And a major reason America is in such trouble keeping democracy afloat is the GOP putting party before country. The so-called ‘normies‘ in the Republican party are so shitty about how freedom is supposed to operate. Despite the bullshit, a Republican is still a shitheel Republican.
And Wild Bill Barr is an asshole of the highest order, yet still the gut of the MAGA world:

Hoover: “An ideological progressive vs. someone who orchestrated an attack on the Capitol…you still might vote for him?”

Barr: “Hmm hmm.”

They talk about how much they value the Constitution and the Rule of Law, but for Republicans like Barr, it’s ALWAYS party over Country. https://t.co/cVpYYmVJpo
