They don't care about the people.
The don't care about the country.
What does the GOP care about?
They care about their own priorities and their own power to carry out civil rights violations against Americans.
I swear someone needs to us that REALITY of statements as a campaign slogan.

Republicans (click here) used the "defund the police" slogan after George Floyd's murder to paint the Democratic Party as radical. But since the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago, a growing number of GOP candidates and lawmakers are rallying around their own calls to defund or abolish federal law enforcement agencies.
Why it matters: The new demands muddle a narrative embraced by Republicans long before the Black Lives Matter demonstrations of 2020 — that they are the party of law enforcement. They also show how much former President Trump has reshaped his party.Strategists say it could jeopardize the GOP's chances in some contests in November.
The big question: Could this become the new Trump loyalty litmus test?
Driving the news: Dan Bolduc and Bruce Fenton, leading Republican Senate candidates in New Hampshire, said in a recent debate they believe the Department of Homeland Security and top agencies need to be significantly "reduced" and called for abolishing the FBI....
The incarnation of the Koch Brothers. Every citizen in this country should be able to make a difference in an election. These megadonors carry more weight than any other vote. The go into their ballot with the idea they can buy their dream ticket into whatever government office they believe will benefit their interests. If the rest of the country could do that they would, but, the average American might be able to pass on $10 a month to their candidate if they aren't paying for gas to and from work with an artificial cost that benefits Big Oil and its political ambitions.
So, in the long view, who is actually paying the price for the Dark Money and Mega-Hegemony contributors? The American people simply because they aren't able to donate EQUAL amounts to these guys.

Elizabeth (click here) Uihlein (L) and Jacob Peters arrive for the State Dinner at The White House honoring Australian PM Morrison on September 20, 2019 in Washington, DC.
A suburban billionaire and his wife (click here) have contributed millions of dollars to conservative candidates and organizations across Illinois and the nation this election cycle, state and federal records show.
And though senatorial, congressional and gubernatorial hopefuls are among the beneficiaries of Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein's largesse, the Lake Forest couple hasn't limited their contributions to top-of-the-ticket candidates....
...An heir to the Schlitz brewing fortune, Richard Uihlein cofounded the Uline shipping supply company with his wife. He serves as Uline's CEO, and she is the Wisconsin-based company's president. Known to avoid interviews, they couldn't be reached for comment.
Together, the Uihleins have donated millions to well-known and low-profile candidates and groups. The first category includes former President Donald Trump, former Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner and -- after a split with Rauner -- 2018 gubernatorial challenger Jeanne Ives.
The politician who has received the most support from Richard Uihlein this cycle is gubernatorial hopeful Darren Bailey. Uihlein has given Bailey's campaign more than $9 million, Illinois State Board of Elections records indicate.
Uihlein also has donated more than $28 million to an independent committee called the People Who Play By the Rules PAC that targeted Bailey's chief GOP rival, Richard Irvin, in the June primary and now is attacking Pritzker.
This week, Lightfoot accused the group of darkening her skin tone in an anti-Pritzker ad. The group's leader, conservative radio host and longtime Uihlein ally Dan Proft, has denied the accusation....

Governor Pritzer has looked for a special session of the Illinois legislature (click here) to act to support women's decision making regarding their own bodies, but, no surprise here the Republican obstructionists will make that special session impossible. Americans need to elect Democrats this November at the federal and state level. It is just that important. If the Republicans get away with assaulting women's civil rights, they won't stop with a woman's health.
Oh, the Republican GOP/MAGA candidate for Illinois governor, Darren Bailey, has called Chicago every slanderous word he can think of, "hellhole" and the "OK Corral." I wonder fi Bailey is willing to act to end violence in major cities by ending interstate gun trafficking?
