    Jim Jordan wants the gavel because he thinks he can brute force democrats into what he wants. He daydreams about big cuts and “anti-woke” bills and the atta-boys he thinks he’ll get as a result from trump.

    All these chest pounders on the right truly believe the things they want don’t happen because “someone simply isn’t brave enough to stand up for it.” That’s what makes them dangerous. “Old guard” republicans chest pound to fire up the vote then cause some havoc but nothing like we’re seeing now.

      Honestly I think Jordan just likes to smell his own farts (metaphorically speaking).

      He doesn’t care about policy, and is 100% comfortable (and perhaps prefers) being a minority party; that way nobody expects any actual work to be done while he and his allies lob turds at Democrats and grift the base.
