I cannot comprehend how people keep voting for Republicans. [View all]

The Repub candidate won the election in TN this week. Yes, I know the Dem candidate did very well considering the district.

While there are Republican majorities the country is unable to hold this traitor president accountable and remove him from office. The damage he has done is inestimable and its not over yet. I can't think of anything more important than removing him from office.

Either Republicans don't understand or they just don't give a fuck.
