Asshole is responsible for where we are. He packed the court, and he didn't convict the Chump in 2021 when he had the chance.

McConnell is confusing left and right with authoritarianism as opposed to democracy. What Americans actually don't want is authoritarianism. Granted some do - but so many are confused in the same way McConnell is that I am positive that a commanding majority of Americans do not want authoritarianism. After all, that's what "No Kings" is really about.

People stop thinking and make certain associations. Liberals are communists but we are hard working patriots and don’t believe in no socialism.

mf who once vowed they'd NEVER confirm a Hillary pick for SCOTUS? The one who laughed about TRASHING over a thousand bills designed to help Americans, many bipartisan, sent to his Senate? The one who conspired to make Obama's a one term presidency? Who tried and failed multiple times to kill Obamacare? Who used the filibuster to sabotage the function of government, but conveniently disposed of it to rubber-stamp 3 of Trump's fascist 'justices?'

That Mitch? Right, An unconstitutional, Nazi, one party authoritarian dictatorship, fine. Socialism? Verboten. GFY, Mitch.
