And while this "noise" is attracting attention another town in Connecticut was littered with white supremacist flyers like our city was a few months back (BTW NOTHING has ever been done about that "paper assault" upon us)......there is no longer a 'segment' of the gQp associated with book banning, fighting masks and vaccines and even anti-semitism...they are ALL in on it! In closing I FULLY support tolls (over TROLLS) with exemptions for CT drivers. Each surrounding state has them so let's just join in on the revenue (once done the diesel excise can be eliminated).
Tolls have become this weird target that represents…big government? Overreach? I felt the same way when the citizenry burned the then-governor in effigy over a state income tax. Really?
I agree with you on both points. Every Republican is a MAGA wolf, even if they're in sheep's clothing for purposes of getting elected. I've never voted for a Republican and I never will.
Tolls: I drove up to Maine for the first time in years back in April, and was surprised to see all the toll booths on the Mass Pike were gone, replaced by toll gantries. I still had my EZ-Pass from when I lived in New Hampshire, and I sailed through. I read up a little on MA's system, and realized that toll gantries can be strategically placed so as to toll traffic entering the state, and furthermore the technology would allow us to toll only out-of-state trucks and cars if we so decided, affecting CT citizens & commuters not one bit but making the 18-wheelers cover some of the cost of the wear & tear they do to our roads each year. We have the technology, and we should use it to our state's advantage.
With the Fuentes/Ye/Trump confab at Mar-a-Lardo and stuff like this from Ben Proto, the optimist in me imagines the GQP floating on an ice floe melting due to the global warming they deny. The pessimist in me imagines that the rest of us are stuck on the same ice floe.
BTW, I knew Amy Condemnation in high school. She was a real drag.

What YOU said.
The CT GOP, in many ways, reminds me of a group spitting into the wind, getting it back in their faces, and blaming the wind for it.
Their positions and philosophies make zero sense. As Jim Brasile said, they exhaust me.

Ha! Go run a lap for the pun, but ha.
@CTGOP is what happens when a Republican recruits his angry teenager to tweet for him.
It has all the feeling of that, yes.
Keep up the good work. These people exhaust me
There will come a point when even argumentative me will see no redeeming value in staying.
I haven't read enough about it, but several of the former twitterers I followed moved there.
It really is a sewer.
