the GOP wants to end American Secular Egalitarian Representative Democracy, shutting down the House for a week is just fine with them, they want the power to end government, not practice government.

How are people still missing this? 
 @0d9708df @7f07bf0d @098a11ae I believe they want a different kind of government, and one not imagined by the Founding Fathers.

the one imagined by the founding fathers sucked shit because black people only counted as 3/5ths of a human being, and were allowed to be kept as slaves.  miss me with the founding fathers stuff.  republicans are racist, misogynist, homophobic, christian white separatists.  they want the complete destruction of democracy, since democracy itself has a liberal bias.  they have and will attempt to stymie any governing at all.  this is who and what they are
