Both Republican and Democratic senators emphasize that any successor to Kevin McCarthy will inherit the divided government that befell him — with another shutdown looming.

That may be their plan, but for the first time in my life it feels like nobody is buying that bullshit right now. We have news presenters and reporters actively laughing at Republican representatives when they try to swing the blame, and I feel the public at large understands exactly what's happening.

Their base is still buying their bullshit, though, and they're brainwashed so that won't change soon.

True the base won't change anytime soon, but those aren't the people you try to convince to switch. It's the voters stuck in between.
