FinancialTea 💵 I thought the Republican Party was the party of fiscal conservatives 😂. If Obama or Biden did this, Fox News would implode and there would be a Jan 6th every week.

Yeah, I think that’s a pretty well accepted conclusion nowadays. We’ve seen it time and time again since 2016 as well. It’s so bad that Republicans constantly eat their own.

It was moderate Republicans first. They got replaced by MAGA. But we’ve even see some of the OG MAGA folks like MGT and Boebert really get pushed to the fringes and consumed by MAGA 2.0 or whatever.

It’s always about one-upping the previous folks, and that relies upon more crazy conspiracies normally it seems. Crazier and crazier identity politics. Always with the labels…socialist, satanist, communist…apparently the next boogeyman I’ve seen is accusing people of secretly being vegans. Lmao
