Do Republicans ever legislate? Do they ever introduce legislation that helps working class Americans, the same ones who vote for them, or are they completely servile to the corporate donors, and only interested in appeasing them? They sound like preachers on Sunday morning, but like many preachers, don't actually do anything.
Ted Cruz is the perfect example:
That’s the Republican way these days. So what if there is a natural disaster or a pandemic? Blame the libs, dunk on them, and then go to the beach while Democrats handle the clean-up.

On Cancun and the Insurrection - The Bulwark
The year 2021 has not been kind to Ted Cruz. We’re only two months in and he’s already attracted all sorts of attention—the wrong kind—for his role in inciting an insurrection and then for fleeing to Mexico to escape the hardships imposed by power outages in Texas. At first glance, these two...
