Rep. Ken Buck's resignation isn't just tasty fun. It underscores an important truth about MAGA and most authoritarian movements: The people involved hate each other.
It's why fewer than half the GOP caucus showed up for this week's retreat.

They hate each other AND THEY HAVE GUNS. I know how the really nasty part of me hopes this plays out, but if the MAGA Republicans start shooting with real bullets, it's likely innocent people will be hurt.

And this underscores a core truth about MAGA - THERE'S NOTHING THERE. It's a bunch of random whining and stunts to take up the next 30 minutes of air time on Faux News and AM Radio. There is no policy or vision that remotely connects to Real America in 2024. Just vapid BS.

I am young enough to remember when Buck was the whacky tea party fringe.

Can I just say, I really like how you promote these articles (and the pieces themselves)? "You assume you know everything I'm going to say, but here's an angle you might not have anticipated" is sort of like a wholesome version of what clickbait is trying to do.

TFW when your seemingly innocuous and well-directed hate, morphs into "unbridled hate" snarling and nipping at everything around it.

Great and funny article! You got a follow from me. It really is a clown car, these folks have no interest in doing their actual jobs. Do you see anything changing especially since most of these clowns are in safe seats?

"They're just mad that they have to suffer the lives they're seeking to forcibly inflict on the rest of us. This makes me happy, I really do not like Johnson, but am glad he is making fellow Republicans miserable.

Of course they hate each other. They seem to hate everyone, including themselves. (Though obviously they don't hate everyone equally, and they're generally much louder and more active about hating the people they're supposed to hate.)

Conservative relationships are always held together with duct tape and a wish, and the reason they're so fragile is because conservatives don't know how to establish a genuine human bond. They are utterly incapable of forming relationships

Why to read this short article past headlines: You, extremely online, already know Buck's resignation screws over Lauren Boebert.
But there's so much more to this story, including why even MAGA Republicans hate each other.
