Regardless of how you measure intelligence, be it by Standford Binet, Woodcock–Johnson, RÍAS, or in the case of Trump measuring women, by breast size, people have long suspected that our congressional TeaBaggers’ collective IQs coalesce near the lowest end of the scale, along the measured intelligence levels of Pet Rocks, a sprig of broccoli, or Sarah Palin.
For eight years, this collection of morons, imbeciles, idiots, and those willfully being intellectually challenged, has ruled and ruined Congress by attacking everything and anything that does not fit within their 4th grade understanding of Ayn Rand. (the critical fact being that you can only as bright as a struggling 4th grader to grasp her idiotic ideas and presume that they actually apply in the real world). The beauty of their standard behavior is stunning in its simplicity. it is accomplished simply by saying “no.” In their own unique and understated way, they managed to win stunning defeats, grasp failure from the jaws of victory, and to squander powerful positions. It is a sad fact that this reality has existed for some time. But our Media was hamstrung by wanting A v. B. Yes vs. No. Up vs. Down. Or in the case of the TeaBuggered class, Stupid vs. Very unfuckingbelievably Stupid.
By being auto-lobomotmized purists following irrational, unworkable, and impossible policies, by preventing the adoption of any good or rational idea, even if they had previously suggested the very same thing, they guaranteed an eventual split away from the rest of the GOP (and the rest of America) leading to the ridiculous mess we now see in halls of Congress.
While we decry and bemoan our own circular firing squads, our almost extinct DINOsauers, and our own painful infighting, especially the HILLARY! vs. Bernie Bro Battles (which now seem to have been at least partially directed and made worse by the tribes of Moskva,) our spats and complaints are not even on the same scale as the past, present and soon to be our Newest Feature Attraction — the upcoming TeaBugger- GOP battles. The bases for these wars are clearly not new, although there was a great deal of apparent “success” in simply throwing sand and grit into Obama’s legislative efforts and his attempts to reach cross the aisle. Frankly, given the vehemence of their responses, I was continually shocked that we did not end up with our first one armed president. No, the split was there back then, and remains there to this day.
This type of “seeming” success caused the GOP to appear somewhat unified just by saying “No.” Even then, just look back to the anguish, pain, and angst that John Boehner suffered as house leader. The fatal split was already apparent, but circumstances permitted the "make believe" peace and cooperation within the GOP appear to actually exist. That fiction has come to a screeching, bloody, and explosive end.
The GOP no longer has any reason to unify any longer. That melatonin-enhanced, African-born, Kenyan, muslin-sporting treasonous fascist who illegally squatted in this white building on Pennsylvania Ave. no longer holds office. Even so, the GOP still tries to feebly unify around Obama, or more often, following Trumpenstein’s lead, it still is attracted to Hillary. Not “attracted" so must, except as fodder seems to be attracted to cannon fire. Yet, when the GOP tries to govern under their current Der Liederhosen, the permanent split between the Ye Olde Irrational Ones, and the rest of the GOP becomes unavoidably obvious.
So, what do idiots, morons, trailer-trash Oxy addicts do when the groping . . . GOING gets tough? Like any tough bully, they run home to mama. And for 8 years, they ran home screaming, “REPEAL O’Bummer Care!” Mama for the TeaBuggerers is Repeal and Replace. Repeal & Replace! REPEEL AND REPACE! Reap Eels and Reap lace!
That is precisely why you see a few bullshit reports (almost faux news-like) which claim that the GOP isn’t done with repeal and replace yet. It is nothing more than a small, demented group going back to its roots, and repeating what they have practiced for 8 straight years.
For them, yelling REpeal and Replace worked wonders for years. That is the only refuge they now have, especially with an incompetent, unhinged, arrogant, back-stabbing, ignorant, spoiled, and willfully uninformed crazy man in the Oval Office.
