"We are all domestic terrorists" >

I bring this up as often as possible. It’s the party of domestic terrorism. Jan6, jan6 pipe bomber, Whitmer plot, the guy the attacked an fbi office, the power grid attacks. Not to mention death threats being pretty common place in republican rhetoric. >

Don’t forget the Republican candidate who shot up 6 Democrat houses recently. >

Thank you I’m adding it to the list >

Well, Garland didn't want to go after the insurrectionists like Marge and here we are.
This is the modern Republican party, do you feel their values and goals align with America? 
I sure don't. >

Honestly I think Garland is doing exactly what he was hired to do = Do nothing but pretend like he's doing something until the next election when it can all be swept under the rug. >

How do you sweep something under the rug that has already been the biggest Congressional investigation and biggest Justice Dept investigation since Watergate? If they intended to sweep it under the rug they fucked up. >

You're right but when it comes down to it our politicians will not allow their own kind to go down, No matter how distasteful those people are. >

Denny Hastert got arrested. Trump isn't going to avoid indictment. Whether he's convicted is another question. MTG may have committed a crime but being vocally supportive of an insurrection is not a criminal offense and that's all I know she did for sure. >

Being vocally supportive of insurrection is a crime in certain circumstances, when it “intends to incite or produce imminent lawless action, and the speaker's words or conduct must be likely to produce such action. These requirements are known as the Brandenburg test. (Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444 (1969).”
Also, while not criminal in nature, vocally supporting an insurrection does bar a person from any office of public trust, for life under the 14A, Section 3.  The ‘Aid and Comfort’ rule is a very low bar to run afoul of.   Even just unsuccessfully attempting to do so has disqualified a person. >

If the senate flips in two years and these fucks are still in power…..shits over. >

I'm still in awe at how even the House flipped after the shit show of the past 6 years and literal insurrection that played out live in front of everyone's faces.  Certainly there's gerrymandering, but man, we are a truly dumb nation. >

It's just the political pendulum. 
Other than right after 9/11, midterms always swing very hard to the president's opposition. But Republicans have actually way underperformed compared to what is typical. That's due to Dobbs but also because they are vile and not that popular.
However, they are still getting traction because they've weaponized disinformation and game social media well with scare tactics like the CRT nonsense and the claims that drag shows are sexualizing kids or whatever. Trump did a great job getting low IQ, poorly educated people involved in politics. Now they are voting, and they're voting based on culture war BS and identity politics. 
Republicans are also still benefiting massively from rigging the game. They only control the House due to gerrymandering - they still net 20 free seats just from biased maps. And of course the EC favors them, and the layout of the Senate is the worst of all with Wyoming getting 2 Senators for 500k people and California getting 2 Senators for 40M people. 13 of the 20 smallest states are red (and one, Maine, is essentially split, so Dems only have 6 of the rest). >


midterms always swing very hard to the president's opposition. 

This fact alone is idiotic. I find it quite baffling how people reason "we just voted in a guy, so before he gets a chance to do anything let's vote for his opponents." >

The people who got their president relax too much, and get complacent. The people who oppose that president are terrified and get super motivated to do anything they can to stop them. So the opposition tends to show up way more.
But yeah, it is pretty silly, especially since the main goal of the minority party these days is to stop the majority and not to help America - especially when the minority is Republicans. Dems will vote to do the right thing despite a Republican in office if it's important. But Republicans will sabotage the entire country to make a Dem president look bad - just look at how they are threatening to destroy the US economy by not raising the debt ceiling. Dems would never do that. >

I don’t think we relaxed that much compared to other midterm elections (looking at you, 2010). Republicans barely won the House and it’s been a dysfunctional shitshow since. They’re losing support and our side is realizing just how important elections are. >

The Democrats didn't relax in 2010. They (young people horrified by the Dubya years) voted for Hope and Change, a man that was going to fundamentally change America, and they got a boring neoliberal that didn't change anything, so they didn't care about voting. >

The GOP has lost its soul, morals and values.   It's a total shit-show now. >

The GOP should not be judged as a political party with morals and values to be weighed and balanced, but as a politicized crime syndicate as may be found in many other countries. For example, one does not consider whether the Russian State Mafia has lost its soul. >

Exactly this. The GOP is politically organized crime. >

THANKS Garland! You spineless fuck. >

Republicans haven't figured this out yet, but putting MTG out there as the face of the GOP is a precious gift from Kevin Mccarthy to the democrats.
The GOP looks dumber and crazier every day. >

This is the state of the GOP and yet dems continue to barely hold power or lose outright.  We act like anyone with a brain should see this problem and yet 40% clearly don't and another 20% are swing voters.  
I don't think 60% of america is that dumb.  I think the dem party leadership is absolute garbage at marketing and presenting a clear and reasoned argument.  The GOP has vilified the idea of liberalism for so long, people will vote for anything over dems in many states without consideration for facts or policy.  Dem leadership needs to step up or get out of the damn way. >

