This German newspaper article (translated by Deepl) claims that Democrats will defend Johnson against attempts by the right of his party to unseat him as speaker. I don’t know the ins and outs of US politics, therefore I ask: What do you think?

    Mike Johnson is a religious extremist and a supporter of fascism.

    I mean, is it really a bad thing to let these people devour each other? And more importantly, is Mike Johnson someone to defend just over one vote?

    The fact that he is so vulnerable to the furthest off the rails of his party makes him useful. That they’re keeping him in the position means they can get him to support legislation they want.

    To just toss him aside after one vote would mean no further leaders would be willing to rely on them and go against the most absurd.

    Think of it like a new coalition in government.
