The episode where you discussed McConnell reached conclusions that I disagree with. If he believes the racist patriarchy is what we need, he gets no credit for believing that. That is not the constitution. My opinion is no matter what he tells himself, his actions are for power and money. His hypocrisy ( Garland and post Jan 6) removes all doubt of his real motives.
