A Trifecta of Events to Take Votes Away from the GOP

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2022/03/democrats-can-take-away-votes-from-gops.html

There's January 6th, which is now moving very well and headed in the right direction. It will be hard to stand by the former President once the full scope of his intentions are out there for everyone to see. The arguments that they were just tourists, or that they were patriotic Americans participating in legitimate political debate don't seem to be providing much cover any more. January 6th actually carries the potential of disqualifying FP45 from running for office, and perhaps even more serious penalties can result.

The icing on the cake is how deeply involved Trump was with Putin, helping to accomplish his goal of denigrating and neutralizing the NATO alliance. That's been Putin's goal all along and it's why he didn't go after Ukraine when Trump was in office. If Trump had succeeded in his attempt to subvert the constitution and the peaceful transfer of power following his election loss, Putin's goals would have been achieved and he would have had little to no opposition to taking over all of the former Soviet republics in Europe, along with the former Soviet satellite states.

1. Another event to benefit Democrats may be the elimination of Russian money in our politics.

No more Russian troll farms, no more Russian disinformation campaigns, no more Russian money laundered and delivered through PACs.

How many members of congress attended these parties?
And how many Russian oligarchs funded them?
