REPUBLICANS IN DISARRAY!

The Republican Party Is A Farce of Sincerity

In an objective sense, Democrats 100% deserve to keep the House for two more years.

I was thinking today about how media on the political Right is a farce of sincerity.

Specifically, I was remembering the controversy following President Biden’s Press Secretary Jen Psaki leaving to work for MSNBC. The media on the Right insisted that it proves Democrats have an incestual relationship with the mainstream media, as if Donald Trump’s Administration and Fox News were not a revolving door for each other.

As if all the opinion hosts at Fox don’t have regular phone calls with Donald Trump, and text him daily during his months-long coup conspiracies, and didn’t text him even in the middle of his deadly insurrection hail mary attempt to stay in the White House.

As if Fox doesn’t provide pavlovian cover for Republicans 24/7, and hide and ignore all negativity about Republicans’ political interests unless an individual Republican official is breaking from the party’s Tucker Carlson-approved groupthink.

What angers me is how performatively Republicans act in bad faith because the Right wing media rallies around Donald Trump as Dear Leader over every issue du jour with instinctual loyalty to party zealotry.
