2022 midterms may be the last democratic election we ever have in this country

If the repugs get the house and the senate, all their efforts will go to setting up a steal, destroying democracy, making the public angry. Foreign psycops with unlimited money will pour into right wing channels to spew lies. GOP victory in 2024 will mean an effective stealing operation and that will be it for Democracy in this country. Trump will change the 2 term rule and stay in power for life. The rest of the gop will gobble up the left overs as trump enriches his family much as the other dictators around the world do,.

They must think it will be business as usual if we go full-on authoritarian.

I hope that is your point. We're going to see a bunch of GQPers prosecuted or indicted before the 2022 midterms. People who thought they would win are going to lose.

All we have to do is make sure everyone who will vote for a Democrat turns out and votes.

Will you help with that? Posting doom and gloom posts isn't going to help, you know.

I mean, if we don't have free elections, and they take power in a sham election, then their power is not legitimate.
