sorry just saw this. I was referring to mo state politics, not national.
Specifically, that we put policies in place via initiatives that fly in the face of standard R philosophy but then are surprised when the Rs that we also elect (in MO) don’t want to follow through.
Republicans in 2024 ran as economic populists, even though they were lying about it. The Democrats presided over four years of people’s cost of living doubling and tripling, so it only made sense that Republicans pretended to give a shit.
Though people should have 100% expected them to try and undo the abortion rights amendment.

That’s okay.
In this case, the surprise was warranted.
