Right. They don’t support it unless it has a direct benefit for them.

When a "leader" uncritically supports Imperial edicts that promulgate oligarchy, authoritarian rule, misogyny, homophobia, racism, hate, war and general destruction of the Constitution. (and more)

And expects the same from the OTHER cult members.

Leader, like Jim Jones?

That'll show them!

What they are really angry with is that they are being forced to have an actual voting record -- they cannot hide behind Maga Mike Moron not bringing something to the floor for a vote.

They know their positions are overwhelmingly unpopular -- so they want to prevent giving people what they want and need and blame it on the democrats. This process forces them to go on the record as being as evil as they really are.

To paraphrase what Platner said last night, "Make them show us if they are representatives of the people or of the people who BOUGHT THEM"

i’m assuming that most of the losers r ppl who r insufficiently loyal to the orange god.
poor babies, forced to do their jobs.
cd b fun.

They hate seeing "little people" banding together to leverage their power.

They hate unions, too.

UNTIL things don't go their way, when they lose the majority vote, lose public support, or lose the debate !
Then they commence to lying, cheating, stealing, and all manner of subverting the very democracy they claim to revere.

Their lips say that they love democracy; their actions say the country exists for the benefit of the wealthy privileged and the white . . .
such as gerrymandering, voter suppression, stripping voter rights and return to Jim Crow, control of the media, outright racist policies.
They hate half of the people in the country and see many of them as "lesser", as you said.
They can't tolerate disagreement, dissent, or dissonance.
Their true love is not for the country, it is for POWER: imposing their will and worldview on everyone, which is tyranny and fascism.
Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller, JD Vance and President Caligula don't give a shit about democracy.
When you have the power you can persecute your enemies, abuse people with impunity, enrich yourself, and avoid accountability.
They frame everything in the context of "fighting a war" and absolutes and "life-and-death" with no room for compromise or consideration.
This mindset guarantees they will never admit to being wrong or losing :

The election was rigged
Fake news
It's Obama's fault
It's Biden's fault
The economy is better when Republicans are in charge (factually the opposite of reality)
The defense of the country is better when Republicans are in charge (total BS, 9/11 happened under the incompetence of Bush the lesser)
Antifa was responsible for Jan 6th BUT the people who were convicted should be pardoned and given money.

Punishment for not voting on party lines is pure, undiluted fascism. It makes a total mockery of the term "representative" and renders the house totally irrelevant

It forces them to go ON THE RECORD and vote for something they know their voters DON'T want, or they have to vote against something their voters DO want.

Voters have a way of remembering stuff, unlike most of the Repukes in Congress.
