Part of the GOP battle plan to regain power is a no-holds barred attack on bipartisanship.
There actually was a time when bipartisan bills were possible in Congress. Now they are as rare as the fabled Dodo bird.
The Washington Examiner interviewed three GOP aides that said child care and family proposals are viewed favorably by a sizable contingency of Republican voters but they suggested that opposing Biden's "socialist agenda" would help their bosses, and the party, significantly more during the 2022 midterm elections than reaching across the aisle this summer.
Uniting under Trump's Big Lie has become a lifeline for extremists seeking re-election, and for new players in conservative politics.
Here's What Some GOP members are saying:
While addressing an audience at CPAC Saturday night, Rep. Lauren Boebert ranted,
"We're here to tell the government we don't want your benefits. We don't want your welfare. Don't come knocking at my door...you leave us the hell alone."
--------------------------------------
"My job is to block President Biden's socialistic agenda." Mitch McConnell
--------------------------------------
"For the next 18 months, Republicans' job is to do everything that we can to slow down the Democrats' radical agenda, and then win the majority and lead," Rep. Chip Roy at CPAC.
---------------------------------------
Speaking to a group of extremists, Patriot Voices," Rep. Chip Roy proclaimed, "Hopefully there will be 18 more months of chaos and the ability to get stuff done."
--------------------------------------
I could go on with more examples, but my point here is there's an active resistance against the majority of Americans who want to see successful legislation that improves their lives.
It helps to understand that Trump and his minions are a minority in the country. Right now that minority is seeking to destroy our electoral system and rig it for themselves.
Americans are being held hostage by these haters who manipulate social media and cable news to support the Big Lie.
Lies motivate the Republican party. Truth motivates the Democratic party to defend our Constitution and freedoms.
One prediction; if Biden wants to pass big legislation the filibuster must go. I think it will come to that once the Democratic party realizes their being played like fools.
Otherwise Mitch McConnell, Trump, and the rest will do an "Obama" and successfully derail Biden's legislation attempts throughout his presidency.
