      I don’t understand why the republicans want to be in power. Climate change disasters are arriving faster and faster now, who the fuck would want to be responsible for governing during that mess?!?

          Yes. 100% this. To the public, they blame and demonize “the opposition” and pass laws that help get votes. To the insiders within the GOP, they modify laws to make it easier to reroute government money to their inner circle of politicians and businessmen

        Easy, just do what they have always done. Just say the previous admin/party failed to prevent/account for this issue proceed to do nothing about it; put in legislation to make it harder for people to vote against them; stymie any attempts to fix it by saying the other party is trying to sabotage the country; and if they lose their positions of power, say the current admin caused and aren’t fixing the problems your party ignored.
