(#5472) The republican party wants it both ways on border security/insecurity

      Threatening the federal government and Supreme Court, the renegades in Texas that are supposed to be Americans are willing to physically clash with American troops about border security. The thing is though that republicans in Congress are against a bipartisan negotiated border deal that they perceive would help Joe Biden in his reelection campaign. So they want border security and they don't want border security! So which is it republicans? You want to blame Biden for not getting a secure border but you don't want Biden to get a secure border. It must be nice to gin up a conflict that you alone are responsible for creating and then blame Biden and democrats for it.
     Under normal times it would be ludicrous to even attempt such a visible contradiction with a straight face but as we all know these are not normal times. I suppose when your political party, republicanism, is not a policy driven party but instead an attacking and deceptive one it is within the realm of possibility that talking out of one side of your mouth while saying the opposite out of the other side is acceptable to them. Will it be acceptable to the American electorate? I still say no but I have been wrong before and surely will be wrong again in the future. To me though this is just another failed attempt by republicans to force a reaction by democrats that they can then try to turn into their favor and move on from their original illogical stance.
     That the republican party has failed to be a serious counterpart to democrats in solving current and future problems is on them, not anyone else. They have chosen a path of deceit and chaos to hopefully pass their horrible agenda of destroying safeguards built within our democracy to keep it from becoming an autocracy. They would also destroy our economic system by catering to the wealthy while diminishing programs that keep our working middle poor class out of poverty. The republican agenda as to our economy, democracy, and with many social issues, like women's rights and health care, is out of step with freedom, liberty, equality, and the pursuit of happiness. That is their choice and now we all will have a choice ourselves come November 5, 2024.
