Some House Republicans have decided they will oust Speaker Mike Johnson. Reps. Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, among others, argue that the Democrats are already in control of the House by proxy, so make it reality. A sizable segment of the Republican base feels the same way. They lack the imagination to think of reality.
It should be noted, first, this is emotional. We live in post-modern times, and people are no longer rational. People act based on emotion. Part of that emotion is grounded in individuals' truths as opposed to actual truth. When someone insists Mike Johnson is just an agent of the Democrats, they point to the House budget or Ukraine funding and never have to look at the reality of things Johnson has blocked.
It is easy to sell to people obvious things and spin yarns around those obvious things. Johnson, his conservative critics claim, passed a budget that funds abortion. But pay no attention to the House Republicans doing the same thing since before........
