Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told Fox's Sean Hannity that Trump "absolutely" would have been sent to prison if he had not won the 2024 election.
Seriously. These guys literally handed the next election to the fascists by not doing anything. And their reactionary voters still think they should be the ones deciding how to proceed in the effort to stop fascism.
The only reason I’m rooting for the democrats is lack of other options. I have zero faith that they will prosecute Trump and his cronies like they should. I wish there was a better option but right now, democrats winning the midterms seems like the only option with a remote chance at improving things in the Untied States
The trouble is democracies naturally tend towards a two party system. If a new party comes along and people vote for them, they’re taking votes away from the party that most aligns with their values. Split votes between democrats and a new left wing party could lead to republicans winning. It would be ideal if a new party could get enough support to overtake both parties, but people are afraid to vote outside the two parties for the reason I’ve described. This is why it’s so hard for the NDP party in Canada to gain seats. A lot of people want to vote NDP but are afraid vote splitting will lead to conservatives winning
We’re at the point where we have to bring out the pitch forks or accept the new regime. There is no sit down and hope it fixes itself. It won’t. The fact that people don’t see this frustrates the hell out of me.

I don’t see an outcome that will change anything if we keep the current two party system and we’re too stubborn to do anything about it.

The question remains, what can we do to fix this?
