    I always find it weird when they say there is a rising communist, insurrection, or whatever just because a large percentage of the population wants to have more social protections. I don’t care about the terminology they’re using, but it’s a democracy so if the majority of the country wants the vote for this, then there shouldn’t be any problem with it.

      It’s the death throes of a violent animal, the Republican Party. They can’t get what they want, so they’ll destroy us all if it ensures nobody can get what they want.

        Right, but what they want is that nobody else gets what they want, and they don’t realize that their tantrums are seen as tantrums

    SOME of the rigging has collapsed. They have still managed to gain 15 Republican districts across the country for the house. Tennessee and Kentucky have split districts in ways to make black people have nearly no representatives now.

    This is a victory for one aspect, but they’re still cheating fucks getting their way in other places.

    Between now and the midterms expect Trump and his administration to attempt the most extreme and dangerous things to cement their agenda.

      I fully expect multiple ICE raids at polling stations on Election Day in largely democratic areas.

    I love that anytime they do something he doesn’t like he launches into a tirade. He has zero respect for their decisions.
