@gregsargent.bsky.social: vulnerable GOPers will pay a price for walking lockstep with Trump.

Reposted from Greg Sargent

Remarkable: Trump's own pollster just found that in swing House districts, Dems lead by 5 points and voters want tax policy to prioritize working people, per Politico.

Yet GOP is about to brutally slash the safety net and give the rich huge tax cuts!

They will only pay a price if we make them pay a price.

Make the Musk/Trump stink stick to every single local Republican leader starting now.

Do the work to vote every Republican candidate straight to hell starting now.

School board to Senate,
HOLD
ALL
REPUBLICANS
ACCOUNTABLE.

Democrats will not win in 26 under its current milquetoast leadership.

more likely a lot of soft handed dems get primaried by mad-as-hell recently fired federal employees with axes to grind

Good to hear.

Of course, the correct price for *Senate* GOP to pay, for their lockstep confirmations of Hegseth, Gabbard, RFK, Patel, is prison.

This assumes we have elections.
This assumes they are fair.

Trump and Elon steps indicate future elections, if they happen, will be rigged.
Elon is embedding himself for long term.
He is not going anywhere.
He will not relinquish control.

Quinipac has Dems leading generic ballot by 13. I believe that is much closer to fact

The Trump-Musk agenda is ... not popular.

Future elections will be doomed in a myriad of ways: rigged by Starlink, illegally overturned by emboldened county clerks or state officials, registered Dems targeted thru intimidation or selectively “losing” ballots (ex: mail-in ballots), Dems purged from voter rolls, or just suspended altogether.

One must always anticipate the worst case scenario when trying to predict Trump's reactions, which means assuming that he will look at this poll and determine that the best response is to declare a state of emergency, declare martial law and cancel the midterms.

Maybe they'll pay a price, but Trump himself almost certainly won't; he'll simply change his messaging to assert that the "vulnerable" GOPers are the reason for their constituents' misery for not having "strongly" enough supported his aims. This is what he does; it's how he operates. Watch for it.

The odds are good, based on everything we know about them, the Dems will resume fucking up their advantages with their usual bland centrism and association with an inert 40 year status quo.

People in RED STATES must call their reps & TELL them they are damaging the economy & tell them it'll be BAD for their careers in politics! Say they won't be voted for again & that they can't keep cheating in elections like they did this time.They need to know WE know HOW they cheated.

But 2026 almost the entire Democratic leadership will lose this train of thought. They will be correcting spelling and punctuation on the 900 page platform.

That's a hopeful shift, but keep in mind the battle for democracy is happening now, before the next election.

sefarnsworth.bsky.social•11 hours ago

People keep talking about the idea of a fair election over a YEAR from now. Look what they’ve fucked up in one MONTH and tell me you really believe normal elections are happening. We’re in a different paradigm now.

Given the usual threats (primary, etc.) made by DJT to those vulnerable GOPers, they would 'pay the price' either way. I know I, as a voter, would want more stability and more honesty from my reps.
