It’s insane to call themselves “conservatives” as they defy/defile established norms in seeking to control We The People … yet when they do deceitfully finagle their way into a federal office can only obstruct, NOT govern.
From an independent’s viewpoint: There WAS an option to help heal the House and show the nation how it has been done in the past to make things work. It was the honorable option which put nation before party but it was sacrificed in favor of having a spectacle. So, BOTH parties screwed up and got us to the mess that currently exists. It would have been so easy morally to have members of both parties rally around a moderate who has a history of working with both parties. To have the best healing for the nation it should have been a Republican moderate because they do have the majority and because that party needs much more healing given the level of damage that the reactionaries have done to it and to the nation. (Reactionary parasites who supported Hitler were mostly in the Republican party during early WWII, after WWII reactionaries mostly moved to the Democratic Party but thanks to the moral choice of backing Civil Rights they left then began infesting the Republican party again. Basically, reactionaries parasitize a political party using pretty much the same playbook that the Nazis used in 1930s German, right down to trying to pass themselves off as some other flavor of conservative when they are much more extreme than that.)
Interestingly enough MOST Republican voters in polls did NOT support McCarthy in MANY polls. The numbers opposing him and just not paying attention enough to care were pretty equal, but most did not support him. Meanwhile, most Democrats want a functional House. So, neither party did what their own voters want.
Just replace the names with Democrat and Republican, and in place of the Prince are we, the citizens:

The groundhog can’t be speaker because he isn’t right wing enough. In fact, he has no right wings, only paws.

Congress will be unable to get anything done. I don’t know if that’s a good thing.

I think Mr. Jones draws a very good Gaetz. I imagine we’ll be seeing a lot of him in the coming days.

No big deal here. Just another fake crisis dreamed up by the Dems. Their pick lost every vote.
