Republicans have at long last elected a House speaker: Representative Mike Johnson, a fundamentalist Christian who was also once called a key āarchitectā in Congressās efforts to overthrow the 2020 election.
Johnson finally secured the speakerās gavel after Republican infighting left the House without a speaker for 22 days. He secured 220 votes.
Johnson is a four-term congressman representing Louisiana. His win also represents the rise of the MAGA front in the Republican Party. Earlier Wednesday morning, Donald Trump endorsed Johnson as House speakerāafter quickly killing Mike Emmerās nomination the day before.
Because they are idiots who donāt like the idea that government is imposing on their lives. Forced healthcare, gun restrictions, food restrictions, etc. But yeah letās paint every single one of them as Nazis. Thatās definitely healthy.
L2read friend, I never said you/they were Nazis, you just might be super sensitive to the fascistic nature of the party. Might be something to reflect on.
I only mused on why idiots constantly vote against their own best interests and continue to elect people that actively make their lives worse. The fact you list āforced healthcareā as a reason to vote for these dipshits is honestly more sad than anything. But hey, enjoy your freedom to pay for the opportunity to be told to fuck off and die when the insurance donāt pay your medical procedure.
Iād love to say thatās a problem that will solve itself, but innocent people will be harmed because of the choices republicans force on the rest of the country. So again, fuck republican voters. I would love to still have compassion for their situation, but Iāve but I long ago ran out of sympathy for those who actively reject the idea of compassion to others.
