  And half the country votes for them every time. >
  
  That should tell you something about half the country, then. >
  
  About half of the country that votes is made up of rotten people who willfully support and vote for even worse people.
  A large part of the rest of the country that isn't rotten (including voters and non-voters) still doesn't grasp that and wants to believe it isn't that bad and many of these people have been "tricked" and don't just know what they're doing. >
  
  Most republican voters I know are actively ignorant. They don't know things, don't listen to politics, and don't watch debates and they don't want to. They don't even watch Fox or OANN, they simply don't engage with any news at all, other than local evening stuff and occasionally memes. 
  They vote R. That's all. Nothing more to it. They don't know what platforms they are supporting (they think R means common sense policy, so whatever they like R must support as well) They are unaware of who is on the ballot, they don't know they are terrible. They assume D means radical liberal, and R is reasonable. There is no evidence backing their belief, it's just habit and the feeling of the habit. Any contradicting information is disregarded. It's like being actively passive. >
  
  You hit the nail on the head! I feel the same way! >
  
  Oh the defense contractor who sold tear gas to police to use against their own community is voicing violence against the elderly? Color me shocked. >
  
  He may be a brand new congressman but he has much experience being an asshole. Which probably makes him very qualified for his new job. >
  
  Well qualified to be a republican. >
  
  They're trying to spin it like McCarthy beat Pelosi in the speaker vote rather than McCarthy barely being elected on his sixteenth* try by his own fucking party
  *ETA 15th, whatever we all know the repubs are going to attempt a recall within 3mo >
  
  He beat a person who wasn't vying for the position.. After 14 attempts. Real winner. >
  
  And retired. >
  
  Soldier boy should be very careful what he says. >
  
  Expect nothing less from a trumphumping POS Repugnican. There is no bottom. >
  
  I thought respecting your elders was a family value? Oh, now I remember. They actually don't care about families, just the unborn. >
  
  That pro-life crap is just marketing to get votes from gullible people. If they really "cared", the fetal, infant, and gestational mortality rates wouldn't be the highest in the world and rising. They cut prenatal care for pro-life agendas, 1/5 deaths were actually preventable. Good governments fix that first, then take on the rest. There would be a plan. There was nothing. >
  
  Yup! Have you ever heard anyone raise concern about this? No one does. In Kerala, they pretty much eliminated abortion through education. Laws weren't working. Kerala is not the only study, there are thousands more. So, there you go - education is proven time and time again to be more effective than laws. >
  
  This specimen will go far in the party. Republican voters like assholes, and they adore huge assholes. >
  
  Classless glorification of violence. >
  
  GOP : Grand Old Pricks >
  
  It’s easy to call them names and make them into a joke.
  But the US has a really big problem on its hands.
  If you’re not really fricking scared, then you need to read more history. >
  
  We're about five years away from this current civil war going from lukewarm to hot >
  
  I'd say we're closer to becoming Hitler's Germany than a Civil War. >
  
  New Florida in the House :
  MATT GAETZ (R) Florida 1rst - Election Denier, Human Trafficker, paid Venmo to a convicted partner in crime for escorts, wants to defund Ukraine support, immigration hawk, known QAnon Trump stooge, defended QAnon Shaman, and attends numerous QAnon rallies supporting him

Numerous arsenal sales to questionable private prisons and Law Enforcement, under review for domestic tear gas sales. >
  
  Is being under investigation for something a requirement for a Republican resume? >
  
  No, but it does help… >
  
  Sadism is the MAGA way. >
  
  What a vicious and vile creep.  Fits right in with House Republicans. >
  
  He’s trying to blend in with the rest. /s
  High school never ends for some people. >
  
  A brand new Republican member of Congress from Florida tweeted a shocking joke about the 2022 vicious home invasion beating of 82-year-old Paul Pelosi, husband of former House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
  “Finally,” slammed new Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.), “one less gavel in the Pelosi house for Paul to fight with in his underwear.” >
  
  You know, not many will get to serve as a member of Congress.  You would think it would be something to be treated as a sacred calling, a time in your life to be full of pride and a willingness to set yourself to be humble in the wake of such a great responsibility.
  Or you can be…that. >
  
  
  sacred calling
  
  They do see bringing congress to its knees and shutting the govt. down as their mission and sacred calling. 
  They don't share our cultural beliefs or values such as respect for institutions or traditions. Frankly I don't either, but I belive in the ballot box over bullets, reason over passion, problem-solving over punching as the mechanisms for progressive change. 
  This is simply more evidence the Republican party is no longer a conservative party. And, that this is still the insurrection. We are in the 2nd civil war. >
  
  Much like how WW2 can be argued as basically a second hot phase of WW1 following an interval of economic and diplomatic warfare, it can be argued that the first civil war never really got resolved, with our reluctance and ultimate failure to annihilate their pathetic "culture" by redrawing post-war state lines to gerrymander their sickness into irrelevance. This led directly into a fifth column being welcomed with open arms and undermining American democracy and institutions for a century as they intermittently flare up the heat on the ongoing cold civil war. >
  
