Jessica Riedl 🧀 🇺🇦(@JessicaBRiedl):I cannot imagine being a Republican lawmaker today. You are not allowed to have an independent thought, much less legislate. You are permitted only cult-like devotion to the Dear Leader - and any wrong move will mobilize a cult-like mob of nihilistic primary voters. Why bother?
