The GOP's obsession with outrage is damaging democracy

yikes, so I just read this article on Wirecutter about how they test and review products and it got me thinking about how we need reliable sources of info and accountability, which is something that’s seriously lacking in the GOP these days. Instead of focusing on actual issues that matter to everyday Americans, like healthcare or education, they’re just obsessed with outrage and sensationalism, which is super damaging to our democracy. I mean, look at how Trump and his allies have twisted facts and spread misinformation, it’s like they’re more interested in creating a spectacle than actually solving problems. It’s frustrating to see this pattern where they prioritize drama over substance, and it really makes you wonder how we can trust leaders who can’t even engage in honest discourse. We need to hold them accountable and demand better, because if we don’t, we’re just letting them undermine the very values that make this country great.

Ah yes, the GOP’s masterclass in outrage. It’s like they’re auditioning for a reality show called “Who Can Scream the Loudest?” Meanwhile, real issues are just sitting there like wallflowers at a dance party.

The GOP really needs to get a grip on reality; it’s like they think outrage is a substitute for actual governance. We’re drowning in a sea of misinformation while they’re busy playing to the lowest common denominator. It’s exhausting to watch them ignore the real issues that affect people’s lives, all for clicks and attention. Honestly, it feels like they’re just throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks, and it’s us who end up paying the price. We deserve better than this circus act.
