The GOP from Donnie Rotten on down owns all of this!
From mass school shootings to the broken down healthcare system.
From millions losing their Medicaid to millions losing SNAP who will now go hungry.
From Americans freezing in their homes this winter to climate change driven wild fires burning down our cities.
From FEMA not being ready for the next natural disaster to the CDC imploding.
From streets and public transit hubs being taken over by our military to armed masked thugs from ICE disappearing thousands of people.
From Putin's violent assault on Ukraine to the rest of Europe moving on from us.
I told my wife that the biggest threat to the planet and the well being of humanity is the Republican Party of the United States of America. Their greed, avarice, ignorance, hatred, bigotry and inhumanity will take us all down if we do not take them down first.
We have one last shot at defeating them and bringing all of them to justice and that is the mid-term elections. We MUST do all that we can to ensure we have open, fair and valid elections in 2026.
I'm begging all of you to work your behinds off to make certain that our voices are fully heard next November.
The alternative is just too damn scary to think about it.

PS - the Governor and Assembly race in NJ is not automatically a blue win. We need texters, post card writers, callers THIS November.
The race heats up on Tuesday next week.

(17,729 posts)We cannot allow the messaging to be that it's Trump that's the problem. We have to hang this on every last one of the GOP congress critters and the party itself every chance we can get. We also cannot assume that corporate media will do the same. I am sick of their both siderism schtick. This is a one-sided problem.

This tyrannical nightmare could be over tomorrow if Congressional Republicans obeyed the oath they took to defend the Constitution.
The mantra should be, "Look what THE REPUBLICAN PARTY allows Trump to get away with!"

(4,746 posts)... WONDERFUL to hear someone else articulate the depths of this crisis so clearly, and to state the irrefutable urgency of the need for action, not just sternly worded letters.
I'm with you.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
