but despite their best efforts, Democrats swept the midterms
No, it was because of their best efforts, not despite them.
Voters finally got to see what republicans do when they’re given free rein. They went mask-off, making it undeniable to anyone paying even partial attention how despicable they truly are.
That’s such a great feature.
MAGA pastor calls for violence and intolerance. More news at 11.
He’s so easy to manipulate. Just make him think it’s his idea, slap his name on it, and let him sign yet another bill he didn’t read with cameras flashing and people calling him ‘sir’. Boom, socialism.
Aye, ditch ‘em.
Isn’t this whole article about jettisoning those party leaders? Some of the state leaders are pushing for that now. There’s hope, and we need to support that.
Me too! Love that feature in Voyager. Sooooo many red tags recently.
‘Democratic Socialist’ == ‘commie’ to people who can’t define either socialism or communism.
Thank you for your service. 🫡
Hell yes.
Trump is a figurehead for the Heritage Foundation and a few other accelerationist dominionist groups who will remain in charge even if trump drops dead tomorrow.
Compare their list of names to the ones that show up most often in the Epstein files and think about how motivated they are right now.
e: Do you think Vance of all people will oppose them, who they handpicked for that job?
plan to take over the military
They don’t need to take over the military – they’re already in charge of it. A coup isn’t really 4D chess, either. It’s a well-tread, brute force tactic by fascists, including many of trump’s friends. Thankfully it’s been failing a lot lately, but these lunatics have, until January, nearly unfettered control of the biggest military in the world.
Trump already tried a coup once and got away with it, so he really has no reason not to try again to avoid a power shift that might result in accountability. And he doesn’t need to rely on an ad hoc smattering of fringe militias this time. He’s got the full weight of the US military.
I really hope this is alarmism and they’ll go out with a whimper, but their own history would suggest not.
Thank you. You’re not annoying, and I appreciate you posting this.
Obviously.
I’m in Michigan, and completely disabled. I always do mail in voting because I can’t go to the polls.
They didn’t send me my ballot this year, even though I logged in and made sure a few months ago that I was still enrolled and they’d send it.
So now, the only way I can keep my voice is to physically go vote in person, which I’m not sure I can do.
They’re actively taking votes away from the disabled, in other states. The California thing is bad, but this is happening everywhere.
To be fair, he should be happy about this outcome because discovery would have fucked him.
He’s trying to set everything up to declare martial law or something. No way he’s going to accept the coming blue tsunami. He’s going to make everyone pay for the coming betrayal.
Why do you think?!?
It’s not a mystery.
Ya don’t say.
Meanwhile, some of us can’t afford McDonalds. Or electricity.
Lol WHAT.
Who in their right mind…?
Nevermind. No MAGA is in their right mind. Of all the ludicrous ideas, this is pants-on-head stupid.
