He literally said, "One hundred percent of my focus is on stopping this new administration." That's exactly how Civil Wars start.

Some would say, "... Well they should just vote him out..."
Between gerrymandering and voter suppression he stays in. And 30% of his supporters do it because of party line. That always leads to civil unrest as a violent minority take the power from the majority. I would argue there are 10,000 closet supporters of AOC for every single Civil War Rein-actor.

Things could have been SO much better...
The poor - entering the middle class...
The middle class finding itself with a cushion of savings...
A national healthcare plan...

And the wealthy... Staying really really wealthy.

Sorry for the mix up. Somehow I had two threads saying the same thing and somehow more copies were being made. I couldn't find a way to delete the thread so I erased the opening post.

Below is what I was trying to post for this thread.

Why Mitch McConnell is about to destroy the GOP

This is a lengthy article. A few quotes given to give an idea of what the author of this article suggests as to:

Why Did McConnell announce no Republican votes for Biden's bills before Congress?

McConnell just said that there will not be one single Republican vote in support of President Joe Biden's infrastructure plan.

Why would McConnell do this?

Why would he essentially encourage Democrats to make the legislation as expansive, effective and popular as possible? And then let them get all the credit for it?

First view by author.

McConnell probably asserted a thousand times that when taxes on rich people are cut and government spending goes down, good things will happen to the American economy.

McConnell has suggested that rebuilding our country at the expense of taxing rich people would create an economic disaster.

There's been too much government spending clouding things. Taxes have never really been low enough. There's never been a true libertarian experiment in America.

If we want to see if these theories actually work, they say,

first we have to do away with Social Security,
Medicare,
unemployment insurance,
food stamps,
public schools,
public health departments
and the whole plethora of government-supported institutions.

Those things, they say, have so muddled up and distorted our economic systems that partial measures like partial deregulation and occasional tax cuts promoted by Republicans over the last 40 years haven't had the success that they could have had in a "pure free-market economy."



Republicans studied it in college from Econ professors whose chairs were funded by right-wing billionaires.

They've read it over and over again in conservative books and magazines, and on conservative websites.

They've been hearing it preached from the highest towers of conservatism their entire lives.

The first possible and most rational explanation for Mitch McConnell openly stating in advance that there will not be a single Republican vote for Biden's plan is that McConnell thinks if Biden's plan passes it will create a disaster.

McConnell may think that inflation will spike, the national debt will lead to some terrible national default, and/or the stock market along with the entire economy will go in the tank.

SECOND VIEW BY AUTHOR

there's one other possibility worth considering. Perhaps McConnell's trying to implode the party to purge it of Trump.

That possibility, though, is a stretch. It still appears that the only reasonable explanation for Mitch McConnell refusing in advance to go along with anything Biden is proposing that might help America is that he truly believes that, at the end of the day, Biden's plans will be a disaster and he wants to have no part of them.

Freddie's Third View

McConnell is afraid that Biden's bills before Congress should become law, they will be widely popular and the Republicans will be wiped out in the 2022 election.

The article goes much more in detail than the quotes I lifted from the article.

What do you all believe is McConnell's agenda goals concerning the Biden bills before Congress?

Other view points?

Other sources?

Mitch is out to destroy Democracy.
Not just democracy but all the things the Biden team strive for.
Not because its wrong but because he can.
As for the GOP he is there to preserve the party, follow its leader and maintain a straight face when confronted with conspiracy theories. He hasn't got the balls of Cheney so wont stand up and be counted - he - like all the other worms in the GOP - need the job, the money and the perks.
For Mitch, and the GOP, its not about the country, not about the electorate its about ME ME ME

What do all turtles want? A shady lawn, some choice leaves of lettuce, and of course preventing a Democrat led government from accomplishing anything that might be viewed as popular by the nation.

Mitch McConnell turns 80 next year, he doesn’t have much time left on the timer.

Tick tock, Mitch.

Perhaps, like the raging mentally deficient Autocrat of Mar-a-lago—whom evangelical Christians proclaim was sent by the current deity they manipulate to serve their oppressive political interests—McConnell will also be subject to an immediate recall.

Defective product.

I'm just hoping his high cholesterol gets the upper hand and takes him out of the national spotlight.

And, if that doesn’t happen—indictments, incarceration, a padded cell, solitary confinement, a straight jacket, a muzzle, and the loss of the keys for the above works for me.

I think if he wants to be efficient with time and responsible with tax payer money (true conservative principles), he should just drop dead.