No , I work with people in retail. They are that dumb >

It's all a game to the GOP. America is toast. >

And she’s the toaster. >

And we’re the bread. >

Naw, we are just in a bathtub and the GOP are throwing the toaster in the water >

The GOP doesn't care how ridiculous, insane, and hypocritical they look. Insanity is the point. They want people to be angry enough that they stop paying attention to the circus. Less political engagement from people means less oversight from politicians. 
They're already insulated by a nigh-impenetrable media bubble of propaganda and confirmation bias that prevents their fascist and fascist-adjacent followers from holding them accountable. Now they want to drive down "moderate" voter turnout to help their gerrymandered districts keep them in power. All the drama is grease for the gears, and we're heading full speed toward a permanent authoritarian takeover of the government. >

And, we the people, are going to let it happen. It’s a tragedy. >

Voter outreach, and giving people reason to believe they can effect a change is going to be crucial. Sure, there are a lot of factors working against us, but defeatism is jut going to turn into complacency. 
There are a lot of things people can do: Engaging with their social networks about the importance of these issues and the dangerous trends. Voting. Championing decency, respect, and dignity. But also shaming the violent troglodytes and provocateurs trying to sow discord. >

I think the defeatism comes from encountering other Americans' absolutely insane complacency. I can make valid points and argue all day with my parents and extended family (I have) and they will still vote Republican. They make so many circular excuses it's down right certifiable.
Many Americans are just apathetic to the government probably because it's more comfortable that way, realizing we have a fascism problem just made my life worse, it really does seem easier to just stick my head in the sand and pretend everything is fine. Well it would be easier if I was a selfish asshole anyway >

This disgusting moron can’t even string two misinformation sentences together. >

I’ll steal a joke from UCB and say you are setting the bar too high.
For a human this is below par, but for whatever she is -and we’ll need to do a DNA test to confirm- this is really good. >

What a shithole country >

This is what happens when no punishment is ever given. Sure name me a couple staffers that got convicted, who the fuck cares? The ones that matter never have and never will be held accountable for even crimes like attempting a coup. "Time to heal and not be so political". >

Gee I’m sure glad we have Garland in charge to make sure nobody thinks the DOJ is being used as a political tool!
That would be FAR worse than having insurrectionists in powerful positions. >

Welp. America's jumped the shark. >

I kind of think she gets a dopamine rush from posts like this and I wish they would deny her that instead. >

She perjured herself multiple times in her testimony regarding January 6th.
By letting her go without even a slap on the wrist, this is the result. We’re in fucking trouble for not holding these insurrectionists accountable. >

Is this the “deal” she made?  She gets to bang the gavel like a kid at Career Day while McCarthy  runs out to pinch a loaf? >

Large asteroid 2024 >

Some piece of shit from the Lincoln project saying "we warned you" like they weren't the ones that spent 50+ years building a platform for people like MTG. >

I really hope people don't forget MTG is a QANON lunatic, insurrectionist, and a dangerous moron, and they don't let the GQP rehab her image. >

She was a Trump nuzzling January 6th insurrectionist. She wasn't even clever about it because she's a rube and a dullard. She's an insurrectionist and no amount of Newsmax or similar sewer of sophistry outlet will negate that fact. Now the brutish harpy is at the podium in the house.
When you don't bring swift legal justice to psycho Trump and his fascist freak show...this is what you get, his vile spawn....Greene, Boebert, Santos...all of them. >

This week on ow my balls ! >

This is what happens when a wet blanket like McCarthy gives away the store to get the gavel. >

She’s there specifically to get a rise out of people >

I think it’s just to slap AOC in the face after her criticism of their “consistency” and hypocrisy >

She just seems like the kind of person that would enjoy being the commandant of a concentration camp. >

You know that she is loving all that attention people that are horrified, appalled and upset she was speaker pro temp for however long it was. She feeds on that stuff like a parasite. >

Wow. I thought we couldn’t get any worse and….here we are lol >

You know that scene in Harry Potter where Umbridge is introduced to the students and she stands there, awkwardly, waiting to give a little speech, that only she wants to hear? 
Same vibes. >


Her critics, however, expressed the opposite sentiment, summed up with one comment: “We’re in hell.”  

I think this is the wrong reaction, conservatives will only delight in this statement. The better approach would be to remain critically neutral and continue to reproach their shameless behavior. >

Conservatives are a lost cause. I mean that. Once someone crosses into the territory of possibly committing treason you have to understand that they are not to be pandered to or worried about in terms of how you conduct yourself. There is no unifying the united states anymore. Many had the same thoughts before the the civil war, but there was no way to get what was morally necessary without war. >


Conservatives are a lost cause. I mean that. 

Yup. They are in burn it all down mode. Their sole purpose is to prevent any and all progress done by Democrats, The Enemy. They do not want compromise. They do not want to improve the daily lives of people living in America. They are not there to govern. We are past a difference of political opinion. The Republicans have none.

