They don’t have to be super-geniuses to gain power and break everything they touch. Which is ultimately the problem.

In fairness, their rhetoric is very anti-statist. They speak out against government as the ultimate evil. Except, of course, when it serves their purposes. This is one reason why they tend to attract more people who identify as “libertarian” than Democrats. It’s pure marketing.

It’s expensive as hell, and sometimes even more difficult to pull up roots when you’re deeply embedded in a community. Moving around requires a lot of money that just gets exponentially worse if you have a family to bring with you. And good luck paying for things in the new state while you look for a job! It’s equally tough to arrange to have a job waiting for you in your new home state.

True, but in this case there was a specific deal agreed upon by leadership in both Houses. Only a handful of Republican Reps decided that they should get everything they want and nothing for the Democrats before they’ll allow the bill to pass. McCarthy doesn’t have enough support to ignore them and everyone knows it.

I feel like this comment misses how the article posted doesn’t care so much about whether he broke the law and more about the white supremacist leanings of the gun store he made a point to visit and talk about buying a gun.
