The Orange Prick has dominated the last six years of our lives

How? Why?

It seems that hatred is the dominant/controlling emotion of far more human beings, than any of us could have imagined. There are millions of them. (He got 70 million votes in the 2020 election.) The Orange Beast, as ignorant as he is, has an instinct for the throat. The kill. The destruction of reality.

How? Why? He plays to hatred. He feeds it. He nourishes it. He makes the haters feel as though they're right. He makes them feel like victims. He makes them feel that he will deliver what is rightfully theirs. He makes them feel superior. He makes them feel that they matter. He makes them feel that they belong. He makes them the greatest danger to America since the Civil War.

And here we are, six years later, and the Orange Prick is still at the top of the Number 1 Hit List of most news cycles. He still commands attention. He still controls the minds and hatreds of millions. And about three weeks from now, he may influence the votes of millions of fools who will vote for people who will deliver nothing but misery and destruction.

Ignorance, intolerance, bigotry, and hatred of the “Other,” are major factors in this election. If the Republican Party, that has gone totally insane has their way, America will be far down the path toward the death of democracy. If they win the House in a few weeks, does anyone believe they can’t set up a “sure win” in 2024 for those running for the Senate and the presidency?

Let me say this with all the passion I can muster. VOTE. And urge, help, and even carry every Dem you know to get out and Vote. In spite of all their voter suppression, gerrymandering, and perhaps even crimes that we don't know about yet, we still outnumber them. And we can win. Vote!

If the Republicans take the House, they’ll spend the next two years investigating Hunter and impeaching Joe (luckily, it would just be symbolic because the Senate won’t convict).

They will set the agenda. They will peddle lies and distort reality. They will live in fear of the Orange Prick. They will take us down the road to Hell.
