Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

Having an ideology and governing style that is something other than Generic Team Red or Generic Team Blue is not "fraudulent".
Also, Charlie Baker is not "basically a Democrat", wtf. Signing stuff the >75% Democratic legislature sends him is basically just triangulation. He's well within the Trump-era Republican mainstream on immigration, he's slashed vocational rehab and nutritional assistance (among other things) and hidden the details of the cuts from the public, he's eliminated Massachusetts's unique-in-the-nation mandatory time and a half pay for Sundays (which I wasn't getting paid when I worked Sundays a couple years ago anyway) as part of a crooked bargain for a minimum wage increase, and his Supreme Judicial Court appointees are all overt right-wingers. He's a cold-blooded plutocrat who happens not to care about abortion or hate gay people, and since this state has a storied history of loving affluent FCBSL Republican Governors beyond all reason, that's enough for almost two-thirds of Massachusetts voters.
