Republicans are pathetic, and they deserve every bit of the assbeating they're about to get in the midterms.

I agree, except for the part where we're going to barely eek out wins left and right. God I hope I'm wrong, but I've been all out of hope for a decade now.

I have good news for you. And terrible news.

Despite republicans doing a wonderful job showing that they are the worst possible governing force, their base does NOT CARE, and will hold their nose while complaining that they "HAD to vote for these terrible candidates to keep from starving under communist sharia law dictators!"

My brother literally texted to me this week "given a choice of two dictators"...

80 million eligible voters sat at home.

We are choosing to be ruled by the moronic

I live in Arkansas where we have nearly 650,000 possible voters who are unregistered. It’s usually due to a severe lack of civil responsibility. They don’t want to be called for jury duty or scared to “gib the gubmint muh infurmayshuns”, like birth certificates, post office, drivers licenses, and social security numbers aren’t already a thing. There’s usually only a 60% - 65% voter turnout as well among the registered voters. The apathy is so real down here.

And 77 million knowingly and willingly voted for a rapist with countless bankruptcies and failed businesses.

You don't have a choice.

You can't count most of them for a presidential election anyway. Only the people who live in swing states matter. Most of the rest of us are just about running up the score on the popular vote that doesn't matter.

He hoped he would be wrong about us barely eeking out wins.

Yay! His wish will be granted!

Between the cheating in advance, the cheating during, the cheating after, and the huge chunk of the populace that is in a literal death cult... I do not expect winning.

We had an open book test for the soul of our nation and failed it in 2024.

I hope I'm wrong. But I doubt it.

The diehard MAGA base is only about 20-25% of the electorate.

Even after the Great Depression hit, there were still about 25-30% still voting for the party that caused it.

bring back social shaming. Fuck it, we have the technology! Post everyone's school records, voting records, income, debt! Let's just lean into the madness, full stop. So sick of everything. Idiots should know their place, or at least let us call them out. They have no shame anyways, so who cares.

Never underestimate the democrats ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
