Beau says:
McCarthy's struggles with internal factionalism reveal the Republican party's lack of unity and leadership, jeopardizing their future success.

Well, howdy there internet people, it's Beau again.
So today we are going to talk about something
that is likely to cause major issues
for the Republican party in the future
and for the foreseeable future.
And gas stoves, because that has a lot to do with it.
McCarthy had a dream.
His idea, the Speaker of the House,
he thought if he could get through
that whole debt ceiling thing and get a budget through
and all of that, that it would be okay
because they'd be able to move forward
with that very small majority that they have
and rack up some wins on some basic legislation
in the House, get it passed through the House,
that way they can say they did their part.
The problem with that is that that's not happening.
It's not happening because of factionalism.
For years and years, we have talked about
how the Democratic Party is a coalition party.
The reason they don't have unifying messaging
is because they're not unified, right?
And it causes a lot of issues for the Democratic Party.
The Republican Party is starting to fall
into the same situation.
For years, the Republican Party consisted of,
we're status quo.
We are status quo in the 11th Commandment and all that.
don't speak ill of another Republican, so on and so forth.
All they had to do was say change is scary
and should be avoided.
And that's how they want it.
But starting around, I don't know, let's say 2016,
there was a shift.
And the Republican Party started becoming more
and more factionalized and less cohesive.
They didn't agree with each other.
They tried to out-status quo each other and basically become more and more regressive.
So you've got terms like rhino, Republican in name only.
You had the different factions develop, never Trumpers, MAGA, so on and so forth, right?
It is to the point where the Republican party is acknowledging this to themselves, but they're
joking about it.
with the five families, that's what they're calling the different factions.
The factions themselves are becoming further and further apart ideologically because you
have a whole bunch of people who are more interested in social media clicks than presenting
a cohesive front for the Republican Party.
They're trying to show how radical they are in defense of ideas from the 50s.
This is an issue that the Democratic Party has dealt with for a long time, purity testing.
You're not really progressive enough, you're a corporate dim, you're that type of thing.
The Republican Party has been able to avoid that for a really, really long time.
They need somebody who can unify them to get through this.
The problem is, nobody who's announced their run for presidency is capable of doing it.
So you know it's not going to happen for another four years.
And realistically, there's only one person I think is up to the task, and he doesn't
seem to have any interest in doing it.
I don't think you're ever going to get that man out of Georgia.
So you will start to see them attack each other more than they attack Democrats, you
know, the way the Democratic Party does.
They bicker amongst themselves rather than fight for the things that they can agree on.
And it's going to have the same issues.
But Republicans, conservatives, they tend to hold grudges a lot longer.
So you're going to see issues like what just happened with the gas stoves.
I don't even know how this really started, but a Republican, you know, priority is to
stop a ban on gas stoves that, to my knowledge, isn't really happening at the federal level
like that's not on Biden's agenda, but they're definitely going to try to stop it.
And that legislation was a priority for McCarthy. It was something he wanted to get through,
and theoretically they have the votes to do it. However, the MAGA Republicans,
they sabotaged him as payment for the debt ceiling. They didn't get what they wanted,
so they stopped this bill from going through and they did it on like a rule
vote. I want to say that's the first time the majorities lost on a rule vote in
20 years. You're gonna see more of that. You're going to see more infighting
within the Republican Party arguing over who is more authoritarian and more
aggressive is really what it's going to boil down to and I would suggest you're
going to see that for at least four years. It's going to get worse over the
next four years and unless a actual leader emerges within the Republican
Party you'll see it for even longer than that. I don't think there's anybody up to
this task, who is willing to accept it within the Republican Party.
So get ready to watch McCarthy and other Republicans fail where they should win, where they should
have support from their own party.
They're not going to have it over internal feuds.
Anyway, it's just a thought, y'all have a good day.
