10. We are past that tipping point

States won't matter for federal elections anymore, the current congress won't count presidential elections if they are not a R and at the very least the House will not acknowledge newly elected Ds - and before people say they can't do it, in theory, yes, but the Supreme Court majority will back their plays when the time comes.

This fight was lost over MANY years ... This has been coming my entire adult life and every time this country enable republican fuck wittery, like Reagen skating Iran Contra, impeaching Clinton over lying over a blowjob, W lying the country into Iraq, the republicans running against their own friggen version of health care to have a sweeping mid term win, McConnell not allowing BHO to seat a SCJ, the line in the sand was eroded more and more, allowing the DT to be a thing.

This not about him, he just hijacked what "conservative" media and the republican party have been incrementally advancing since the mid 70s by giving the "base" the unadulterated hatred they were craving after decades of having it stoked in them the 1000s of Limbaughs and craven pols.
