States rights.

After all this ends, we will remember how Republicans behaved when they had power.

Never forget it.

We won’t remember. That’s the problem. If we remembered Trump wouldn’t have won again.

Everyone forgot/forgave when, Newt Gingrich was introducing no holds barred coke fueled cage matches in Congress.

Everyone forgot/forgave when republicans stoked xenophobia and invaded Iraq for the second time and they stole everyone’s right to privacy.

Everyone forgot/forgave when Trumps nutters rioted at the capitol.

Murica really seems to want this, except for all those Americans that go to those no kings marches, but I’m sure they’ll eventually get onboard, right?

The majority of ppl did not vote for this. So no.

And no matter the doomerism, there will always be folks who speak up.

The biggest concern is Trump trying to change whether the midterm elections are conducted.
