The Republican uniparty policy making is nothing new. It preceded the Amber Australopithecus' election in 2016, it was embraced by the Tea Party, and harks back to the Neocons in the Reagan White House, if not before. Over the years bipartisan efforts at legislating have never been a given, from either major party; it is currently the Rs turn to play "my way or no way" but the Dems have played this same game before and eventually it will be their turn again.
As for Pres Biden's valid concerns about Ukraine and national security, the New GOP wants the former to lose their freedom to appease the Putin fanboi, the Apricot Arthropod -- who desperately wants to join the "International Association of Authoritarians, Despots and Dictators" -- and could not care less about the latter if it interferes with their acting in political theater and attempts at issuing in a tyranny of the minority. It is a talking point and nothing more.
The Amber Australopithecus will never be accepted into the Association; his ego is too big and he will eventually want to be the group's leader. He will lose this clash to the other inflated egos of its already existing membership, composed of people like Putin, Xi, Orban, MBS and Kim. Even so, he will claim he would be the most benevolent dictator in world history and that all his subjects love him more than they love their own families. Bipartisan legislation will cease to exist since the other party will be banned, as will any third parties not MAGA affiliated.
To the New GOP, national security is to be defined by them or it will be unacceptable. Terrorists and drugs are flowing freely through our porous border (they don't seem concerned about the northern border), or so they claim. Ukraine has no effect on our security, Putin will be satiated absorbing Ukraine into Russian hegemony and will stop there, or so they claim. America is under assault by the domestic terrorists who serve under the banner of the Democratic Party, or so they say. The only path to security is to turn the US into a hermit country like N Korea, allies like the other NATO countries be damned, or so they say. Our national security is in jeopardy if every household doesn't contain at least one firearm, or so the say. Our national security is at risk because we have become a degenerate people who allow the LGBTQIA+ community to have equal rights, condone abortion, allow Drag Queens to groom our children, and think pornography (as they define it) is pervasive in our schools and libraries, or so they say. National security is at risk because we have turned away from our Christian history and beliefs, or so they say.
The New GOP is composed of some truly sick individuals who should be on a Psychologist's couch and not in Congress.
Trump has normalized abnormal. The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem, and I don't see any MAGA leaders nor trump worshippers making such admissions. It seriously feels we are living in two different realities. I have to agree with Charlie and guests' latest concerns, the Democratic Party needs to go on the offensive from the White House and with surrogates and draw a line in the sand, call out every conspiracy theory and lie and fascist agenda non-stop, because the inmates are getting stronger and stand a good chance of running the asylum in the near future.
