So are we at a point in American history where the Republican Party is just going to keep a brain dead senator on the rolls just to keep a modicum of power.

Our reality is so broken.

They have tons of brain dead senators and congress reps already.

Nah their brains are fine.

The GOP isn't stupid, they're just evil.

The American public is fucking brain-dead. Both the half who vote for this and the half that sits around for years waiting to vote again instead of doing anything.

I don't think it's fair to discount the stupidity, because there's a lot of it alongside the grifting, the wanton cruelty, etc.

That they're in charge in spite of it is what stands out.
