The backlash will come. I don't know when, but it will be something to behold.

Assuming we're still a functioning country, and that the planet is still inhabitable, Republicans will face a backlash for their actions. The pendulum always shifts.

I want to think that it's happening now, and that we'll see it in full force in 2018. Maybe so, but I've learned to never underestimate the stupidity of a large chunk of the electorate. One thing I do know, however, is that when it does happen, the GOP is gonna be slaughtered.

We just need to hang in and keep fighting.

after waiting 35 years for people to come to their senses and a backlash happens against the republicans and it still has not....well, I am not thinking it will ever happen.
At least not as long as my generation is still voting and in power.

Won't happen until the Millennials take over.

under the pretense of investigating illegal voting

The Greedy Old Pig party is ramping up their efforts because they know they cannot win on their fucked-up, anti-American ideas
