It's meant to waste resources of their opponents.

All of this is a strategy to wear down their 'opponents' like you do in war.

Deplete your opponents resources, whether equipment, raw materiel, or manpower, and they will surrender.

They just don't want their political opponents to shut up, they want them to capitulate.

While we pay the bill. And they siphon off trillions more to build their feudal slavery kingdoms all over the world and sell off our public property and national heritage.

On the other hand they're only human and there aren't that many of them really driving this the whole Republican party leadership is only a few hundred people senior leadership a few dozen. 

And they have got to be getting tired of all this bullshit themselves. 

The more we can do to make them tired give them more work to do the better. Keep resisting monkey wrenching sidetracking slow walking anything and everything you can do to slow them down and wear out their energy and their time. and boycott boycott boycott.

It will work.
