people who surprise me — I’m surprised they have those views. It’s amazing to me the number of people, the kind of people who think the election was stolen,” the lawmaker said. “I don’t want to use this word but it’s not just a ‘red-neck’ thing. It’s people in business, the president of a bank, a doctor.”
How far up your ass does your head have to be to not see that your party is practically driven by conspiracy theories and falsehoods after the last decade??
XMark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them."
So interesting that the two candidates the right think are going to shift us from voting for Biden are a crazed anti-vaccination conspiracy wonk, and the one of two Senators that have stopped us from getting any legislation done.

There's a good video by More Perfect Union the describes No Labels, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3sZ2hzibKs]. TL;DR: it's a party created by a whole bunch of billionaires (i.e. Blackstone) with a history of opposing democracy.
Personally I think Steve Bannon’s little pretend Democrat club is going to backfire on them, if somehow Trump doesn’t get the nomination these dickheads are far more likely to steal away MAGA voters than Independents & Democrats. They are basically banking on the “Kennedy” name overriding the fact he’s a batshit crazy idiot, but they forget most people today don’t give a fuck about the Kennedy family, that hook only really works for people over 60 or so.
