<Borat Voice> MY WIFE...was listening to a podcast where they talked to Peter Meijer, the Michigan Congressman who voted to impeach Trump in 2021, was then primaried by a lunatic (whom the DCCC boosted) and lost. He's now setting himself up to run for the open Senate seat in Michigan. Remember, he voted to impeach Trump over January 6th.
He was asked if he thought Biden should be impeached over things like the OSHA vaccine mandate and he seemed to say yes.
First, this won't erase his sin of voting to impeach Mango Mussolini. He's toast. Second, this shows how an ostensibly "good" Republican has to debase himself to win GOP primaries. You simply can't be a John Kasich-type Republican anymore. Hopefully, more and more suburban Republicans are becoming Democratic leaning independents or outright members of the non-crazy party.
Even the right leaning Republicans are learning how hard it is to thread the needle between having an active brain and moral compass and being a Republican politician in thrall to the worst people in America.
Take a look at CPAC. This was the marquis event in conservative politics for decades. Now, it's so full of Near Nazis and Kloset Klansmen that savvy politicians are staying away. Jon Oliver ran a bit on James O'Keefe, where he noted that O'Keefe basically stole money from his supporters to fund a ridiculous lifestyle of a wannabe musical theater star. Nevertheless, his ouster from Project Veritas was met with howls of protest from the like of Rage Hobbit Ben Shapiro and Ambulatory Meat Sack Steve Bannon. The fact that he was grifting off his followers didn't matter as long as he "pwned the libs."
If an entire political movement exists to hate and destroy the other, that's inherently dangerous for democracy.
