Aren't all these Republican doomsdayers just proving our point?

Keep hearing these scenarios like the Dems cut a deal to get Jefferies as speaker, or McCarthy cuts a deal with the Dems, or some other even more so called moderate/centrist canidate runs as a consensus canidate.

Isn't this basically proving our point? They would rather cave to Democrats than try to work with conservatives with some pretty reasonable/basic requests.

If they are that desperate, that they'd be willing to blow their uni-party cover just to retain power, then I say let them expose this circus for what it really is.

No, but that's how it's being framed by the coordinated outlets that you (and those in your echo chamber) follow.

It's what they call a self fulfilling prophecy. The 20 have framed this to produce just the thought experiment in your head. It's all they have because they are such a small minority they have no real power.

The "GOP and Democrats are the same" meme is one of the dumbest thing ever repeated on this board. It's something that only people who shelter themselves and don't ever actually engage with any Leftists would believe.

The danger of following this stupidity is that you ARE going to allow Leftism more power and more power quickly. Of course, radicals will just spin this within the same meme and the useful idiots will eat it up.

Correct. McCarthy is showing his true self. He has not shown the ability to bring the Republicans, of all cloths, together. He doesn't even appear to be trying either

He needs to withdraw. Otherwise I look forward to this playing out longer

a kind of gaslight version

the 20 want for any member to be able to demand a vote of confidence and then oust the speaker who does or does not do anything the one member has issue with.

the 5 want to run the house for their benefit. be on committees they demand.

and decide what gets done.

What is happening right now is what the dems don't want to happen.. It is putting a monkey wrench in their plans.. Take a look at the articles.. saying the republicans are in disarray and are infighting.. The truth is the republicans ARE infighting so the dems don't get their way.. So the dems don't get investigated..
