So it really has come to blatant "fuck you we're not pretending to play by any rules of courtesy and custom anymore", and yet it goes on largely unopposed.

Decorum is dead, by most reports I see the left outnumber the right by a sizable margin, stop playing nice.

You'd think that in a country with that many guns, they'd be a bit more careful with pulling all this traitorous shit

While that may be true non of this will be fixed until shit like fox and Facebook are reduced to memory with their leaders and talking heads reduced to meat piles.

Ehh, the GOP does care what their base thinks of them, that's why they're doing all those podcasts. DNC is happy to say vote or die with little concern what their base thinks. Maybe if more Dems owned guns that would change, but I'm not so sure.

Hopefully all this back-n-forth bullshit will eventually lead to a total ban on all gerrymandering, by both sides. Maybe even ending up with a system where one person equals one vote.

He needs a special session to deal with that gaping neck pussy.

I sometimes use the phrase "fuck you in the neck" as an insult, and it's most appropriate with this chud.
