He's literally married to a CCP agent.

So, fuck Mitch McConnell.

Trust me, the "zealots" have plans for Mitch McConnell too.

The only thing he was ever good at was getting judges confirmed. But as SCOTUS should us recently, that doesn't matter.

Why do you think such a thing would sway me and anyone else?

The republican party is messed up with a severe schism. I see the party splitting in two with a portion going moderate and the other portion heading to Trumpian lands.

This from the most powerful republican in the Senate. Speaks fucking volumes.

Oh no no no, even though folks like him have set idly by and watched trump do whatever he wants to do or even helped him out doing it, they'll probably be calling him a RINO or some ish soon enough. Maybe when trump declassifies everything we'll all discover that *gasp* bitch mcConnell has always been some undercover "lib'rul" who's part of the deep state! And that he has ALWAYS had it in for agent orange! That sounds about right when it comes to some of the hilarious yet nonsensical & conspiratorial bulls#!t that passes for "truth" & "proof" for some of these folks these days, right?

Ideologically, tell me, what is the difference between a "moderate" Republican and a Trumper?

I don't think it will sway you at all. I just wanted to happily point out that Trump has now cost the republicans major private and corporate stakeholders who will no longer contribute to errant causes.

OK.

Political power doesn't come from corporations. It doesn't come from donors.

It comes from the people.

Good. Maybe they will listen to their voters instead of their donors.

Every democratic candidate for years to come will show video of the Capitol being invaded and overrun by Trump supporters in their crazy unfounded beliefs they could actually do something. What they did accomplish was jailtime and going on FBI wanted lists as well as destroying any kind of empathy people had for their cause.

Keep on believing that in corporate America.

Well hey, what did you expect? Lol just look at any good cult movie if you need a point of reference. Spoiler alert, and never goes well for those trying to escape the cult. Like Mike Pence before him, Mitch McConnell is getting to the point of the movie where he's trying to escape the cult and all the hugs, smiles, orgies and idyllic visions and Landscapes are about to turn into the dark & horrific blood-soaked scenes filled with heart pounding panic as you're trying to get away in one piece from your former cult mates! Welp, have fun with that mitch! You helped make that bed, so deal with the bugs in it.
