It would serve us to recall that Republicans are split between actual conservatives who prefer some measure of decorum while dragging us backwards to pre - civil war conditions (chattel slavery for PoC and the wrong kind of whites, only the “right” whites can own private property, hold bank accounts, etc), and MAGA, who want the same things but can’t give a flying fig about decorum, and would even abandon those goals to grab as much wealth as fast as they can and exit the country if they sense the larger general population has finally awakened and are about to go after them with intentions of having their heads on pikes.

The internal contradictions in the US are sharpening every day.
It’s quite an exercise in self-control to temper my expectations and patience, sometimes. My ID is champing at the bit.
