1. We had a coup. We had treason.

The Hard Truth Keeps Trickling Out, Little by Little
It increasingly looks like Russian hackers may have affected actual vote totals.

"If the Russian cyber-assault managed to change the vote totals anywhere, then the 2016
presidential election is wholly illegitimate."

[triron]

2. As well as some congressional (particularly Senate) races.

[Botany]

3. Russ Feingold was @ 90%+ chance of winning

McConnell knew ..... how did he know about blocking Merrit Garland for SCOTUS?

Ryan knew ....... "families keep secrets" https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/paul-ryan-keeps-it-family-kevin-mccarthy-russia-trump

Manafort (russian agent) picked Pence to be V.P, http://www.newsweek.com/mike-pence-was-handpicked-paul-manafort-696412

6. McConnell knew.

I'm convinced he knew there would be enough ratfcking to at least have a chance at SCOTUS after the election.

[CrispyQ]

4. And one-third of our fellow citizens don't mind cuz it went their way.

Including the GOP Congress, who has the power to do something, but won't.

5. I'm completely convinced that

The Retrumplicans, faced with the President Obama election and the demographic charts, reached out to any that could help them... including the Russians, to help them stay in power.

Desperate people do desperate things. The 20-40 year projections have them desperate as shit.

I also believe that they thought Donnie Short Fingers would never win and their collaboration and criminal conspiracy would never see the light of day.

It explains why they are acting more like the presidents defense counsel than American representatives.

When this whole story is eventually told, it's going to shake this country to its core

[CrispyQ]

7. It needs to take down the entire upper echelon of the GOP or we'll be down this road again. -nt

8. We executed 2 people for selling out this country to Russia (Soviet Union) in the '50s

Ever since they passed HAVA (help America vote act) we have had a
red state shift in the vote that does not match our changing demographics
and polling about what people want.

South Carolina doesn't pass the smell test to me .... 35% African American
and 10% (and growing) in Hispanics.

9. Totally

And the ongoing treason of the republican party keeps Putin's puppet in power.

[Botany]

10. And Trump's base is kept in the dark by Fox News*

* and my tells me that
Russia is feeding information to Fox.

[workinclasszero]

13. Yes the entire right wing propaganda apparatus is guilty of sedition

And lets not forget Zuckerburg's Facebook feeding stolen info on millions of people to cambridge analytica for Mercer/Bannon weaponization in favor of republicans.
