Only in the USA a person that actively voted against certifying a free and fair election, as part of an insurrection, can become a party leader in the house. Ridiculous.
Here’s the Republican/Trumpublican “platform.” They won’t write it down because too many voters might read it, so I did it for them. Despite being in the minority in terms of the US population, members of the SCOTUS, “Conservatives,” RWNJs, and white supremacists are attempting to drag this country back to their imaginary Jeffersonian agrarian idyl. The 1790 census (when Jefferson was Secretary of State), counted 5.3M Americans. Only white males owning 50 acres or more of land were permitted to vote, approximately 6% of the population. Free white men who did not own land, free white females, and slaves could not vote. In 1790 the American population was largely rural, making a living by farming. Our most recent census counted 332,403,650 Americans. Current estimates are that 83% of Americans live in urban areas. They do not work at farming. Of course, a country of 300-plus million Americans requires a larger government than one with only 5.3 million Americans. Please don’t worry about how “small government” works with regulating what goes on in your bedroom, or prohibiting women (still citizens as far as I know) from crossing state lines for medical care. Nevertheless, in pursuit of “small government,” the following are conservatives’ goals for their “Jeffersonian” America
1. No women’s rights.
2. No civil rights for people of color, or for any other minority groups.
3. No immigration, other than Caucasians.
4. No labor unions.
5. No health insurance.
6. No legal recourse due to Republican-packed courts.
7. No social security.
8. No disability insurance.
9. No minimum wage.
10. No free and fair elections (ultimately, no elections).
11. Imposed state religion; government (taxpayer) funding of religious schools.
12. Unregulated militias unchecked by Republican-packed courts. Continued…
Platform continued: 13. No work on mitigating climate change; no environmental protections.
14. No free press.
Oh, I almost forgot! Lying about and misrepresenting everything Democrats try to accomplish.
GOP politicians don’t care about the environment or mitigating climate change because they intend to stay permanently in office and use their money and power to take over remaining livable locations as environmental conditions worsen. Republican leaders don’t care if America dies as long as they can feed off the carcass for their lifetimes. How many Americans would have to die or be virtually enslaved in jobs with less than living wages for this “platform” to work? Why do you people who support today’s GOP, Trump, and Trump wannabes think that you will come out winners under this regime? NEVER MISS AN OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE, AND VOTE BLUE!
BTW: Always remember that there are 147 Trumpublicans in our legislature who voted to not accept Biden’s win. They are either, stupid, bat-poop crazy, cynical opportunists, or some combination of the three. They are not qualified to run a popsicle stand, much less the USA. Remember, and VOTE BLUE at every opportunity!

Whatever Trump wants is what the new Speaker will do.
That IS the Republican agenda.

Easy fix, put Trump in solitary and they’ll have to think for themselves. He’s had enough infractions at his NY trial to put him behind bars.

Hopefully the House will not be able to interfere in the 2024 elections but I’m betting they’ll do their darnest.

Trump needs to stay out of this and just go away. He’s caused enough trouble for the party.
