    The Republican party has simply forgotten the difference between doing its jobs and appearing to do its jobs. To them, political reality is indistinguishable from reality. Solving imaginary problems gives them the same sense of accomplishment as solving a real problem, and their first and foundational achievement must always be to retain power.

    So when they impeach Mayorkas for no reason at all, they literally cannot tell the difference between that and actually doing something that matters.

    So is he bad at doing his elected job? Yes. But he and the other GOP members are incapable of realizing, acknowledging or correcting that deficiency. Nothing we can say will make them change.

    It’s not our job to analyze them anymore, or convince them. It’s just to defeat them and take away their power.
