āOur willingness to self-mutilate on these things really impairs our ability to get the job done. Letās do the math here, Charlie. We have a four vote majority, right? Now weāve kicked out George Santos, we have a three vote majority.
āCongressman Bill Johnson of Ohio has taken a college university presidency. That knocks us down to two and I donāt think Kevin McCarthy is gonna stick around long. Every image of his office shows that heās packing things up in boxes.
āSo we could be down to a one-seat majority! We got a bunch of these octogenarians in our conference and God forbid any of them were to cross the rainbow bridge.
āThe fact that a bunch of Republicans want to enforce some ethical standards is really getting in the way of our goal of establishing a Fascist Dictatorshipā¦ā
The GOP tried to establish their dictatorship and failed. The normal progression after you get your strongman into power is to start a series of internal pogroms based on the daily purity test. Essentially, the people who are the most strident and extreme without your power bloc begin tearing down anyone and anything that stops them from continuing to consolidate power into an ever smaller group. Since this is supposed to begin after you gain the authoritarian rule, you can basically do it with impunity since thereās no minority party internal or external to your group to stop you and wrest power back.
Because their coup failed, theyāre now going through a round of purity tests without having removed the minority party so itās just a self destruction of their party. The risk is that they continue to winnow down their numbers internally, but the voters of the nation just donāt care that the GOP is a party of insurrectionist traitors and actually votes them more seats. If that happens, or if they just decide to do it without the majority of seats anyway, they get to try coup #2.
In either case, weāre dealing with an ongoing coup attempt in the US by one of the major parties.
Donāt worry Gaetz, Democrats wonāt use a majority to do anything anyway.
No theyāll insist that the Republicans should actually have the majority and itās only fair to wait

Yeah, donāt want anyone to know heās a brony.
We already know heās from Whoville.

Is Gaetz pretending heās not directly responsible for McCarthy possibly leaving?
Look, weāre all trying to figure out who did this
gaetz the pig who learned to wear a suit
And use Venmo
House republicans should all choke to death, slowly. Before the election.
