Quite the fantasy you have there. This is how authoritarians operate. The MAGA crowd is very reminiscent of the brown shirts in Germany in the 1930s. At this point it is very clear that Jim Jordan is coordinating a campaign to intimidate and abuse any GOP representatives who do not vote for him. The campaign has backfired badly as Jordan loses more votes in each round of voting. Jim Jordan’s allies tried strong-arming his GOP critics. It backfired. “The one thing that will never work with me — if you try to pressure me, if you try to threaten me, then I shut off,” GOP Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart said. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/17/conservative-pressure-jordan-speaker-bid-00122089
Jordan won’t seek third speaker vote, allowing House to empower interim speaker https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/10/19/house-speaker-vote-live/ Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) will not seek an additional speaker vote Thursday, and he will back a plan to give Rep. Patrick T. McHenry (R-N.C.), the temporary speaker, additional powers, according to multiple people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the situation. After two rounds of votes, a group of Republicans had made clear that Jordan did not have enough support to win the speaker’s gavel. With House functions at a standstill, lawmakers can now move forward on a proposal to expand McHenry’s powers. Key updates: Jordan won’t pursue third vote; House will look to expand acting speaker’s powers Are we closer to Speaker McHenry? Opposition to Jordan could grow with additional ballots

Yesterday, I voted to support Jim Jordan’s candidacy for Speaker of the House. I voted for Jim Jordan for the greater good of the House Republican party, based on our Conference meeting and the test Speaker ballot that was cast earlier this week. However, after one round of votes, with my support, he was not able to secure enough votes for the Speaker nomination and my initial concerns about threatening tactics of Jim Jordan’s supporters, including from members of Congress, increased despite assurances. Today, it became abundantly clear early in the roll call vote, that Jim Jordan still did not have the votes necessary to become Speaker. Given the concerns I had before any vote and the ability of the speaker designee to unify the conference, I voted in support of Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Kay Granger to serve as Speaker of the House. I voted for Chairwoman Granger because she has demonstrated great leadership this year by bringing forth, and passing, fiscally responsible, single-subject appropriations bills and is a staunch conservative. However, since my vote in support of Chairwoman Granger, I have received credible death threats and a barrage of threatening calls. The proper authorities have been notified and my office is cooperating fully. https://millermeeks.house.gov/media...eeks-statement-speaker-vote-and-death-threats Republican says he got death threats, its the left's fault.
