What's the point, GOP?



So the DC crowd is going after Trump on J6th. The strategy has already been discussed in many places. The idea is to disqualify Trump from holding office again. The DC crowd wants to call J6th an insurrection, and have it fall under the 14th amendment disqualification enacted during the Civil War Era. It is a gimmick being used to eliminate Trump as an opponent. If they really didn't fear Trump, then why do it? But that is not what this post is about.

The problem is that there are so many on the GOP side that do not want to do anything about this.

So I mention this in conversations, and the response is something like "we'd get the blame". Then why have an opposition party at all? If the entire point is to rubber stamp everything you don't like, then why bother voting? What's the point? I say the House has the power of the purse, and they could just defund the entire business that the DOJ is running here. If the Dems want to do it, then they pay for it themselves. But no, we'd get blamed for it. That's what I hear.

Either I'm right, or they're right. If I'm right, then the House should just shut it down. The GOP would get blamed for it, but so what? Why was the GOP voted in but to stop this kind of thing? If they aren't voted in to stop this kind of thing, they what's the point in voting for them? You can get the same thing by having the Democrats in there.

If they're right, then all you can do is bitch. That's because if you do anything, you'd get the blame. Again, why should anybody in the GOP give a shit about that? Just speaking for myself, I didn't vote for them just to have a shoulder to cry on. I expect things to be done. What I don't expect is the fear that if you do what you said you'd do, then that would be bad. If you won't do anything about it, then button up your pie hole. Frankly, it comes across as a baby that whines and cries all the time. Well, boo freaking hoo.

The question is what good is the GOP if they'll do what the Democrats would do anyway?

I see no reason to vote this time around. The GOP isn't giving anybody any reason to vote for them.
