Yeah the amount of gas lighting and mental gymnastics is astounding. I stopped wasting energy listening to these clowns. Just call them for what they are and disengage and place a mirror in front of them so they can gaslight themselves.

I have a cousin, whos kinda weird, but he comments like that hoping to be picked up as a up incoming republican by the true government. Fuck years who his mom and i were drinking in the middle of trumps term, and she says.... that he will make a great general when the next civil war comes....

These crazy posters probably have a similar mind set. Its honestly revolting.

I mostly just hear screeching about genocide (but only when criticizing democrats, never about republicans). I've noticed that I've started racking up bans on various communities for calling out such bad-faith arguments.

The voters are supposed to hold them accountable. It's just rotten from the bottom up.

Remember: anything Democrats do is bad. That is literally ALL that these fucking shills care about. Spin spin spin. They look at any topic and think, "how can we spin this to attack Democrats?"

They get the point. They're deflecting.

Still need infrastructure for mass transit.

Busses still need roads and rails need maintenance.

Infrastructure doesn't necessarily mean roads. Although I haven't heard of anyone using this money to make public transportation better I have heard stories of cities using this money to improve pedestrian and bike infrastructure.

You're right but that's not really the point of this post

Look at TANF.

Give any control to states of federal funding and it's the most vulnerable who suffer.

And that creates a whole load of angry people suffering who tend to fall for rhetoric blaming others for their problems.

Republicans gain votes by making people angry, poor, and powerless.

If the Democrats want to flip a swing state the best way to do it is making people better off.

The fact Republicans then try to get credit is irrelevant. If Republicans need to say how much "they" improved things it's them saying how positive things are and evidence the damaging messages the party usually spews are failing. This representative is panicking because of the infrastructure bills effect.

The best way to fix this is to have a sign as you enter the highway system on how your representative voted.

I begged for COVID checks to have the same.

Something simple like:

This highway goes through congressional districts 6, 9, and 12. Representatives Asshole, Dingus, and Cunt (respectively) voted against it.
