  Republican leadership likes a guy like this. Meadows was demonstrating some real rat fuck behavior, and that goes along way with this current iteration of the GOP. >
  
  Serious question - how do we even get this shit out of American politics?  The last 6-7 years, the GOP has really leaned into the overt cruelty, corruption, lies, etc. and their voters fucking love it.
  Nobody ever gets held accountable and as long as their voters like it, they’ll just get more and more bold.  I don’t know how to even fight against this mentality. >

  You get a voting system in place that allows people to express their displeasure without having to completely sacrifice their other principles.
  A conservative is still going to vote Republican, not because they think burning documents is best practise, but because they value conservatism. There are no other avenues for them to vote for conservative values in a first-past-the-post system.
  First-past-the-post doesn't give a shit about your political opinion, beyond "these 2 choices".  The People cannot exercise their duty when it's the same two unpunished parties over and over.
  Instead, it will turn the people against each other as the political system becomes calcified into nothing more than an ongoing series of football matches played by the same two teams for eternity.
  The political class really has the public right where they want them - fighting amongst themselves instead of channelling that energy into demanding and rewarding better governance. >
  
  These folks all need to be in jail. For a long, long time.
