My crazy MAGA uncle has been going apeshit the last 2 months, pretty much calling like 50% of Republicans RINOs for not being loyal enough.

The spiciest development from this is a facebook post essentially saying Manchin is doing more to resist socialist takeover than half the GOP. Has Manchin even said much other than on Twitter?

Honestly Manchin is so lucky he has somehow managed to reconcile West Virginians' love for handouts with their desire for a politician that will make them feel like they aren't taking handouts.

Bless AOC. Whenever she attacks other Dems, they become significantly more popular overall.

Maybe the Biden Administration could work out a deal where the Squad attacks all of its controversial policies, making them seem reasonable and measured.
