HOW IN THE FUCK? 1

Can anyone PLEASE tell me how in the fuck people like desatans, boebert, greene, gossar, and rogers keep their jobs!?!? Why aren't they immediately fired and ostracized for saying and doing the things they do? I am completely flabbergasted, disgusted and sickened by these people yet they continue to stay in those positions of power and gaining more power!?!?!? It's absolutely astounding to me why they aren't fucking fired.  
They are all also espousing very religious views and that shouldn't be allowed at all in politics as far as I'm concerned. It makes way for condemning whatever they fancy. I think religion is dying out (it must conform to a new way to stay) and that way is going by the wayside and this is a last gasp for those beliefs and ways and they don't like it because their power and control over people is dwindling.
The net has provided people with information and other ways of obtaining knowledge that was kept from people until they were imprinted and indoctrinated so much bullshit that they couldn't help but feel guilt for rejecting what they know in their hearts and minds is wrong (religious extremism). I really hope these fucking disgusting assholes/close minded/fucktards haven't infiltrated the offices too much so that they can all be weeded out.
Their insidious plan(s) have become all too obvious and now they think they have a majority enough to "take control" to get rid of everyone and anything that does not conform to their way of thinking and being. It's disgusting and sad what they are trying to do. They say look out if we are silenced. I say they better look out if they even think about coming for me and my mate. Locked and loaded here as they like to say. We're moving out of Texas now partly because of this shit and we've only been here less than a year.

Hey I'm with you on a lot of this but be careful you don't fall victim to the same pitfalls as they do. If you are vitriolically condemning people on one side of the spectrum and you want them cancelled at all costs, then you are no better than they are. Someone venomously opposed to any mention of religion are themselves in their own religion of atheism.
I am disgusted by the war on drugs, and all that shit. But what happened to liberals looking out for freedom, individual liberty, free speech. What the fuck happened to the ACLU?
Wish everyone would chill the fuck out, and be normal. Then all us kind centrist normies could chastise the unhinged loonies on both sides here.

Good point. I am fired up by stuff I've been reading lately. The fact some people feel entitled to anything because "religiousness and religion is the truth and only way" is the main problem. I don't condemn religion entirely, just what certain people are using it for to justify the agendas they are pushing. I think religion should morph and change with the times, but it doesn't. It's desperately clinging to outdated and old traditions and ideologies that are only good for one thing and that is condemning change and progress in certain ways and they are scared of it. Change is inevitable. Progress is good. They're prolonging the inevitable. Just like cannabis.

How they keep their jobs? Polarization and gerrymandering. Once a district is gerrymandered and polarized enough to be a safe R seat, then the only competition is in the primaries, and that's where being the craziest pays off.
Democratization of information also plays a part. Back in the day, if you wanted political funding you got it through the party, and toes the party line. Nowadays, you can stir some shit on Twitter and set up a go fund me.
Religion is a little bit more complicated. Religion (of the white variety) has always been treated with preference, and the evangelical revival/silent majority politics made religious affiliation a political statement. Much like how more people identify as evangelical, but fewer actually go to church. Evangelical is shorthand for Republican.

Why can't those extreme people be fired? Why the fuck do they keep their jobs even though they are fucking insane? I know why they love trump so much is because he put religious zealots on the supreme court (it's so god damn fucking obvious) and they are already overturning convictions of jan 6 people and so on. It's just sickening how this is happening.

Because the only way to fire an elected official is to vote them out or have Congress expel them. This ties back to the first problem of gerrymandering and polarization.
To vote someone out in a "safe" district means they need to lose a primary, because the election has already been decided. Primaries tend to have lower turnout, and the people that vote in primaries tend to be much more partisan because normal people are thoroughly conditioned to not care about politics. Again, crazy wins.
To have Congress expel them means that a political party needs to essentially work together to remove one of their own members, and due to the aforementioned craziness, a member that likely has national profile. This may be beneficial to the country as a whole, but it is most definitely not in the interests of their party.

it is the truth of what the usa population consists of. trump being put into office is kinda good because it emboldened a certain kind of people to expose their intentions. religion wont die out under our current societal structures because it is one of the controlling forces of said structures and it does everything to perpetuate that power.

Ahhh, so it's been set up that way for other fucktards who got ousted in the past and wanted their people behind them to stay in no matter what insane inane fucking horse shit they are about, got it. FUUUUCK!!!  
No wonder they are so vocal and cocky. They know they can push the limit and beyond.

Agreed, and it's got to be dying out (MUCH too slow for any real progress or change for now) and that's why they are so bold and shouting the loudest because they see it changing and they do not want that to happen. Too fucking bad! I don't think I'll see the changes necessary for all people to have a voice and be free from their shit, but I can vote and hope for the best.
I'm actually afraid of my and my mates well being here in Texas. There may be a lone wolf type that follows us and targets us for being gay and showing affection in public. This sucks! Does it control me entirely? No, but having to think about it and be cautious is what I grew up with and I'll be fucking damned of I stop.

