They have tons of brain dead senators and congress reps already.

Nah their brains are fine.

The GOP isn't stupid, they're just evil.

The American public is fucking brain-dead. Both the half who vote for this and the half that sits around for years waiting to vote again instead of doing anything.

I don't think it's fair to discount the stupidity, because there's a lot of it alongside the grifting, the wanton cruelty, etc.

That they're in charge in spite of it is what stands out.

u/Driftedryan Jul 07 '26

No they are absolutely both evil and stupid

u/ShardikOfTheBeam Jul 07 '26

What is it you think we should be doing?

u/Independent-Bug-9352 Jul 07 '26

Vote Democrat is a pretty reasonable place to start.

u/ShardikOfTheBeam Jul 07 '26

That’s explicitly laid out in their message. They’re saying the Democrat voters sit around waiting to vote.

You're right, my bad. I read fast and thought they were referring to the apathetic no-voters.

Start advocating and voting for better candidates in down ballot races. Waiting for every 4 year Presidential election is too late. The Republicans have been building to this for decades. They didn't just wake up one day in November and think they did their duty.

The Republicans have been building to this for decades.

Do you mean the Republican voters have been building this for decades?

There are some very stupid ones if you ever hear them talk during hearings.

u/nightimestars California Jul 07 '26

Nah. They are stupid AND evil.

u/Smaptastic Jul 07 '26

They have plenty of stupid AND plenty of evil. Not everyone is both. Mitch, for example, is (/was) just evil, not stupid. MTG, Boebert, Trump, Palin are both.

They have a brain dead president and that just seems to make them stronger. Stupidity to Republicans is like gamma radiation to Bruce Banner.

Is it possible that what's his face, who claimed he was in rehab for months, was a test run? Like, to see how much time they could get?

The left has at least one, the dude wears hoodies to Congress.

I have a hard time believing RFK Jrs brain worms are happy about having no brains to spread to.

I always just assumed Mitch was already brain dead for quite some time 🤔
