  That hostage analogy was made by David Frum in MSNBC last night.  He said the holdouts are just "hostage collectors", and there's nothing McCarthy can offer them to give up the "hostages."
context: McCarthy just needs to hold the vote 10 more times. Once the vote count hits 18, Gaetz will lose interest in it >
  
  This deserves gold. >
  
  Top comment over in r/Conservative in an article regarding Fucker Carlson:  
  
  The problems with the two party system is becoming apparent. The gop doesn’t represent us. They take our money and votes and then call us terrorists and say we have to capitulate to democrats any time we have power. They bend us over every single time while they get their special interest bills passed. I would rather vote third party and lose to democrats then help rinos. They are nothing without us. I would rather lose to democrats then be backstabbed by Mitch McConnell over and over. >
  
  That's the sound of realization dawning... >
  
  I mean, realization followed by doubling down on radicalization >
  
  Baby steps. From what you quoted it sounds like they are done with Republicans because they don't trust them anymore. I'll take that. Now if they want to all jump ship over to Vanilla ISIS Political Party, yeah, kinda weird but at least they won't be voting Republican. I'll take that baby step. Because I have no idea what it would take to at least get some Republicans to vote Democrat in secret but I would like more voters to come to the realization that it is an option. >
  
  Every time 'realizations' like this happen they get further radicalized. This is what the Tea Party and QAnon bastards said >
  
  Ah, so although they say a bunch of things, they will still vote for Republicans then. It sounded like they wanted to stop voting for them. >
  
  It's history, they say this a lot and it's why the GOP is in perpetual radicalization. Go look at the debates between Reagan and Bush, then listen to Romney and Obama. Then remember that Bush Sr was called a RINO in his time, as was Romney leading to what were considered 'radicals' of their time taking control of the party >
  
  Well, if the exact same thing has been going on for decades how much more radical can Republican voters get? >
  
  Well, right now they look like they're repeating almost every step the Nazis took prior to their sacking of the Weimar Republic, to include states trying to pass legislation preventing any aspect of transition therapy prior to age 26 >
  
  As long as they televise this kind of revolution, I'm good. >
  
  "You will ~~not~~ be able to stay home, brother." >
  
  This punk McCarthy deserves this. Treasonous jerk. He and McConnell had ample opportunity to reject the insurrection,  support impeachment and criminal proceedings and they decide to stay the course. Wallow in the pile of dog crap you created, Kevin. >
  
  Truer words have never been spoken 👏 >
  
  Lauren Boebert said as she left the House chamber that her position on Kevin Mccarthy will not change: "There are no concessions. The deal is over with him. He does not have the votes. He will not become speaker. Nope."
  This is the first time I've ever come close to even acknowledging what she has to say, I feel gross... >
  
  Lauren Boebert does not speak, she boeberts. >
  
  I don't watch tv too often but I was somewhat amazed to see her on MSNBC with Rhule interviewing >
  
  We’re definitely going down yet another unchartered rabbit hole, to where exactly nobody knows! >
  
  Sadly these nut jobs could give 2 shits about the country or it’s citizens >
  
  Prime popcorn eating material. I can watch it all day long. >
  
  Public display of GOP empowering people who caused an insurrection and were never punished nor penalized! VOTE THEM OUT! >
  
  Stop.  I can only get so erect. >
  
  Yes, not only does the GOP's revolution eat its own, it also eats the "treats" it finds in the cat's litter box. It turns out the GOP's revolution isn't very bright and is most likely heavily inbred. It probably suffers from breathing problems and hip dysplasia, too.
  That's what they get for buying a revolution from a revolution mill. They should have just adopted a friendly, well-behaved social movement from the local shelter. >
  
  Gross, they all look so gamey. >
  
  So well deserved >
  
  Kevin is going to give away so much to the hostage taking 20, that he could lose credibility with the rest of the republican caucus. 
  The hostage takers refuse to take yes for an answer.