“The solution is that people don’t have to come to work to try to operate trains after they’ve had heart attacks and broken legs. But right now, where we are is caught between shutting down the economy and getting enough Republicans to join us in making sure that people have access to sick leave.” >

The "Jewish space laser" jokes are all really funny until you pull back and look at the context. She was literally blaming evil Jews for the 2018 California wildfires that killed over 100 people.
This is who Republicans are. They would rather scapegoat a minority and blame them for mass death, than face up to the fact that climate change is real.
As climate disasters like the California wildfires start to become more common, it will also be more and more common to start scapegoating poor people and minorities and easy targets like Jews instead of addressing the real issue. This is going to get vicious and it's going to get dangerous. "Space lasers cause wildfires" is the first step down an incredibly ugly road. >

I say fantastic
Let the country see what fucking psychos these people are, I say the more publicity this absolute clownshow gets the better. >

They tried a coupe, it was covered live, it failed, and most of the politicians that supported it got reelected and the President who instigated it is the current GOP front runner for President.
The country knows exactly who these people are and 45% of them love it and demand more of it. >


They tried a coupe

At least it wasn't a sedan.... >

Coupe de state >

Today it's horrifying; tomorrow we're used to it as we focus on that day's atrocities.
The constant slide never ends until it does, for all of us or for all of them. >

It looks like a SNL skit, and she’s about as believable. America is in deep. >

Have faith, if somebody as Ill prepared and ignorant as this women can preside over the US Congress ANYBODY can, only in America!! >

Whenever I potentially get imposter syndrome, I’m going to look at this picture to be reminded that it’s not true. >

The dual-party political system in America is only put in place to divide the people. Look for yourself, think for yourself; most issues don’t need to be classified as either republican nor democratic, they just don’t need to have a label. The reason racism is still perpetuated is as a means of division of the people.
The reason we have narration in certain media as to what religion we should hate this week, is to keep the people divided.
The more and more we feed into these systems, the more wins the capitalists gain, and these politicians are just capitalists and puppets of capitalists.
The problem is, we are way too stupid as a nation to see past these glaringly obvious systems used to keep us in control and to even in some extreme cases incite violence on one another.
Stop being sheep, stop listening to your shitty idiot parents and friends and regurgitating bullshit.
Take a simple sociology class, and at least be tuned into what systems exist within our nation as a means of divide.
Stop being a fucking ignoramus and inciting anger and violence towards people who you don’t agree with.
Start being neutral to people’s beliefs, and try to persuade them under the guise of what is right or wrong, not what is more conservative or liberal.
Fuck dude, we are so stupid. >

George Washington called this centuries ago. He felt that political parties would only serve to divide the nation. This still holds true today with America at breaking point. >

What the fuck have we become? Letting a monkey run a crucial part of our government. >

we're well past that one. We had our POTUS that was a talking orange fueled with diet coke and mcdonalds cheeseburgers.
Bush was a funny monkey. And his handlers knew how to make the monkey dance for our amusement. This shits untamed and uncontrolled bonobos waiting to rip our faces off because they can and nobodies gonna stop them. >

Atlanta native here. Marge has been failing upwards since high school. She was nothing more than a North Fulton gadfly chasing Drag Queens around Alpharetta and spouting QAnon nonsense.

Her and McCarthy are totally fucking. 🤮 >

The Democrats should do everything they can to get Marge up there, give her as much exposure as she's willing to take but refrain from critiquing her.  
Just let her fail organically, when the Democrats attack her her base protects her, if the Democrats just ignore her all she'll have to show is all failure and no culture war >

Shes not failing with their base, shes their hero >

She's not failing because they want her to outrage the Democrats, and she does... So goal accomplished.
If the Democrats just ignored her and quietly pushed her into high visibility failures of her own making the chrome would start to peel pretty quickly >

Can you imagine her sole priority? Funneling all resources into investigating Jewish space lasers? >

Is she wearing a horcrux? She’s wearing a horcrux isn’t she….. >

We most certainly are. >

Convince me she's not fucking McConnell >

After seeing this and so many other instances like it, I no longer feel bad for applying for jobs I am woefully under qualified for. >

So call we finally fucking acknowledge that the Republican party is the party of racists now? >

she has cold dead narcissist eyes >

We’ll finally address those pesky Jewish space lasers! >

This thing represents republicans. Yep >

What a way to make 2024 even easier >

wow republicans has really sunk >

This confirms it, there’s no justice in the US. The mere fact this happening is enough to drive sane people mad. >

As United States Citizens we are victims of a long running shell game. A long con in which the oppressors victimize the unfortunate and point fingers at each other to distract us from revolt.
One party literally tired to over throw the government and literally no one in power has been or will be punished for it.
They will continue to beat our collective heads into the pavement and we will do nothing about it.
