Democratic Congressperson does something to annoy the Right-mainstream media talks about it for a week and it’s headline news. Republicans screw over their country and constituents? Fucking crickets.

Nobody can match the gumption of the GOP. A bunch of people who are in the racial and religious majority, holding the presidency and a majority in Congress, yet still somehow believing that they are being persecuted. They get a 50-meter head start in the 100-meter dash and are crying that they only won by 49 meters. Clearly somebody behind them is getting too good of a deal.

Kerry responded, "Are you serious? I mean this is really a serious happening here?"[63][a]"

I'll 100% believe that Texas is teetering purple - it's for the same reason that Repubs are trying to deny votes to, let's say, people with enhanced amounts of melanin.
