Dan Pfeiffer: “To summarize, Johnson demands a border bill in exchange for passing Ukraine aid; the White House and Senate work on a border bill; Johnson opposes the bill without even seeing it, despite repeatedly declaring that the ‘crisis at the border’ is the House GOP’s top priority.”
“Some commentary suggests that Johnson keeps moving the goalpost to prevent his caucus from having to vote on Ukraine aid, which is vehemently opposed by MAGA Republicans but enthusiastically supported by the Republican establishment and more moderate GOPers. With Johnson in perpetual danger of being McCarthy-ed, I am sure avoiding a tough vote is a factor. However, I think Johnson and the Republicans have another more nefarious reason — they want a crisis at the border to help them in the election.”
Fascists deliberately create chaos so they can try to sell you the idea that they’re the only ones who can end the chaos.
Back in the day, the Nazis would hold rallies in Communist neighborhoods. There’d be a riot, and the Nazis would make sure the locals got the blame. “Only a strong leader can prevent this chaos.”
Agreed, and these sick fascists have no problem streamrolling right over the people who vote them into office. It’s amazing how many americans are willing to slit their own throats.
