    If we manage to survive as a democratic republic, there are a lot of fascism enablers who need to be (scrupulously legally) prosecuted for it.

        I need to remain hopeful. For my sanity.

      Democrats don’t have the spine. We need a full slash and burn of oligarchs and politicians

    People should be very concerned about this.

      They’re trying to get ahead of this. Every accusation is a confession.

      There’s too much to be concerned about at this point that it’s a waste of time to keep following what’s happening. We can just assume literally the worst and it’s likely to be true.

        The only thing more contemptible than compliance in advance is surrender in advance.

    We’ll never have fair elections again.

      You think we had fair elections? We vote through an electoral college designed specifically to be a backdoor that can be used to over rule the popular vote. And then there’s gerrymandering.

        This is all without pointing to the very clear coordinated effort to attack the 2024 election

      Never is a long time.

      And what really happens depends on us.

    “The mission of the Voting Rights Section of the DOJ Civil Rights Division is to ensure free, fair, and honest elections unmarred by fraud, errors, or suspicion,” the mission statement declares.

    Funny. It seems to me that they are the ones who have been busily spreading suspicion about all the elections, despite every single investigation resulting in the finding that no, there is no widespread fraud going on.
