Travelled for few weeks but I am back yes.
It's tough but the right wing has almost entirely adopted the NRA's formula that any tiny crack in their dam will result in total failure in their supporters eyes.
"But we just need to learn from these people because we don't understand." - All the people who read Hillbilly Elegy and nodded their heads.
Indeed "we" do not understand the mentality of this. Nor should anyone accept it.

He was going to use the money to adopt unwanted crack babies like all good MAGA folk. Probably.
And it begins.
I was one of those people for a while. Read the book and did a bit of thinking.
Maybe they have a point, maybe my European upbringing is clouding my understanding of large parts of this country.
Maybe owning guns wasn't the end of the world and Christianity is just their culture but they still respect the separation of church and state.
But the longer I live here the more evident it is that the right wing in this country are predominantly angry that they are being made to share, that they can no longer force their beliefs and ideas on others and have them accepted and adopted with minimal push back.
Not sure where I'm going with this, I guess I'm just disappointed that as the right get crazier and crazier, no one is standing up and saying "wow, we're going too far here" and I'm not talking about the news or media, I mean in my personal life or even on here.
If people on the right think it's gone too far, they just tend to shut up and hope that they don't get called out.
Sorry, bit of a rant, but I'm getting sick of it all.

To be fair, without actually seeing what’s in those bills, it’s tough to say. It’s never as simple as it seems on the surface with politicians always adding things on that suit their larger agenda and then complaining that the critical item doesn’t get through. Just focus on one problem and there’d be a greater success rate.
yea, in normal world, but not now.
For the most part now, it likely is straight forward and a whole heap of R reps won't vote for something just because it's led by D's.

Certainly some truth to this. Though nothing with our government is ever straightforward.
Not a rant, in my view. Instead, it's a rather cogent distillation of the primary political/cultural issue in this country.
