The people who have voted against McCarthy are MAGAs. Some of them were associated with the insurrection. Also, over half of them voted against certification of the Biden electors AFTER the J6 attack on the Capitol. Their holdout votes have forced McCarthy to give in to so many demands that, even if he gets the Speaker title, he will have no real power. The MAGAs will control him.
So half of our nation's legislature is under MAGA control.
The Speaker is 2nd in line for the presidency.
House Republicans have removed the prohibition against carrying arms to the floor of the House.
So the House of Representatives is being run by armed MAGAs.
What could possibly go wrong?
thought, the enemy is within.
This will not end well for them.

(21,633 posts)They are now inside the House with the control over part of the government that they failed to get control of by force on J6.
My hopefulness is in how prepared and aware our president and Dem Senators and House members are.
party is united and they were ready for this arrogance and ignorance.
I hope our President's health is good, I worry about him.
