What is a GOP moderate? They voted the same as every other far right fascist on every other healthcare proposal. Now they're mad about their own votes?

MODERATORS
Republican in a blue state. Usually someone up for reelection.
Purple district*
Also, we're talking about the House where everyone is up for reelection every 2 years.
A fascist facing re-election.
What is a GOP moderate?
Anyone who votes with a Democrat 2% of the time.
They voted the same as every other far right fascist on every other healthcare proposal.
There are Republicans who vote to extract concessions for their local business interests and friends. And then there are Republicans who vote for purely ideological reasons, because they've been pickled by 1000 hours of PragerU videos.
What is a GOP moderate?
It's purely a marketing term.
A low-carb nazi.
Could it be because their constituents will fuck them up if their healthcare premiums skyrocket?
They've got free reign to be as racist/fascist as they want, but they still gotta be careful about healthcare costs.
Conservatives don't give a flying fuck about others, but they love themselves and their own wallets. Which is why it's ironic they they support a tariff tax on Americans, but hey, no one ever accused them of being intelligent.
Could it be because their constituents will fuck them up if their healthcare premiums skyrocket?
Doubtful, since open enrollment already closed and this bill is DOA in the Senate if it manages to make it out of the House anyway. They're just taking the opportunity the Dems who voted to reopen the government handed them to pretend to care about this issue without actually doing anything about it that might threaten their donors' taxbreaks.
"Them Democrats and immigrants done raised your healthcare premiums!" - every single media outlet and politician these guys listen to.
They know full well the Senate won't even hold a vote on it again.
And that's it's so fuckin late the damage is done.
