    Oh they’ve made crystal clear that pandering to their base is all they care about. Anything that helps the country as a whole gains them nothing, thanks to the beet-red color of their constituencies. It must not even benefit the rest of the country and their base, as a matter of fact. No, it must benefit only their base, to everyone else’s detriment, in order for them to give a shit. It’s a zero sum game for them, and we will continuously suffer until their dipshit voting base starts to feel actual, tangible pain as a result of their shortsightedness.
