    And they won’t actually fulfill them. One thing they learned from the abortion thing is that it’s bad to actually finish the job, because then your side gets complacent, while the other side gets more energized. It’s much better to promise a thing that can never be fully achieved, and then blame the other side when it doesn’t happen. That drives the acceptable level of outrage to keep your side continually engaged.

      yeah abbot literally blamed the deaths of 2 people in the rio grande this week on “Biden’s open border policy”

      Mind boggling especially considering this is like a 40 yr problem at this point and republicans have done literally 0 to solve it.
