Episode #43 of The Banter Podcast is now out! You can listen by pressing the play button above. Show notes: Ben's impeachment trial bet with Mike is in trouble after 45 Republicans vote "aye" to declare Donald Trump's trial unconstitutional. The vote provides more evidence that the GOP is still the party of the Orange Blob.
Marjorie Taylor Greene and others like her are the logical conclusion of a party that has no solutions and operates purely within the boundaries of an stagnant ideology. I remember seeing political advertisements from various conservative candidates that would shoot printed volumes of legislation like the ACA. So not only do they "kill" an idea (they didn't) they get to promote their abusive love affair with guns...it may as well have been a "Two for Tuesday" radio ad. Now here we are. We have elected members of Congress who have threatened ballistic harm on other elected members trying to bring guns to the floor of the chamber. In the era of insurrection (likely coordinated with members of Congress!), stand your ground, and violence as a solution it doesn't take much imagination to see the next logical conclusion. That, my friends, would be the epitome of "cancel culture". We can't unite with people trying to eliminate our rights if not our lives. If there is no justice there can be no unity and there can be no peace.
