You can say what you want about democrats, HOWEVER...

[Soph0571]

Add The Road to the list now that the horror shit show far right extremist SCOTUS has killed environmental protections, and pretty much there if the GOP get their way. They offer no nope - just destruction and regression.

[Lunabell]

1. And idiots said Hillary was just the same as that orange turd.

If I were to ever see Susan Sarandon in person, I'd be tempted to do something mildly violent. Or at the very least scream, "Murderer!" at her.

[bucolic_frolic]

2. Yes and it really is that bad

[Evolve Dammit]

3. They want to burn it all down, but have no idea what that will actually do. Fools. Dangerous fools.

[Bluethroughu]

10. The Kochs want to be king.

They have a plan, they always do. They've been working it for over 40 years.

The faster we address psychopathic billionaires, the faster we get what we want.

Start with enforcing the Sherman anti-trust act, then tax these fascists the way FDR did, pass laws and fund the country in a way the MAJORITY want.

[OldBaldy1701E]

15. Or, we could just stop worshipping the almighty dollar?

Oh, silly me. I forget which country I am in.

[Bluethroughu]

17. "If you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself." Herman Cain

His money couldn't save him from his stupidity.

Integrity, charity, and happiness are the attributes of the rich.

The monetarily wealthy hate anyone that posess these, because you can't buy it. You either have it or you don't.

[OldBaldy1701E]

18. Exactly.

So, they have fought for decades to remove them from any aspect of our society. And, they have largely succeeded.

[Bluethroughu]

25. No we will win, good always prevails.

And we are way stronger than the fearful envious mediocrity they possess.

[dchill]

28. There's actually only one Koch left to go.

Fingers crossed.

[Bluethroughu]

33. There are actually two brothers left, but one is ok...

The other is a wacko.

Fingers 🤞

[Evolve Dammit]

36. indeed. Bring back the 94% tax rate under Eisenhower (a Repub).

[Cosmocat]

21. YEP

there are SO many people around me, otherwise decent people, who have been completely brainwashed and know full well that the republican party offers nothing but tearing it all down, and they are COMPLETELY on board because LIBERALS.

They have absolutely no capacity to see how it will effect them and their loved ones over time ...

It is just all about the evil liberal boogyman.

[Evolve Dammit]

35. Rush and Fox were hugely successful

[gab13by13]

6. Yes, and domestic oligarchs also fund it.

[The Jungle 1]

5. They know that the demographics are not on their side and getting worse.

This is a desperate attempt to keep the repuke party to remain relevant.
Their message of christofascism and racist hate is not selling.

[gab13by13]

8. It doesn't matter who votes, what matters is who counts the votes.

[The Jungle 1]

9. We have free and fair elections.

[Shipwack]

12. Yes we have... up to this point*.

*(unless you count Bush v. Gore, or how McConnell keeps winning by a landslide when his popularity is 30% or less…)

[John1956PA]

13. As you have said, PA Rethug gubernatorial candidate Mastriano vows to subvert the electoral vote.

You correctly pointed out in another thread that Mastriano has indicated that, if he is elected governor of PA, he will take matters into his own hands if the PA popular presidential vote is for the Democratic candidate, whereupon he will approve an alternate slate of electors who will cast their votes for the Rethug candidate.

[DFW]

34. Stalin's old statement

Attributed to him, anyway:

"Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything."

Also expected to be the law of the Soviet States of America.

[Hugin]

11. Sometimes I wonder if simply campaigning wouldn't be easier than all of these games they play.

Then I remember how filled with hate for anyone even one iota different than the majority of them, the GrOPpers are and I realize they will never be anything resembling a big tent.

They aren’t inclusive because they can’t be inclusive.

Any time they bray about how many of this or that group are supporting them it’s actually even more -isms. They still categorize these people as the others and will turn on them once they feel they are no longer useful.

[Hortensis]

16. Next year SCOTUS will take up a case that would give more authority

to state LEGISLATURES to decide presidential elections. This would presumably be in place for the 2024 election. This is on top of SCOTUS's newly very aggressive actions, no longer cautious or incremental, to use their power to impose a tyranny of a far-right majority.

Presidential historian Michael Beschloss said last night that he's now very worried that 2020 could have been our last free election.

They're not playing games. They can't win fair elections, so they're moving to eliminate them.

[Cosmocat]

23. Yep - that will be end game

nm

[Hortensis]

26. Nothing's end game while we're here "that government of the people,

by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth."

A lapse, if it came to it, would only be that.

[Cosmocat]

31. OK, dude ...

nm

[Icanthinkformyself]

14. The conservative half

of the country wants the dystopian nightmare, as long as it's someone else's nightmare and they are the one's creating it.
It's the pain and it's infliction on the people conservatives hate that it's all about. Conservatism is a disease.

[dchill]

20. Sadly, you are entirely correct.

[dchill]

19. I've been wondering: what IS the actual religion that...

...accounts for and represents everything the GOP, as it were, has actually enacted?

And don't futz with me, I've read most of the Old Testament and all of the New, and I ain't seeing it.

[Hortensis]

27. That's because even the MAGAs have moved away from religion

as a driving force. Their movement is basically secular cultural, and now class, warfare with religious excuses.

[dchill]

29. Religious excuses - oughta be a law against those.

[Hortensis]

30. :) Yes! Right here on earth. The penalties for breaking

God's laws aren't helping us now.

[betsuni]

22. Many "valid criticisms" aren't valid. Accusing them of being the same as Republicans

or doing nothing when they don't have the votes, they're all corrupted by campaign contributions, that there are easy solutions and Democrats refuse to do them, all it takes is the right leadership and messaging and if you just explain things people will understand, Biden promised something.

And on the other side is the dystopian hellscape.

[emulatorloo]

32. +1

[Joinfortmill]

24. Amen
