Maybe it's a self hate thing going on?

Re: The GOP / RNC
If he wants to self-hate, OK. Maybe he should seek out mental health professionals to support him. But he is in a position to make life harder for others, and is doing so regularly. That isn't self-hate. It is oppression.

Here we have a Republican candidate attacking democracy itself. This is today's GOP.
Re: The GOP / RNC
True democracies will always end up in tyranny. That's why the USA decided they were going to be a Republic when they created the Constitution, but you knew that. I don't have to point that out to you. It's the tyranny of the majority, and fits with the story of the 2 wolves and a sheep decide what's for dinner.

Republican lawmaker announces resignation from Congress following sexual misconduct claims
BY MYCHAEL SCHNELL - 05/10/22 2:37 PM ET
https://thehill.com/news/house/3483328- ... ct-claims/
Rep. Tom Reed (R-N.Y.) announced on Tuesday that he is resigning from Congress, more than one year after a former lobbyist accused the congressman of sexual misconduct.
“After almost 12 years in Congress, today is my last day,” Reed said in remarks on the House floor. “It has been an honor to serve with you all from both parties. I love this institution, as it still exemplifies what is best about our government. We are the people’s House.”
Nicolette Davis, a former lobbyist, told The Washington Post in a story published last March that Reed had sexually harassed her four years earlier. The New York Republican apologized to Davis in a lengthy statement that month but said he had just learned about the alleged incident in the newspaper article.
In that same statement, the congressman said he would not seek any elected office in 2022.

Re: The GOP / RNC
I'm not surprised about this, tbh. The AG in ND recently died(he killed himself, but you probably won't see that reported). He was involved in corruption, some involving some sick stuff allegedly. Lots of corruption in my families' state. Won't be the last.
GOP Senator Ray Holmberg Resigns Chair After Texts to Child Porn Suspect
BY GERRARD KAONGA ON 4/22/22 AT 1:10 PM EDT
https://www.newsweek.com/ray-holmberg-w ... ts-1700053
North Dakota's longest serving state senator, Ray Holmberg, resigned on Wednesday as chairman of an influential legislative committee after it was reported that he had exchanged texts with a jailed man facing child pornography charges.
The report, by North Dakota newspaper The Forum, alleged the 78-year-old Holmberg exchanged 72 text messages with a 34-year-old jailed landscaper, Nicholas James Morgan-Derosier, who faces federal child pornography and sexual abuse charges.
In an email statement on Wednesday, Holmberg, a Republican, said he would be stepping down as chairman of Legislative Management, a committee that oversees the North Dakota Legislature's work between sessions.
"Recent events and discussions have made it clear to me that the interim governing body of the legislature, Legislative Management, does not need to be any part of that discussion," Holmberg wrote in the statement to The Forum.
"Consequently, I will be stepping down as chairman of Legislative Management, effective immediately. This will allow Vice-chairman Chet Pollert to complete my term."

Mastriano wins PA GOP Gov nomination. This is scary. He was literally at the 1/6 coup attempt and has made it clear that he won't certify electors for a Democrat presidential candidate. He is clearly and unambiguously saying that he would help steal the 2024 election.
