This election was the best thing that could happen to Republicans

1) Winning back the House enables Repulicans to block Biden's catastrophic big brother legislation as well as to set some of the legislative agenda. It also allows for hearings on some of the misdeeds of the current administration.

2) When the shit hits the fan over the Biden policies the Democrats won't be able to blame a Republican congress. The Republicans were not the "dog that caught the car".

3) Trump was seriously damaged. The Trump mystique, to the extent it still existed, may now be gone. This will allow serious Republican candidates to emerge and compete using conservative ideas to bring our society back to sanity.

Happy trolling! 😋

Biden’s policies are actually popular, so I’m not seeing it.

@Fukfacewillie Biden's approval rating is atrocious. The Dems won the Senate despite him. Even Michelle Obama won't endorse him.

Fukfacewillie · 56-60, M

@irishmolly72 No question about the approval rating. I don’t think he inspires the vitriol you are anticipating, though. The individual polices poll pretty well except for student debt. I was against that myself.

@Fukfacewillie The vitriol will start with the upcoming recession and possible financial crisis. These are Biden's "good times". They won't last another two years. IMHO

@irishmolly72 We shall see!

@Fukfacewillie Maybe some Republicans will join Manchin and form some kind of center alliance or even a centrist party. Who knows. I wish the Simpson-Bowles project could have gone forward.

@irishmolly72 I’d love a centrist party. Doesn’t seem likely..

irishmolly72 · 56-60, F

@Fukfacewillie You and me are a start. We'll call ourselves the "Centrist Pervert Party". 😬

Fukfacewillie · 56-60, M

@irishmolly72 Ha! I’m all in.

@Fukfacewillie Welcome to the CPP!

OggggO · 36-40, M

@irishmolly72 We already have a centrist party. They call themselves the Democrats.

irishmolly72 · 56-60, F

@OggggO You just made milk come out my nose! 😂

OggggO · 36-40, M

@irishmolly72 It's not a joke. By any sane measure, the vast majority of Dems are center-right to center.

irishmolly72 · 56-60, F

@OggggO Yes, and I guess this lady gets to define what a "sane measure" is:

@irishmolly72 Well, thanks for that completely unnecessary pivot to transphobia. Saves me the time of thinking you're worth convincing of anything.

irishmolly72 · 56-60, F

@OggggO Yes, your time might be better spent with your psychiatrist.
