The Democratic National Convention ( DNC ) of this week provides a stirring moment in contemporary American politics, not for the reason that some people might believe.
Democrats have created much mad to ten times as many as a day. The listing of left-wing extremists coming out of the agreement is growing by the second, with participants receiving free abortions and mammograms and boasting about using lawfare to attack their political rivals.
And what, you may ask, are Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republicans doing this week to counter-message this lunacy?
Nearly nothing.
While Democrats espouse their radicalism to the country, Republicans could n’t even be bothered to stay in Washington, D. C. Most representatives are currently back in their districts as part of Congress’s annual” August recess” and wo n’t return to town until Sept. 9.
If Johnson and the GOP’s administration really cared about using their majority to make a opposing vision from the one produced by Democrats, they would make it work. This entails spending the summer break holding regular congressional hearings that highlight the magnitude of the ongoing border war and making a case for the American people to be denied revenue next quarter unless the Biden-Harris management addresses the crisis.
But Republicans are n’t doing any of that.
When they are rushing to the nearest Fox News cameras to express how dangerous the modern left has become when they are n’t tweeting performative indignation about what Democrats are saying at the DNC.
” Vote Democrat to keep America”! According to the House GOP, since winning the bulk nearly two years ago, a myriad of Democrat objectives have been funded.
The brutal truth is that Johnson and the majority of Republicans are silent about their constituents or the nation’s Democrat-made problems and fear no consequences for aiding Democrats ‘ extremism. And they do n’t have much reason to.
Most Republican electors do n’t bother showing up for the GOP primaries despite their obfuscated dissatisfaction with Congress. In many cases, Donald Trump’s campaign encourages coalitions of the same divisions who claim to approve of their legislative leaders by re-electing those same people.
But, where does this leave us?
Republicans have no motivation to abide by their wishes and support Democrats on the issues that problem, when they matter, if they know their citizens are unlikely to chastise them for their losses. Likewise, Democrats have no opportunity to lower their positions on any given area. They are aware that Republicans are not a genuine political party and will support any significant coverage debate.
Democrats are aware that Republicans lack the resolve to overturn despotic policies that were put in place during their term of power and that voters will support them when the political swinging shifts back in their prefer. A federal bureaucracy that is overly politically organized even benefits them, making them more progressive yet when a Democrat is n’t in office.
This model is being publicly acknowledged at the DNC this month. Democrats are aware that the most troubled aspects of their view can be exposed to the American populace, and insipid Republicans will not have long-term effects from this. Their willingness to take the long view has led to a further aversion for America from the legal framework that the Founders established into an extremely unremarkable dystopia.
There’s only one political force playing to win in America, and it sure as heck is n’t the Republican Party.
