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.

Maybe we should divert the 65 BILLION dollars sent to an elementary school for drag queen book reading to nuke the Death Star of David? >

Hahaha Death Star of David. That’s a good one >

Hey!  I’m baitin here >

"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 >

Also the guy who attacked Nancy Pelosi's husband with a hammer while screaming where's Nancy. >

Can’t believe I forgot that one >

I believe we need more women in power. I do, however, insist that they be human. >

And have a decent grasp on objective reality (it’s sad that we have to specify that now). >

This is more important to me. I don’t care, I’ll vote for a lizard person or whatever if they believe in climate change action and universal healthcare. >

Truth is lizard people would take better care of their livestock >

They'd also take better care of the climate. Being cold-blooded, predictable weather patterns and temperatures are critical >

Or the lizards have a goal of making a warmer earth >

Oh no, even the lizard people are divided! >

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. >

"If we ran Jan 6, we would have won"
"Here's your gavel" >

Clearly she won >

For now. >

God let’s hope you’re right >

So anyway we put Timothy McVeigh in charge of this day care >

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