Does anyone not find it strange that an entire state is openly and violently rebelling and nothing has been done. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills

I hope it's spinelessness. I'm starting to lose faith that Republicans actually want the problem solved. Hanlon's Razor is taking a beating lately
Republicans never wanted to solve any problems, which is why Trump was so disruptive to the party. He represented the first time in generations that a Republican was anything other than purely performative opposition.
I was coping a little bit. I meant the current version of Trump, although I'm still holding out hope.
But he never actually did anything, did he? He said a lot of junk, got absolutely nothing done in his first term (muh lawfare) and completely flipped on all his points in the second.
Trump ran as a Democrat in the primaries against Obama; he's nothing but performative.
There's a missing piece to this equation. If he's just more of exactly what the Republican party always serves up then why didn't the establishment Republicans just welcome him into the fold? Why was there so much wailing and gnashing of teeth and sustained attempts to discredit him? If he's just one more ineffectual Mitt Romney or Jeb Bush type then why get all riled up over his entry into the political arena? I don't think it's as simple as "oh he's not a career politician". I don't recall there being any sort of vitriol from Republicans over say Arnold Schwarzenegger's entry into politics, but with Trump he was taking flak from all angles. There must be a reason for that and I think the reason is that he represented a real threat to the status quo of refusing to do fuck all for the American people.
I'm willing to entertain the idea that he has been ineffectual, but I think there was genuine intent to do good for the American people.
Republicans lol
I have real bad news for you about the last 80 years
