Politics is a game of give and take. For a government to function, there must be compromise and the willingness to work with the other side.
The latest news from the capitol is that Representative Liz Cheney may be ousted from a leadership position from within the Republican party due to her open critique of you know who. While some of her colleagues within the party stand with her, there many others are blindly loyal to the former President.
There has always been a division in this country between Republican and Democrat. It is a normal and healthy part of a nation whose laws are based on Democratic principles. However, there is a distinct line between the typical political disagreement and threatening a politician because he or she does not automatically bow down and kiss the behind of “dear leader”.
I am going to end this post with a tweet from Andrea Junker because it is eerily prophetic and a warning for us all.
The modern Republican party prides itself on being “the part of small Govt,” so they ensure government is ineffective to point to that as evidence it is. The Republican party is an embodiment of Machiavellian politics, and willing to do harm so long as it is to their benefit.
