So the backlash begins.

House Republicans swiftly took aim at 13 of their colleagues who voted for the bipartisan infrastructure bill late Friday night, despite the legislation’s bipartisan passage in the Senate last August.

RINOs and cucks, all of them. Globalists. Nasty people. Losers who would probably lose their next election anyway, although that wouldn’t stop any of them from begging Trump for an endorsement.

Something called “socialism” seems to be pretty scary to this crowd.

Reflexively opposed to anything happening under a non R-branded President.

Not only will they take the money, they will invariably take the credit as well.

Ball is in your court Chamber of Commerce and business in general. You wanted this bill. How long will you remain loyal to the GOP that is working against you?

The GQP has truly sailed off the edge. It is no longer a political party, it is a full blown cult and a very dangerous cult that no longer believes in Democracy. If the GQP takes control in 2022/2024, there will be no United States left.

In passing, MTG’s messaging is Incendiary as hell. Just a running stream of it. This is not a well person.

I see that “spending” seems to be the Bugaboo.

Logic does not apply to the people running the GOP.

I am surprised that they took the effort to even say that.

There will be a bunch of groundbreaking and ribbon-cutting ceremonies in the coming year featuring Repugnant-cans who voted against the bill.

I hope some of the Democratic-aligned super PACs pay for billboards near BIF projects in Republican states and districts saying “REPRESENTATIVE X AND SENATOR Y VOTED AGAINST THIS JOB-CREATING PROJECT TO IMPROVE OUR COMMUNITY.”

That’s an impressive array of bullshit right there. A litany of reasons for voting against the bill that are effectively free of policy arguments. Threats for the RINOs and an enduring fear of socialism seems to be the driving legislative reasoning. I guess you can just relax on the job when you don’t have to think about complicated issues and just yell out the same crap on every vote.

This is what’s wrong with our country. Ignore the fact that the bill will help the country. Ignore, like in the past, both sides would be standing there making the announcement and claiming credit for helping their states. Yes that is how it used to be.

At this point the RW is a rowdy crowd turning on their own. They are tearing themselves apart to prove how insanely loyal they are. Loyal to an orange tinged second class grifter. Really? We are suppose to be terrified of these loons?

MTG is what the GOP has become. She is the face of the movement, bloated, self satisfied and slowly wasting away.

Taking on the personality of the cult leader. From voter to minion to elected official.

That reduces policy statements to jingoism.

Eliminating governance to, instead, slogans and binary-outcome combat.

Most of us understand that, but we must work to counter the communication enablers who work to elevate Republican tricks by describing them as one mature side in a BothSides narrative.

And yet poll after poll shows strong support among Dems and Republicans for what’s in the bill Also, instead of listing what’s actually in the bill, several resort to the “only 10% is for actual infrastructure!!!” cry.
