Republicans have normalized uncouth behavior

The problem with the Republican party today is that it has no ideas it has become an ultra-right-wing ragtag group of thugs.

Last night President Biden addressed a joint session of Congress. He did so calmly and eloquently, laying out his plans going forward. But Republicans like Boebert and Greene, acted like thugs.

As the camera panned the room, you saw Democrats cheering on our new President, who— in less than three months— has gotten COVID under control. Republicans, on the other hand, feigned sleepiness and boredom. Senator Cruz pretended to fall asleep, knowing full well the cameras would be on him.

Trump normalized uncouth behavior. On the other hand, Biden’s speech last night was a reminder that the America we all know and love (despite its faults) is alive and well. The fake shock from the right last night fell on deaf ears since there was nothing of substance.

Biden is getting things done. He doesn’t care whether you’re on the right or left. His job is to get Americans back to work, ensure that everyone has access to healthcare and that families don’t have to go into financial ruin to raise a child. His infrastructure plan will fix our roads and bridges. His climate plan will move us away from fossil fuels. And his dedication to working on confronting systemic racism is one step in the right direction.

Congresswomen Boebert and Greene, is exactly why we need standards for Federal Election in every State? If a State is going to send someone like Boebert or Greene, to DC that will vote on bills that will affect the Nation, I want to know they were elected fairly, even if they are as dumb as a stump.
