What the RW wants is Gilead from the Handmaids Tale.

If you’ve never seen the show, it’s a takeover of America by “Biblical purists”.
You should watch it, if you’ve never seen an episode.
Just google it to find where it’s streaming that you can access.

"So what", "don't believe it", "who cares", "it doesn't matter" crowd.

So in the last six years, think of all the times that we’ve thought that THIS IS IT.
He’s gone too far for even his most staunch supporters and defenders.
And every time we’ve been wrong.
I’m wondering if there can be ANYTHING that would make at least 25% of his followers leave.
I can’t really think of anything that they would believe and would be so bad to turn them.
It’s past hero worship, cult followings, brainwashing.
It’s a sickness that has stolen so many of the minds of so many of our family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, etc.
I 😢 weep for my country. I really do.

I still hope against hope that the DOJ or the people in Georgia can bring him and many of his sycophantic cronies to some sort of justice or accountability.
I know if you are reading this, that you do too.
Your fellow believer in democracy.

Can you bring a +1 with you to vote?

Here’s my ask of anyone who reads this.
Between now and the November midterms, I am challenging you to find someone that votes for Democrats when they DO vote. However, the person just votes in Presidential years and not the midterms.
I bet we all know at least one person like that.
Your challenge is to get that person to vote in the midterms.
I just accomplished that with a cousin of mine.
Anybody willing?

Will the DOJ subpoena Pence and Meadows.

They are the two biggest fish out there that could put the nail in Trumps coffin, if they were smart enough to turn on him.

Unbelievable take on todays hearings by CNN pundits.

Jamie Gangel and Jake Trapper stated:
Yes, it’s established that Trump was in on the Jan 6 planning.
Yes, he knew about the vigilante groups coming and that they were armed.
Yes, he told them to leave the ellipse and go to the Capitol.
But, then they said “but there’s no real direct link to show his intent for violence there”.

So any legal beagles out there tell if I’m wrong.
If this is the standard to indict someone, would ANY mafia boss ever be prosecuted?

I guess people like Gangel and Tapper only would indict Trump if they found proof where he specifically said that he wanted the mob to storm the Capitol and kill Pence, Pelosi, and any other enemies of his.

Call out the WCHWM and campaign against them.

The WCHWM (White Christian Heterosexual White Men) have always run this country.
Now, they not only want to run it. They want to exclusively run it and take away the rights of anyone who is not a WCHWM.

So, if you are not all 5 of these:
Wealthy
Christian
Heterosexual
White
Men
Then you are a LESSER person in their eyes and you should have no civil rights, human rights, or equal rights other than those that their Autocracy decides that you may have.

If I were running any Democratic campaign, I would sneak in those letters everywhere.
“Stop the autocratic attempted complete takeover of America by the WCHWM’s.”
There is a huge majority of Americans that is NOT a wealthy, Christian, heterosexual, white, male.
Rally them to our side by explaining what giving them even more power than they currently have will mean to the rest of us.

Has anyone seen a series called The Undeclared War

It’s a British series about Russian manipulation of cyberspace against the British.
I’m just three episodes in but it’s pretty good.

Midterms 3's: GOP - Inflation, Gas, Immigration. Dems - Roe, Guns, 1/6.

Political strategists like to boil things down to 3 major issues.
I think it is now fairly clear what each party will campaign on from now until 11/8.
The Republicans will blame Biden and the Dems for high inflation especially on foods, high gas prices, and crime and problems at the border.
Democrats will campaign on restoring abortion rights, passing real gun safety reforms, and labeling Trump and his followers as trying to overthrow the government.

Fiscal Repubs now must "pay up" to religious ones

For so long the chamber of commerce repubs that only care about low taxes and low governmental regulations have used the religious zealots to be their foot soldiers. Many of these very wealthy mostly older white men are now worried that they have to pay the piper. These are people that are not anti abortion or anti gay. In fact, some have paid for abortions and some are gay or have gay family and friends. But to win elections, they needed the anti black, women, gay, choice, etc etc to win elections and keep their low taxes. But now, due to Trumps SCOTUS, the religious right has the POWER and they want a Christian Taliban Theocracy.
That is not what fiscal Republicans want.
They just want low personal and corporate taxes.
So, what happens next?
We are living in unbelievably insane times.
