38. Their excuse is their next election prospects

Sun Jan 26, 2025, 02:52 PM

Sunday

They’ll say the Republicans had the votes to get it done so they didn’t want to alienate Trumpers, MAGAts, etc, when the next election comes around. The assume that no matter how bad they are, we’ll support them simply for the D next to their name. It’s easy to see that most of all they care about themselves. No profiles in courage here.
