If youβre continuously stunned by the behavior of gerrymandered GOP representatives in the world of Citizens United, donβt be.
Hereβs how to think of them:
They are no longer public servants.
Improving public outcomes is not their goal. Nor do they do better in lifeβ¦

This is a fruit of Christian Nationalism & policy lust.
Lila's CN vote, driven by her policy lust to "end" abortion made her hold the hand of a felon, rapist, and self-confessed molester. Her choice now makes her complicit, also, in Tate's evil.
CN and policy lust ... not even once.

Just for kicks, I built a simple web scraper to pull the data on doge.gov/savings so I could tally the numbers provided. DOGE currently claims they've saved about $55B. But if you add the rows up, it's more like $7B.
Unless they're hiding data re: $48B, this is sloppy work on their part.

The heartbreak.
Trump claims USAID is bankrupting Americaβitβs less than 1% of the budget. Meanwhile, the worldβs richest man, Elon Musk, is gutting the largest food aid provider. He could end world hunger & still be the richest man alive. But he wonβt.
Not just greed. Weβre watching evil at work.

Meet the Billionaire and Rising GOP Mega-Donor Whoβs Gaming the Tax System
Susquehanna founder and TikTok investor Jeff Yass has avoided $1 billion in taxes while largely escaping public scrutiny. Heβs now pouring his money into campaigns to cut taxes and support electionβ¦
After Trump proposed a TikTok ban in 2020, billionaire TikTok investor Jeff Yass gave millions to anti-Biden campaigns. Trump later announced his support for a deal in which U.S. firms would buy stakes in ByteDance, with Yassβ partner among the proposed members of a new board.

Juxtaposition of a news article from 2020 about Trump banning til tok and a recent Truth social post from him saying save TikTok
Not only did Trump start this whole TikTok ban thing when he was president, but it was his Supreme Court who saw it through. Now heβs pretending to be its savior and his followers are buying it hook, line, and sinker. Genuinely, how are Americans so forgetful?

Exploiting tragedy is part of the GOP playbook. Helping victims is not.
