I haven't really been following all that dumbshit too closely, but I've been scrolling past articles about it on Google News app on my phone and hearing people on NPR on the car radio talking about it. As such, I do have opinions, which I will share here.
Firstly, Kevin McCarthy has been a massive piece of shit for a while now, and I don't want him to be Speaker of the House.
Secondly, Donald Trump apparently wants Kevin McCarthy to be Speaker, so that's all the more reason for him to not be.
Thirdly, however, if Kevin McCarthy not being the Speaker means we end up with some even worse QAnon-addled dipshit as Speaker, since it mostly appears to be far-/alt-RWNJs/Trumpanzees who are opposing him (which makes it even odder that Trump himself endorsed him), then... well... I guess I'd rather have Kevin McCarthy in that case, but otherwise, no.
Beyond that, the whole thing doesn't interest me all that much. The fact that the GQP controls the House at all is already asinine and terrible enough.
