#gop when do you wake up?
I was expecting there to be a few GOP senators who took their oaths seriously enough to sink Trump's most ludicrous nominees--the ones that are both dangerous and also just an embarrassment to the country--and fold on his other vicious, unqualified wingnuts.
But I was wrong.

It was only four years ago when #Republicans were in this situation having just lost a presidential election by a 5-point margin and I don't recall seeing a single story framed like this one.
The GOP, having just lost their 7th popular vote in the previous 8 presidential elections, was never described as "deep in the wilderness."
I'd also note that the Dems were able to pass bills without GOP votes. The #GOP hasn't been able to do that. So Dems objectively have more power.

I see a lot of congruence b/w 1933 onwards voting results for the NSDAP and the landslide victory of Trump's reborn #AmericaFirstParty aka #MAGA-#GOP received in last year's elections, 2.
The NSDAP never won the total vote within the DE electoral system, even though the final "democratic" elections entailed massive intimidations + terror.
The MAGATs won 50.6% of the Electoral College vote (220/435,) but due to the questionable 1st-past-the-post system.

Trump Chastised in Church!
At a prayer service at the Washington National Cathedral, the Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde criticized what she called a "culture of contempt" in the country.
"In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now," she said, citing LGBTQ people and immigrants among others.
Trump, who attended, said her sermon was "not too exciting".

I thought it was so significant, but of course no one noticed, that #Democrats had the votes take control of the #House in a couple of different ways given how divided the #GOP was.
And surely Democratic leadership was aware of that possibility, but chose to let Republicans have it.
So like you said, they don't want to win, they'd rather sit back and sneer.
I really wish we would hold them accountable for this sort of thing and stop reelecting that group.
Germany's ambassador to the United States has warned that the incoming Trump administration will rob U.S. law enforcement and the media of their independence and hand big tech companies "co-governing power", according to a confidential document seen by Reuters.
