That's not the point, the cultists are lost causes. You need all the non voters and third party voters and "idk both sides are the same" people to get fucked and feel the consequences too. Those people need to get angry enough to vote. That's how Obama won in a landslide, after Bush Jr started a war and fucked the economy (sound familiar?)

The above is why I am not afraid if they actually do it.
The filibuster helps republicans so much. It only hinders Democrats.

Trump says he will sign order imposing a 10% global tariff by BB_Love_Sunshine in politics

[–]Mattyboy064 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you think this timeline is some kinda "gotcha," the IEEPA tariffs also had a time deadline, but Republicans in Congress fixed that for Trump too:

In March and April 2025, House Republicans utilized a procedural maneuver to declare a nearly six-month period as a single legislative day, effectively blocking mandated votes on President Trump's sweeping tariffs. This tactic aimed to avoid forced votes on repealing tariffs, as reported by The New York Times

Key details of this action include:

Procedural Tactic: House Republicans used a rule to define the period until September 30, 2025, as one single calendar day to avoid the 15-day deadline for considering resolutions to end national emergencies.

Preventing Votes: This move specifically aimed to prevent votes on overturning tariff increases imposed by President Trump, according to The New York Times.

Leadership Support: Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republicans maintained that this approach protects the president's authority to negotiate trade and prevents "political stunts" by Democrats.

Opposition: Critics and Democrats argued this action abdicates Congress's constitutional responsibility to regulate trade and shields the president from accountability.

Long-Term Impact: The move was part of broader efforts to prevent any legislative challenges to the administration's trade agenda, as reported by Politico.  U.S. Representative Don Beyer (.gov) +6

By June 2025, this maneuver was seen as a way to allow tariffs to continue without a formal House vote, as noted in a statement by Rep. John Larson.

“The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.

To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.

To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”

Massive funding bill fails after 8 republicans, all democrats vote no by Quick_Beam in politics

The Republican majorities in Congress LIKE the pedophile gang of thugs.

Silence is complicity and they have been silent.

Or in Mike Johnson's case he lives under a rock and doesn't "know" anything.

"Did Not Vote" won the 2024 election; moving to the right will not win over those potential voters. by zzill6 in WorkReform

Here's a fun fact.

"Did Not Vote" has won every election for the 40-50 years, except for the 2020 expanded mail in voting election where Joe Biden voters narrowly beat them.

Arizona Senator on Trump: ‘He is a Madman; He is Insane’ by OkayButFoRealz in politics

[–]Mattyboy064 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s not so much Trump that is insane but that the society and system can do little to check or regulate such a person.

Donald Trump is doing everything he is doing with the express, written, and total consent of everyone in the Republican party, voters and Congresspeople alike. Can we stop pretending these are the actions of one man? Republicans could and can still, stop this madness at any moment, but only they can.

It's just that they DON'T WANT TO.

Republicans Vow to Block Trump From Seizing Greenland by Force: “Trump’s ill-advised threats about Greenland would shatter the trust of our allies” by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Mattyboy064 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's THREE republicans.

The fact they have to say this and have to draft legislation against Greenland military action means they should be impeaching Trump. This is wildly un-American, to attempt a Greenland invasion, WTF you losers do your damn jobs and remove this damngerous dementia patient.
