There are no moderate Republicans in the House of Representatives.
Oh, no doubt some members are privately appalled by the views of Mike Johnson, the new speaker. But what they think in the privacy of their own minds isn’t important. What matters is what they do — and every single one of them went along with the selection of a radical extremist.
Yeah enjoy the civil unrest and insecurity. Remember the toilet paper nonsense when covid kicked off? There are members of congress who’ve openly talked about political violence being inevitable. Things will probably get much worse before they get better.
I’ve been legitimately telling my trans/PoC/whatever friends that now is the time to arm yourself and start networking with like-minded people because the right has been doing it for decades.

I for one am not looking forward to going underground and trying to survive/resist the Christian Fascism that’s trying to grow up in America. Go vote and take your friends with you. Agitate for change, the silent majority never existed, they’re just a loud minority.