Here's another absolutely sickening and disgusting example of fucktardness! How the FUUUUUCK!!!
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/the-supreme-court-just-came-perilously-close-to-blowing-up-federal-elections/ar-AAUKKcX?ocid=mailsignout&li=BBnbfcL Republicans appealed both court-draw maps to SCOTUS. They claimed that these plans violated the U.S. Constitution’s elections clause, which says that the “manner” of federal elections “shall be prescribed” by the “legislature.” For at least a century, SCOTUS has read this language to give other organs of state government a say in election law. But conservative scholars have devised a theory known as the “independent state legislature doctrine” that would give legislatures complete control over elections, including voting rules and redistricting. Under this theory, state constitutional provisions governing elections would be null and void, and state courts would have no power to intervene in election disputes. The legislature alone would set the rules—and, in extreme versions of the theory, even dictate the outcome of an election.
The Supreme Court has never endorsed this doctrine, and has explicitly rejected it as recently as 2015. There is a good reason why: It contradicts the original meaning of the elections clause as well as historical practice reaching back to the early days of the republic. A mountain of evidence proves that framers never intended to give states lone authority over federal elections, and instead expected state constitutions to impose substantive limits on election law. Exhaustive research demonstrates that—aside from a few opportunistic arguments raised by congressional partisans in the 19th century—state legislatures, state courts, federal courts, and Congress have all rejected the doctrine for more than two centuries.
And yet, for nearly two decades, the conservative legal movement, working alongside Republican politicians, has pushed relentlessly to enshrine this theory into law. It nearly succeeded during the 2020 election, when Justices Clarence Thomas, Sam Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh deployed the theory in an effort to void thousands of disproportionately Democratic ballots. They failed, but their stance encouraged Republicans to try again this year—hence Monday’s cases.

Another main reason shit is fucked for people. God has nothing to do with politics and should NEVER! https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/why-people-are-flooding-twitter-with-pictures-of-jason-bateman-to-drown-out-news-of-ricky-schroder/ar-AAUJZon?ocid=mailsignout&li=BBnbfcL He harassed the guards, saying “God’s laws are higher than the federal government’s, but you’re going to enforce man’s laws?”

I'm actually surprised those maps didn't get overturned, even though SCOTUS literally just ruled in the last few years that federal courts (and, by extension, SCOTUS) does not have jurisdiction over state electoral maps. I guess that would have been too nakedly partisan.
But yeah, that's pretty standard jockeying for political advantage. Republicans right now only have clear control of the courts, so they will push their agenda through legal judgements.
It also helps that Republicans have a well established right wing organization that is focused on establishing a Republican advantage through the courts. That's why every single one of Trump's court picks came from Federalist Society lists.
If you really wanna see some fucked up partisanship, look at Originalism vs. Textualism. As soon as Originalism was no longer useful for Republican political goals (Originalism can be made very kind to modern second amendment rights), Originalism was immediately dropped in favor of Textualism.

Because elected officials can't be fired, they need to be voted out.
Also because bribes are usually not illegal nowadays.

Hey man, maybe you should just do your best to stop reading the news. Or at least stop reading the click bait bullshit news. I mean like I said, I'm not saying that you are wrong on a lot of these issues, but there is no doubt that a lot of this is written to get people riled up and it's really not healthy or productive to indulge in this shit. Take care!

You sound like you're ready for a taste of the dark side my friend.... Keep religion out of govt They file lawsuits all over the country in order to fight for religious equality and/or to keep it out of govt Their 7 tenets are so much better than the 10 commandments
Religion will not go quietly into the night. The zealots will become louder and more fucking crazy in an attempt to hold on the the dwindling numbers of sheeple willing to swallow such hogwash

Who are the unhinged loonies on the left? Who's the democratic Greene,Gaetz, or Gosar?
I genuinely would like to know, all I ever hear about are the loonies on the right.

I hear you man! I'm just venting here in the moment. I'm a really laid back person and only get fired up when I read the shit. I don't go around every waking moment seething and angry etc. That's a waste of my time and energy. It's just flabbergasting to see the fucking gall and audacity these dog dick sucking fuckfaced fucktard assholes have not to mention the position in those offices that they are supposed to uphold and be "for the people". Yeah, for their people who think/act/dress/talk like they do. Insidious freaks who think they'll turn back the clock. We as a planet will never let that happen, hopefully. They are trying like hell though.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/gops-violent-rhetoric-keeps-getting-worse-%e2%80%94-and-almost-nobody-is-paying-attention/ar-AAUPVmm?li=BBnbfcL In his memorial tribute to author and social activist bell hooks, philosopher George Yancy offered these observations about America in this moment of democracy crisis:
As the US stands on the precipice of undoing its fragile democratic experiment, as we bear witness to massive forms of disinformation, crude and rude political divisiveness, as we witness political cowardice, and as so many kowtow in the face of strongmen — who are actually morally weak, politically inept, and wanting in terms of a critically informed consciousness — I am even more saddened by the profound loss of bell hooks and the ethical and critical standard of courageous speech that her work and praxis exemplified. You see, I am under no illusions.
Like bell, I refuse to be silent. What better way to remember her? This country, one founded upon the enslavement of Black people, the brutalization of their bodies, and the genocide committed against Indigenous people, is moving toward a massive social implosion. And from the spineless and reckless rhetoric and actions carried out at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, it is clear to me that there are many who are so enamored by false gods, idols, and barefaced lies — who have sold their souls to neofascism, and where anti-intellectualism, sycophancy, and lustful hatred are palpably in the air that we breathe — that they are prepared for a form of existential cleansing that will take no prisoners. They are more than ready to see blood run in the streets of this nation predicated on convictions saturated with lies.
