Politics isn’t a sporting event, where the 1980s Lakers and Celtics at their peak provide stellar entertainment. Republicans are a radical far-right authoritarian movement, and no one benefits when they thrive.
Robyn and I break down what it means now that Republicans have rallied behind “Scarier Ralph Reed,” and why did so many people not even know who the guy was before last week?

Saying "We need a strong GOP" is like saying "every vital organ needs a LITTLE malignant cancer."
I'm late to the party, but I just want to point out that the House Republicans' unanimous vote for this Christofascist Mike Johnson is a sign of weakness, not of strength. His tenure as Speaker will be a one-way ticket on the fail train, and the GOP will pay for it in 2024.
