Sometimes I have insight...

Not blowing my own horn. Just this is what I see...

I've been taking a tRump break and so I don't know what the current discussion memes are BUT here is my take:

The Refuks have decided that tRump is there guy. They chosen a vanishing minority reactionary stupid slice of our population. It is time to take them to school. This is NOT the US population nor is it the US population's political nature.

The Refuks have not realized that their party is DEAD so it is now time for us to KILL IT. The next midterms are critical. We have to prove that this is now NOT NORMAL TIMES. The Refuks are dead. Time to for us to put an explanation point on it!!!!!!!

3. Holding BOTH The Senate & House In 2022 Is A MUST!

We're back to being in deep shit if we slide backwards, and give them another taste of power.

If we don't start to kill of the Drumpf party, we're fucked. We may be anyways, because there are too many MORONS here, but if they get control of power again, the future will be bleak.

I'm very worried. I can't go through that shit again so soon.

4. I wouldn't be worried at all, except for the way they're rigging

things for the 2022 election and beyond.

Joe is doing a great job and tackling the things Americans need most. I'm not worried about his popularity.

I'm worried about the aggressive voting suppression going on in red states, whether they went for Trump solidly or flipped.

In Texas there's some very bad bills – and the slimy Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has taken a page out of Trump's playbook and is attacking the opponents of the bills as liars.

Just ONE of the bad provisions would allow partisan poll watchers in the polls, go 'most anywhere and film 'most anything (except voters and their votes). It'd be illegal for election officials to remove them and they'd be entitled to injunctive relief.

Dozens of bad provisions.

6. Is the GOP Finally In Its Death Throes?

Is this why there is so much crime and craziness within their ranks right now? I agree with Chin Music that we can't be lily livered or faint hearted in prosecuting GOP crimes, or in letting the media know that this crime and craziness is totally over the top, and NOT acceptable.

8. No, they will come back strong. We need to be ready. These midterms are crucial.

GOP was in its death throes after Hoover. After Nixon. After W.

Bounced right back every time.

Like a killer in a teen horror movie, the GOP always gets back up.

Even crazier and madder than before.

11. Certainly a worthy goal to word towards!

I don't think a party that can raise billions is all that dead yet, though. If the Kochs of the world are willing and able to fund the ridiculous RW as lavishly as they are, despite the political landscape, imagine the stops they'll pull out if they sense a serious existential threat.
