Republicans are determined to violate every institution in this country possible.
Democratic candidates have raised far more than Republicans and can purchase ads at the cheaper rate offered to candidates. Republicans rely more heavily on independent expenditures from their campaign arm and allied super PACs, which have to pay much more per ad.
Gee, it’s almost like Republicans aren’t favored by a large proportion of the population who can donate up to the ~$3,300 federal limit directly to campaigns and have to rely on their wealthy benefactors donating much, much more per capita through side channels that shouldn’t even exist in a functional democracy.
I’m not surprised that the people at and near the top of the party are okay with the fact that they have to cheat to win, but so many of the rank and file are absolutely aware of that too and okay with it. That’s the really awful part. Millions of people happy to subvert democracy as long as they get their way.
Fuck the GOP/MAGA. They haven’t won the popular vote in decades and have never had any sort of mandate.
Remember, Fascism and Conservatives in general do not intend to ever play by the rules. This has always been the case, even in the 1800s.
They think that they are entitled to be in power because they believe they are superior to every other group. This belief stems from excessive wealth at the top levels who have the interest in removing all liability for their actions. The top wealthiest then use bigotry to trick the poorest men into supporting the wealthy man.
TV really rots your brain, especially this season once every four years.
Is there a non-paywalled version anywhere?
Is there any such thing as an ethical Republican any longer?
Not that I’m aware of
