Watch out OP, don't you know that if you criticize the government in any way with a D as president you're basically a white supremacist neo-Nazi?
Just because the republican party is a cult doesn't mean the democrat party is. That's called projection. Most democrats I know will tell you that Biden is a senile old shitsack who never should have been president except the alternative was the XXL facist umpaloompa.

Democrats don't fall in line like idiots. The still criticize their government.
My favorite take is "Conservatives love their country like a child loves their parent. It's the best and perfect and smart. Liberals love their country like an adult loves their peer. They see their flaws, too, and want to work together to improve."
Anarcho-capitalists hate the state like an adult that grew up with abusive parent(s) detests them. They're realizing somebody is doing something to them against their will, without any right to whatsoever...
Well, that's pretty dumb in the first place, but then makes even less sense as this is criticizing actions of Republicans.
Not just Republicans.
The bill passed 226-196, with 12 Democrats voting for it and two Republicans voting against.
So… 214 republicans and 12 democrats.
That shows Democrats aren't against it on principle, I think.
Fucking laughable take
Oh really? If the record showed 0 votes from Dems, I'd agree.
You are letting perfect be the enemy of progress
How, exactly?
The votes clearly show that one party in general supported the measure, and one party in general did not. You want 0 votes, and that's basically never gonna happen in politics.
No, the votes do not show that. The votes show that members of one party voted for the measure in more numbers than the other. The votes also show that both parties voted for it.
A party agreeing on a matter cannot happen? Maybe you can't see that happen if you have little knowledge of how ideologies actually work, but this to me only showcases how similar the parties actually are. If their fundamental axioms were different from Republicans, there would be no chance of them agreeing on a single thing. The simple fact is, they're not actually that different.
Why are you talking like political parties have to vote in unison and that one person from a party showcases the beliefs of every single other person in that party?
Am I? Or am I saying that a party should have a unifying philosophy distinct from other parties?
I think they objected to to the IRS spending cuts more than the military aid part.
If you criticize the few good/decent policies that are being passed/proposed, maybe. But at least from what I've seen, especially online, Biden and any other (D) being pushed on the people aren't seen as some savior. In fact I would argue almost the opposite. I think many Democrats see Biden and the rest of the moderates being passed off as Democrats as simply the lesser of two evils.
Likewise, just because a candidate has an (R) next to their name doesn't automatically make them evil. Their public stance and proposed policies are what make 90+% of them evil. I couldn't give two shits what letter appears next to Trump, Desantis, McConnell, etc. They're not bad people because they run under the Republican party, they're bad people because they're very explicitly against Americans that can't afford to pay them enough to pretend to care. Donald Trump almost ran as a Democrat years before he actually ran as a Republican and guess what? He's the same asshole either way that never would have gotten my vote.
So yes, if you agree with white supremacist neo-Nazi policies and ideals, or disagree with policies intended to defeat white supremacist neo-Nazi ideals, I will most certainly assume that you are a white supremacist neo-Nazi. This honestly shouldn't be that difficult to understand. And that honestly makes me think you're simply a troll but I guess I'll take the bait. In case it's not perfectly obvious by now, fuck Biden. But fuck white supremacist neo-Nazis more. Like for real, it would not be difficult at all to get a fuckton of "Democrats" to vote (R) if y'all could put up some half-ass decent candidates instead of the backwater scum y'all currently idolize. But instead of doing that and actually running candidates that stand by the true conservative ideology (what ever happened to sticking up for personal rights and small government?) most candidates (Democrats and Republicans alike) only stand by whatever will gain them the most.
I would even go so far to say that I would probably fall more under the old conservative ideology with some liberal tendencies, but I will NOT support anyone that wants to disenfranchise, discriminate, and take away personal liberties. I'm not LGBTQ+, I'm not trying to get an abortion, I don't have kids to worry about schools or lunches; I'm a straight white cis male with a Christian background that would largely be personally unaffected by any of the current Republican stances, but I do have at least a tiny bit of empathy and that's enough to see that just because someone isn't the same as me doesn't make them any less human than me. To suggest anything else is simply fucked up and evil. AND goes againstliterally everything in my Christian upbringing. So given the choice of supporting the modern Christo-fascist, or voting for literally anyone else provided they have some principles and empathy, I know who's getting my support every time without a doubt.

Counter argument: Anyone who willingly associates with the Republican party in 2023 evokes the "If you see a table with ten nazis and willingly join them, you have a table of eleven nazis" saying. Anyone who's willingly identifying as a Republican in 2023 is some combination of stupid and evil.
The rest of your post is fine.
Edit: made the same typo, twice.
To think that half of my peers are below average is a terrifying thought. It surprises me how low the average must actually be for there to be such a wide apparent support for some policies.

On the other hand, the only way to make a burning shithole better is for the good people to stay.
Maybe. I don't think there's any saving the Republican party. It's been rotten since at least the southern strategy. Forming a new party would be the way to go.
So, you're a brainwashed religious nutbag. Sad.
Wut
That's all you gathered from a four paragraph post is that I had a Christian background? I never even claimed to still be religious lmao
Go find somewhere else to troll.
You made it clear. Without a need. Thus, enough info to label you a brainwashed waste of oxygen.
