Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

I’ll be honest, I don’t see how term limits or removing Citizens United suddenly leads to a Republican party of integrity and Patriotism?
I mean it’s not like the Republicans lack enough people to rotate through terms, and a lot of their funding goes through think tanks and “independent” news corporations, to say nothing of the fact that their were Republican majorities before the Citizens United ruling, so I don’t see either effecting the number of Republicans in Congress much nor their ability to overlook the justices they appointed going about unethical stuff in order to further the Congressional majority’s own goals.
Never once used the word suddenly.
I presumed because you were talking about the Supreme Court you meant things that might happen before they all died of old age anyway, but I also don’t see any way how term limits lead to a Republican party of integrity and patriotism slowly either.
Especially not when the party is already run by corporations and think tanks far outside of Congress, and haven’t seemed to have much trouble bringing many of the Congressional Republicans who stood up to Trump on Jan 6 heel or retirement.
