    We have. Secure the border.

    You guys shot that down, because preventing Biden from having a win was more important.

    You guys pretty much admitted the panic over the border is not a priority, that it’s overblown. It’s just political theater.

    Repeal the NFA. Go hard on crime. Voter ID. Outlaw Abortion (Among some of us, we arent a monolith) Outlaw Puberty Blockers (Again, among some).

    Those are restrictions/undoing things, not actually building anything. Nor do they actually help people.

    Parental rights

    That’s some PR bullshit. All you guys are doing is outing LGBTQ youth, and destroying public education all under the guise of parental rights.

    EVs (Among some)

    What do you mean EVs?

    Enshrine the right to repair.

    Hell, even culture war shit

    Culture war bullshit is not an example of the GOP building something up to help the average American. If you think that was a good example, no wonder the GOP never gets anything real done.

      Just parroting the line doesn’t make it true. The bill was shot down because it was fucking abysmal and wouldn’t actually accomplish anything. It was the bare minimum democrats had to do to try and shift the blame for problems they caused and refuse to fix. Not an actual solution.

        Right. Republicans were demanding it go through until the moment Trump said it was bad. But it was actually the result of it not accomplishing enough. /s

        Quit fooling yourself.

          Up until a week ago nobody knew what was in it, dems were only releasing bullet points. Once people read it they opposed it.

              You can read it for yourself and make your own decisions rather than relying on people who hate America to interpret it for you.

              Don’t worry I won’t rely on you to interpret it for me.

              The 4,000 number that triggers a border close doesn’t close it, it only gives the option to close it.

              (A) DISCRETIONARY ACTIVATION.—The Secretary may activate the border emergency authority if, during a period of 7 consecutive calendar days, there is an average of 4,000 or more aliens who are encountered each day.

              Then there’s the 5000 trigger but naturally there are exceptions.

              © An unaccompanied alien child. (D) An alien who an immigration officer determines, with the approval of a supervisory immigration officer, should be excepted from the border emergency authority based on the totality of the circumstances … (F) An alien who has a valid visa or other lawful permission to enter the United States, including— … (iv) an alien who presents at a port of entry pursuant to a process approved by the Secretary to allow for safe and orderly entry into the United States.

              Even those loopholes were not enough so they made sure they could ignore the mandatory closing.

              Whenever the border emergency authority is activated, the Secretary shall have the authority, in the Secretary’s sole and unreviewable discretion, to summarily remove from and prohibit, in whole or in part, entry into the United States of any alien identified in subsection (a)(3) who is subject to such authority in accordance with this subsection.>

      Gop != all conservatives. Again, not a monolith.

      You guys shot that down, because preventing Biden from having a win was more important.

      That bill would have made it worse.

      What do you mean EVs?

      ElectrIc vehicles. A lot of conservatives hate them and think we shouldnt be subsidizing them.
