Gaetz might think MAGA is ascendant but only in the confines of a tightly controlled bubble like the Republicans within the House of Representatives when it wears its members into exhaustion so they'll vote for anyone just to shut up the extremists. Wait until they try to put that extremism into action. The elevation of Johnson to Speaker seals the fate of the Republican Party in 2024. Why? Because women will not continue to be denied and demeaned. The MAGAts just don't get it. There are more of us than them and we'll be sure that reproductive rights are at the top of the list in 2024. Every time they try to fight against it, they have lost since Dobbs. We'll make sure they lose again.

“MAGA is ascendant,” Gaetz told former Trump advisor Steve Bannon, “and if you don’t think that moving from Kevin McCarthy to MAGA Mike Johnson shows the ascendance of this movement, and where the power of the Republican Party truly lies, then you’re not paying attention.” Could there possibly be a more compelling reason to work to ensure a Democratic majority in the House of Representatives than what Gaetz has to say?
