Is this what will finally bring down the Trump era?

Someone pointed out recently that GOP women in elected office and high government offices are used to being exceptions to the rule of women as second class citizens. Now that the GOP has renegged on the deal, and is treating them just like they talk about them, they're spitting mad. A la MTG. Watch out, guys!

We've gotten our hopes up so many times just to be disappointed over and over again.

TAKE AWAY their voting rights!

(yeah, legally that would require reversing a Constitutional amendment---
but they could attempt to do so without one
by using federal forces at polling places to intimidate women---
ICE, federal marshals, national guard, national troops....)

either don't vote, or vote they way their husband tells them.

Some decades ago, my sister-in-law said she wasn't sure it made sense for her to vote since her husband always voted Republican. I pointed out that her vote more or less cancelled his. When I lived in Kansas, even though I was in the blue part of the state, I ALWAYS voted. It could be depressing how few Democrats ran for office. I'm sure Republicans in heavily Blue states feel the same way.

Vote. Vote as if your life depended on it.

And every single person who votes for those idiots, deserves zero sympathy.

7. This alone won't be the thing, but it is clearly a crack in the toilet bowl that is today's MAGA GOP.

Just to add to the fray: the current talk is about Noem being ousted despite Kash's and Hegseth's and RFK's issues. She has been fairly normal for a F-47 appointee and probably a lot more effective than any of those doofuses, but they are men--so she will be out in favor of another man.

This will not go unnoticed.

Pictures of Trump molesting 13 year old girls would certainly be the bridge too far. Even his MAGAts won't countenance that.

Until them we just have to keep hitting him with his assorted crimes until the mountain ultimately crushes him. Eventually I think he will act so crazy that even the cowed MSM will have to notice and speak up. Without Trump MAGA will collapse in a very ugly civil war.

Don't give up the ship.

Republicans and Trump would simply declare them to be fake.

End of discussion.

10. They exist. Never say never. There are hundreds of people in on the secret. It only takes one with a flash drive.

Of course Trump will cry fake. AI can be made to look convincing, but it can't be made real. It can be detected. And finally there is that woman that was that 13 year old girl.

Don't give up the ship. I'm not.
