This German newspaper article (translated by Deepl) claims that Democrats will defend Johnson against attempts by the right of his party to unseat him as speaker. I don’t know the ins and outs of US politics, therefore I ask: What do you think?
That a handful of extremist republicans can grind the government to a halt, is a sign of how weak the republican party has become.
It literally only takes about the same handful of republicans to work in a bi-partisan fashion to completely neuter the movement and get the government working, but they are all too scared of Trump and his followers, and deciding to retire early instead of tough it out.
None of this is necessary if you just don’t lock arms with the crazies on the most inane shit you don’t even believe in.
