There are so many examples of this that you really have to conclude their very clear intent is to not ever be out of power again.

Do republicans want to set up a situation where every red state gets funding withdrawn because abortion is illegal in the state. That’s where we’re heading here. The explicit coercion is something conservatives once supposedly cared about!

A lot of independent statisticians have looked at the tallied vote results; presidential candidate votes were somehow flipped red on ballots that were otherwise marked blue for all the other contests. How does that ever happen?
2. I hear this, and I start thinking secession is a legit option. If Trump/GOPs defund 21st Century blue states to prop up shitty red ones, why put up with it?
Next will be martial law. Be careful how we protest!!!
WE MUST VOTE!
WE MUST PUSH BACK!!
WE MUST BE LOUD AND IN THEIR EVIL FACES!!!!!
END THE GOP!!
That is obviously their plan. The MAGA SCOTUS ripped up the Voting Rights and the Felon started his coup by using an EO to nullify the 14th Amendment.
Fox, Newsmax, OAN,... are instructing MAGA to attack their enemies.

Nice salute Mr Lee…or are you just raising your hand again to help destroy democracy?
Wonder where they got that idea?
They figure when that happens that Dems will look forward, not backward. Or that a Trump judge will rule against them, & they’ll “respect the constitution” and follow the ruling. Or that even if neither of those happen, that Senate Dems will join the GOP for 67-vote conviction.
Hope they’re wrong about that!
But looking at Schumer and the rest of the caucus, it seems like a good bet!
Bonus points if they ALSO ratfuck California and New York until they build some goddamn housing.
God forbid the children, and the public at large, equate what they’ve read in a book to the world that’s happening around them.
Trump is a "fake giant surrounded by real pygmies." They don't think anything out at all.
But there are even fewer John McCains on the other side of the isle
They’ll run a like Hawley deer in the headlights when it comes to a fight. And Tommy Tubbervillian is twerpy little runt, by the way
"Yeah, but the Democrats will conspire with us to make sure that that 'someone else' never gets anywhere near the levers of power."
law, which is exactly what happened with institutions in Maine
We all know what that means.
All of those crazy antics back then seem like childsplay compared to what got pulled last Fall.
Fascism isn’t any fun if you don’t get to win the rigged races, and kick down the little guy.
Pull funding if abortion is legal in the red state?
Otherwise that makes no sense.
They've always been the party of cutting school lunch programs to fund tax cuts for rich fucks. They've always been the party of white nationalists.
They're now just louder, angrier, stupider, and have less opposition.

And living in a state that is almost exclusively Red despite 40% feeling otherwise… they may pull off the hat trick
#RIGGED
This has been their intention for YEARS!
Republicans haven’t just won, it’s a slaughter. Even when they lose Democrats bend over to get their support.
Even better is if Dems give the GOP something they can take credit for (CARES, CHIPS, BIL, etc).

Once you start, you can’t stop. There is no dictator retirement, because if you give up power, you risk investigation, prosecution, and incarceration (or worse).
Trump’s only path no is dying in office , or exile.
The Trumps do seem to be very Baltic curious.
No R shafting Red states like this plans to hold elections in 2026 or beyond. Unless they are shams.
We need LBJ era congress.
Normally it takes about eight years but they are doing it warp speed. Judges are the only hope.😭😢What do we do?

April 5, everywhere. Even small towns have events planned.
1. They’re delusional about the pre-January 20 state of the nation, believing it to be an apocalypse demanding radical action;
2. They’re delusional about their own popularity;
3. Only then comes the plan never to relinquish power democratically (rationalized through 1).
The whole thing was a setup. Rulebook Dems just stand motionless & let them use our democracy to destroy it.
Too late now.

Stop being a Coward and Orotect Americans from this assault.
Don’t wait for later, don’t wait for confirmation of another act. This is who Donal Trump is and if you think that he will step away after the 4 years I have a few bridges to sell you.
1. yes, the expect not to be out of office
2. they expect that if there is another Obama or Biden, they will go back to Norms, not look back, only look ahead, wash, rinse, repeat
Mostly #1. But they have full faith in #2 as a fallback.
And SCOTUS, of course.

After that, who knows? His mental model of government is that of a privately-owned business, within which the owner is God Almighty, whose word is Law.
They are choosing not to, so assume ALL ARE GUILTY, and treat them accordingly.
