I truly can’t help but mention at every chance I get how the sleazy republican snake most responsible for the fucked state of affairs known as “US Democracy” today is Mitch McConnell.

I’d like to point out that, at any point, the Republican party could pick someone else to be their spokesperson. They don’t. McConnell is a snake, but he’s also a figurehead and shield for the rest of the Republican party that hides behind him and amplifies him.

And why would they replace him, ya know? He’s a wildly effective tool if your goal is keeping power in the hands of the few aka maintaining the status quo for as long as possible.

He’s helped lead the charge to do such republican bullshittery as stealing a Supreme Court seat, steamrolling an impeachment hearing/disallowing witnesses(????), stocking conservative judges at every level all over the country to threaten basic rights, keeping their pockets lined by billionaires who want to write laws their way so they can keep doing shit like being the worst polluters, meticulously pandering to the lowest common denominators in local elections in order to control state legislatures which then control voting districts which are then gerrymandered to death such that whole giant regions of left leaning populations all over the country have their political power diluted completely aways.

It’s horrifying.
