The fresh Republicans are the ones that have been raised by Tea Party ideals. They’ve heard ‘burn it all down’ so much that they hate Republicans that don’t actually do it. You see this with the group that didn’t want Kevin McCarthy, because he didn’t do enough to burn it down beforehand.
Oh absolutely. Some of the older Republicans knew that this was all just silly political games. They’d blast what a Dem would say during the day and then go out drinking with that same person at night. Many of those old timers were on quite friendly terms but they played the game that the “other side” was the bad guy. Thats simply how politics was done.
This younger group don’t get that. They grew up seeing their Republican heros blast the Left on Fox News. They didn’t know it was mostly just a game. They got radicalized by right wing media and many of them simply can’t be reasoned with because they don’t see politics as a game, they see it as a life-and-death war.
