... 76 circuits around the Sun, and I've seen some really shitty people in high places do some really shitty things to the people they were supposed to serve. Scott Walker is one of the shittiest of the shitty, but that is one crowded category, so he's got some serious competition. These days, Republicans are scrambling to plant their flag atop the political manure pile, and thereby claim the title of Shittiest Person in America.
I can remember a time when it was possible to have Republican friends and just agree to disagree on certain policy issues. Those days are gone. Now I can't fathom how anyone can call themselves a decent person and still subscribe to, let alone try to defend, the obscenely diseased belief system that is conservatism. Their continued embrace of conservatism says nothing good about their judgement or their character.
I recently asked a coworker to list just some of the things that Republicans have done that benefit average Americans, and tax breaks for billionaires don't count. His face got redder and redder... and finally he stalked off without saying a word.
Because there was, and is, nothing that Republicans have done that benefit average Americans. NOTHING. If he'd recited a list of all the things Republicans have done to hurt average Americans, he'd still be yammering away.
The DNC or the Lincoln Project should create a TV ad that makes the glaring comparison of what the Biden Administration has accomplished, versus what Republicans have done. I'd even write it and do the VoiceOver for them.

Audio segments of Biden listing all the things that his administration has done for infrastructure improvement, and anything else they've done, let it fade to background sound as the VoiceOver reinforces the message, and the voice of Biden comes back up with a signature program. The screen goes black, with copy reading, "WHAT HAVE REPUBLICANS DONE FOR YOU LATELY?" Copy fades to black, with 10 seconds of silence ending with a single cricket chirp.

You're welcome.
