GOP is for lobbyists as they pay for their campaigns.Why GOP votes no on gun control. NRA contributions to GOP campaigns is massive. Look this up. Same as large pharmaceutical companies.
How do we create a better educated, more skeptical voter? The cards are stacked against us. Republicans are way ahead of us in destroying public education
Banning books
School vouchers
Parents attacking or trying to control curriculum.
And probably people born in the '40's.
They had a good run but when we need them to fight to prevent the needless suffering of millions at the hands of vengeful idiots pledged to destroy govt...we get handed a Werther's Original and are told to run along and "vote harder next time"
I’ve been saying that there is no difference between maga and qanon at this point, they are the same. It used to be a fringe group within the party and now it is the party. Insane.
Especially the President of the United States of America. Why don’t we have this in place for the highest position in our country? He’s a felon, rapist, fraud, who stole nuclear/military intelligence docs & 100’s more top secret docs after losing election! FL made sure he got Judge Cannon as Judge.
Maybe we should stop voting for Republicans and incumbent. The Democratics are mostly useless. They have been rolling over and peeing on themselves since Reagan. It's time for real progressives, not the bootlicker for Wall Street and the corporations
Ya think??? Never should have been there in the first place. If swift & proper action had been taken immediately following J6, most of Republican House members & many in the Senate would have been arrested & forced out of congress. We'd be in a whole different place today.
Appeasement to fascism did not work in the 1930s, and we believe it will not work against Trump/MAGA. The Biden-Harris Admin must act now to save democracy. Do not hand over 'the most lethal fighting force in human history' to fascists.
I've been floored ever since 2016...☹️ It's like Something really did happen at the CERN super-duper particle accelerator/collider that sent us into a bizarro version of our world.
I sometimes think we should appoint Congress the same way we select Juries. A group of citizens are chosen at random. Then the two parties can interview them. Each side then removes some to weed out the crazies and extremists. Whoever is left runs Congress.
I think I can speak on behalf of the folks I interact with on here. We don't. But a lot of our neighbors do. And there are apparently more of them that vote.
I don't know how I feel about it anymore honestly...
We could just accept all of his "yes man", "pick-me" bitches and wait 6 months.
They will eat each other alive at the congressional tables. It'll be a Red battle to the A Lago. But they just blame Obama for everything anyway.

I agree, education does matter and it would probably help some of them from drinking the Kool-Aid. But for others, I think no amount of education would make a difference... they just have an evil heart.
Whether they believe in insane conspiracy theories or not, many Republicans are fascist and want to implement fascist policies. Qanon itself is not the main problem, it’s the Republican Party that we have allowed to go too far to the right
Seems like that should be common sense but the “everything that I know should be considered common sense for everyone” crowd lacks basic critical thinking skills
"When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. ...They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people”
I propose a religious test,on the record,asked of every candidate:
Do you believe Jesus is coming back soon? The Rapture?
If yes,good for you,but we need people who plan for the future in government.
Republicans couldn't say no.
Too late now. It’s going to get much worse before it’ll get better with selfish billionaires in charge. Or do we expect an outpouring of empathy from these narcissists?
Gerrymandering does it. I live in NOLA, which is one district (it stretches narrowly 90 miles upriver to Baton Rouge) and the whiter, more conservative suburbs just a mile or two away are another (the odious Scalise).
This is blatant racial gerrymandering. It's part of why crazies are in Congress.
Until we break the addiction to cable news, we aren't doing shit. The brainwashing and gaslighting is extreme, which is how something like Qanon can gain traction in the first place.
QAnon follows people in power like MTG. GOP keeps her because they need her vote. GOP is a corrupt, incompetent, lying party after Trump became sadly Pres in 2016.
Not both parties are severely corrupt. The legislature just passed to keep our government open GOP put in $90 million for Trumps one day inauguration. Yet turned down $190 million for children’s cancer research program. Republican Party way before Trump was halfway decent.Trump loyalist now
Yes, yes, you aren't wrong but you aren't right enough for it to matter anyways. The leadership of the Dem party is absolutely corrupt. Just becUae they still throw us a bone doesn't change that...just means they are the compassionate prison guard instead of the abusive one.
I haven’t paid for cable in years. It’s a rip off. I have wi-fi internet, so much cheaper! I read my news in my phone or I can choose what to watch on YouTube!
Need a PAC
Primary the worst congressional seat-warmers spreading disinformation. Money needs to support private investigations of the QAnon-regurgitators and that information needs to get into voters hands to demonstrate how poorly those constituents have been ‘represented’.
-When money works.
“We”? MAGA voters are not the default. Most of us have NEVER supported the deluded. Please reconsider your wording.
Ex Maybe people should stop sending the QAnon crowd to Congress.

maybe we should start canceling the sponsors

A bit of a discouraging landscape there.

fair - - democrats without a fxcking spine.
How do we know they like us unless they are acting crazy or fighting with us all the time?
Can't be any worse than what we have now.
Darwin’s Theory.
Sit back and watch the shit show.
I know a guy in Jersey.
give some concrete examples of what to do next, please 🇺🇸

Replace "Mexico" with "Republicans"

It is THEM.
THEY bought into conservative fiction, not us.
Still a prison guard...
we're going losing
