What are you doing to prepare for a possible R takeover of Congress?

[Kaleva]

Buying guns and ammo? Getting ready to bug out or go dark if need be? Planning on continuing life as usual?

1. There's not a whole lot we CAN do if that happens.

I might have to walk away from this altogether. I’m sick of being sick in my stomach and heart all the time because of those assholes. What they’re going to do will be unbearable. Especially when complete scumbags like Margie three toes and Dodo Bobo are in positions of power. It’ll be impeachment, deliberately crashing the economy, causing as much pain and misery as possible so they can complete the John Birch fantasy in 2025.

We have to at least hold the Senate. Otherwise forget about everything.

3. I would have to walk away

too. turn off all politics.

I wrote a post here about America being 3 steps from going over a cliff. loss of the house and senate are the first 2. trump would then walk 2 years later, because of all the disenfranchisement policies the new repub majorities would write and pass.

I would tune out politics for good.

6. Even if Republicans take the House and Senate,

they won’t be able to pass any bills. Biden’s veto pen would make sure of it.

[jmowreader]

23. They're not planning to pass any bills

I suspect their game plan is to just investigate and impeach (without success) for two years, then go into 2024 claiming they didn’t do anything because they don’t also have the White House.

[JCMach1]

28. But they can endlessly troll ... Their current SOP

-Impeach and harass Biden
-Shut down the government as the try to kill (name the social program)...

-and much,much more

[UTUSN]

2. "Hello, Darkness, my old friend" says it for me. We've had such bitter losses

throughout our Dem lifetimes... It's a familia numbness.

[Ocelot II]

4. I'm too old to go anywhere; guess I'll just have to deal with whatever happens

and hope the rest of my life doesn't suck too much.

5. Voting nt

[Wednesdays]

7. What are YOU doing to PREVENT a possible R takeover of Congress?

[newdayneeded]

9. we're all gonna vote dem.

Will it be enough? I'm seeing polls showing most women don't give a shit about Roe, that's beyond depressing for me.

[Kaleva]

12. Voting like you and everyone else here.

Basically we are doing what we do every election.

[Wednesdays]

16. People who have money for guns and ammo

have money they could contribute to Democratic campaigns.

Just sayin'.

[Kaleva]

20. I think continueing on like most of us do would be wise.

If Repubs win this cycle, we work hard and contribute as much as we each can for the next election.

[Kaleva]

14. So, are you planning on doing anything different if Repubs win control of the House and/or Senate?

[d_b]

8. Retirement from politics.

I mean if Roe isn’t a motivator…

Plus our Dem leaders don’t have the guts to fight fascism/organized wealth.

[Kaleva]

18. Yes. If the overturning of Roe v. Wade can't get the vote out......?

[d_b]

22. Right?

And their illegitimate Republican Supreme Court isnt even close to being done.

I’m sure our leaders have righteously indignant fundraising emails on standby.




Maybe it’s our fault too — I dunno.

[Elessar Zappa]

10. I'll do what I always do.

Work for Democrats to win the next round. I’m not giving up on the country. I will take a much needed mental health break from politics for a few months after the midterms.

[Kaleva]

13. +1

[GenXer47]

11. stand against the tide

for the rest of my life. I'm tired of being polite to conservatives, and if they take over American life, well, then I'm officially an Agitator, a Rebel, and a Loudmouth.

[brooklynite]

15. What on earth do you mean by those examples?

Are you of the opinion that society will collapse?

Personally, I’ll start focusing on the next election.

[Kaleva]

19. If R's are fascists like some claim, then the examples are apt.

If one doesn't think that, then doing what you plan to do would be appropriate.

[brooklynite]

21. If Rs are fascists as some claim, what good is hiding in your home with a gun?

[Kaleva]

26. I don't really know. A few have commented that they are armed and ready

In a previous thread, a few responded they were going to fight to the death. So I guess that may be why they want or have weapons.

[brooklynite]

27. Just as foolish a comment as conservatives who say...

..."I need my guns because the Government is going to come after my guns."

[Kaleva]

29. I think life will go on pretty much as usual

If I thought there was a serious threat, I wouldn't be posting my thoughts on politics and current events on the internet and I'd keep my views to myself out in the real world

[The Grand Illuminist]

17. People needs to start thinking

if democracy is worth starting a war for.

[Xoan]

24. Not gonna happen.

[beaglelover]

25. Will continue life as normal.

Nothing will really change if they take over the House. Just gridlock and money and time wasting investigations of Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, et al. If they take over both houses of Congress they can do more damage, but that will only harm them in the longer term and we'll sweep in the 2024 elections and have control of both Houses of Congress AND the Presidency.