  And the most predictable of this whole thing will be all the GOP House members and the rest of the Republicans won’t condemn this at all. >
  
  He's a well-known groomer in his home district. Well known. >
  
  The ugly tweet was apparently Mills’ version of a celebration of the ascendency to House speaker of Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).
  Mills was also making fun of the brutal attack on Paul Pelosi, who was beaten with a hammer in the middle of the night last October by a violent Republican sympathizer allegedly out to get a list of Democratic targets. >
  
  bet he’s saving his road material for Albuquerque >
  
  This fucker had huge campaign signs all over the town where I work, basically small billboards, that was just a picture of him shaking hands with Trump. Of course he's a P.O.S. >
  
  Or the headline could read: “GOP member normalizes attacks on democrats and their families” >
  
  Florida again. Fuck that entire state. >
  
  Donald Trump did a lot of terrible things and is still trying to do more. To me, the worst was that he revealed that millions of our fellow Americans are sociopaths.  I actually remember WWII when Americans rallied to help each other and oppressed people around the world.  Maybe that could happen again if we are confronted by a common enemy, but the response of the Rs to Russian aggression in Ukraine is not encouraging. >
  
  Perhaps Americans are the common enemy the world will rally together to fight… >
  
  Brand new at anything is no excuse for lacking simple, basic human skills.
  Joking about someone who was near bludgeoned to death is just that: poor taste, lacking basic human skills. 
  Let me guess what party this POS is from… >
  
  Why does he have a telephone on his lower lip? >
  
  Florida Representative Cory Mills, seen here phoning at the mouth. >
  
  That’s my rep🤮 >
  
  Yep, and only because they moved the district to exclude Murphys residence so she couldn’t run again. >
  
  I mean at least it wasn’t Anthony Sabatini >
  
  Just another piece of trash self identifying. >
  
  Another example of shitty parenting? What do these parents do that has their spawn turning into such hate-filled, self-important maggots? What kind of soul crushing do you need to experience through childhood that leads you to lash out at people, rather than getting along? >
  
  The parents prop them up as the bastions of right and wrong and then the real world hits them like a truck. 
  It leaves them shocked and confused that the values they were instilled with aren't the majority. 
  And since the parents had no ethics, neither does the child who now resorts to forcing those values by any means. >
  
  Not every Republican an un compassionate asshole, but every uncompassionate asshole is a Republican. >
  
  I am beginning to think that the first part of that quote is just a cliche and untrue >
  
  So he thinks this is funny?
  
  Pelosi was knocked unconscious and woke up in a pool of his own blood. He underwent surgery to repair a skull fracture and serious injuries to his right arm and hands.
  
  r/iamatotalpieceofshit >
  
  Yet another reminder that elected officials are rarely anything special and, at the district level, far too frequently underwhelming individuals, if not outright damaged goods, who’ve run out of better options. >
  
  Fucking fascist piece of shit. >
  
  I saw this fuckheads campaign add. Clips of blm protests , then talks about tear-gassing libs. Dude is such a total piece of shit. I knew he was gonna win his race. I’ve heard he blows farm animals also. >
  
  The republicans will certainly call him out and Shane him for his callous and offensive behavior. Ha ha ha who am I fooling right? >
  
  They all do this:”Look at how hardcore GOP I am!”, always past the point of weirdness. >
  
  Hey look, a republican normalizing political violence!
  ... is anyone still surprised? >
  
  He looks like he enjoys strangling sex workers to death >
  
  Can we trade Florida for Puerto Rico >
  
  Seconded >
  
  What an ignorant moron. I wonder if he would make the same joke if it happened to someone in his family? >
  
  Florida.  He fits right in with all the other POS politicians there. >
  
  This guy should go sit with Santos. >
  
  They seriously need a recall vote for this guy, and not let him lie low for 2 weeks while the internet's collective braincell forgets about it >
  
  Well yeah the gloves have been off for a long time and it’s clear these people want all that oppose them dead.  The quicker we realize this the sooner we will have a better country. >
  
  Ah, the "Conservative Christian" party once again leading by example and doing unto others as you would have them do unto you. >
  
  I'm sure Florida Man here would find it monstrous or beyond the pale if you suggest that this kind of violence could happen to HIS wife...
  ...and then he would shoot you in the face in self defense because he was scared >
  
  Conservatives are just low quality people >
  
  They’re calling themselves domestic terrorists. >
  
  I'd like to point out the average person CAN'T make "jokes" like this without getting the fbi on them >
  
  The message by Mills, who is an Army combat veteran, was retweeted by Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), who said he wanted the public to “see the indecency that makes up the House GOP.” >
  
  Absolute anti American trash= republicans.
