The problem is that Republicans literally run “on the government is useless”. They don’t want to govern. They want power. They want to finish turning the government into an extension of our corporate overlords and cut any and all benefits, except corporate handouts.
This is what they want, but it’s a bad look since their voters might see exactly what they stand for. All they’ve done is hold meetings where they talk but nothing gets done. They’re using their committees to run interference for trump and poison the well for Biden like they did for decades with Hillary. Then scream deep state is holding us back. Fuck 'em. They have the majority, figure it out.
Meh, they shouldn’t gerrymander the fuck out of districts allowing the craziest candidates to primary the ones that actually now compromise is part of governing.
Of course there is, as long as you are the one paralyzing the government. Suddenly you have incredible amounts of leverage, especially if your voters are fine with you keeping everything paralyzed.

The thing is, there’s no power in being part of a paralyzed government.

You’re missing what I’m trying to say, though. If they want help (as this article is claiming), then we should leverage that.
