After years of reading about the rethugs throwing hissifits

and conniptions, it is my humble opinion that they are doing it for one and only one purpose: to get and keep their voters pissed off at the Democrats. Since they don't have much to say, the only way they can get some people to support them is to "be against the other party." A lot of their moron voters may not know what the repukes are doing or what the Democrats are doing, but they sure know how to vote against "the other party."

So, AFAIC, all these hissifits are just moron-level theater.

Rinse, repeat. Not sure why their supporters don't see what's clearly happening, but most don't pay attention at all, much less follow the actual goings on in government, locally or nationally. Add the literal false news they think they are hearing, and it's a recipe for ... not sure, have to watch the next episode, sigh

It just solidifies the cult.

Over and out.
