The American people are the ones paying the consequences, not the GOP. Every stupid game they play is at the cost of ordinary peoples' lives and well-being.

Well met, brother!
"Yeah, but that's different, because it benefits me."
Same here. I've been a forever DM for decades, and every time I change to be a player I just don't enjoy it as much. DMing is fun and I love being a forever DM.
Maybe if the GOP hadn't adopted a scorched-earth, zero cooperation, zero compromise policy since 2010 they wouldn't be in this position now. They expect Democrats to fix their own problems for them, but they can't go on TV without saying that Democrats are traitors to the country, or projecting all of their own problems onto them. It's always the Democrats who have to "strike a difficult balance" and make sacrifices to reach a compromise, because they're the only adults in a room full of petulant children.

It's how he beat out all the other candidates in 2016, it's how he beat Hillary Clinton, and it's how he's going to win in 2024. Constant free news coverage from a fawning media that care more about ad clicks than the society we live in.
I love the dishonest replies that pretend "not that" means "nothing at all."
