I understand this possibility, however large swathes of more moderate republicans have already left after Jan 6. I dont think they can increase their base of lunatics. So the only thing they can do is keep the existing crazies energized, and restrict voting rights. Still problematic of course, but to a point. It can help their base shrinking. Midterms will reveal the actual state, of course.

Liz Cheney was a big deal, and now she's a pariah. Mitt Romney was a called a communist in Utah. People are going along with the crazy, or even embracing it. This definitely might end up being bad for the GOP, but my fear is a classic opposition midterm victory leading into a wildcard 2024 election.
Biden didn't defeat American neo-fascism, unfortunately, it'll be back. Maybe I'm being cynical. Hopefully.
This is correct. The victory wasnt as close as it is made to be, however it wasnt the complete annihilation of the right that was necessary to end this fascination with authoritarism.
My hope is in the corporate sponsors, surely these big cats understand that a mini hitler in the oval wont end well for them either.
Marge - still upset AOC wont debate her
Gym Jordan's district (Oh-4) goes from wacky to wackier
Would not be shocked if she eventually gets violent. Besides, southern racists have history of it:

If you read the aftermath of the assault it is eerily close to todays climate.
But, Democrats supported slavery!!!Would not be shocked if she eventually gets violent. Besides, southern racists have history of it:

The flipping of the parties is one of the more fascinating aspects of US Political history
Newt will always be the answer to this.
Probably wouldn’t crack the top 20.
She's definitely at or near the top. Her pal Matt Gaetz wouldn't be far behind.
She's just an idiot like the Boeberts, Gohmerts, et al. Vile cretins are the usual suspects of Cruz, Gingrich, McConnell and ilk.
Modern congresspeople since 1980? Then definitely yes.
But compared to the earlier history of Congress, no way.
I was thinking post-WWII
But I don't even think slave-owners in the early 1800s were worse because she would have been all over that if she lived when someone like John C Calhoun was alive.
I’d go post-WWII as well. Definitely in the argument.
I just did a ‘worst congressmen ever’ Google search. Some quite good articles pop up.
She actually believes what she says. Ted Cruz on the other hand knows he is lying and does it to gain power. Ted for me is worse.
It's an interesting question. Is it worse to actually believe there is a not-so-secret cult of Satan-worshipping, baby-harvesting Democrats and Hollywood celebrities or just being a lying, greedy, self-interested politician willing to appeal to such wing-nuts to stay in power?
Posted this in the ‘Low IQ’ thread highlighting how so many of the right wing mental deficients champion Project Veritas as a beacon of truth.
Truly delusional.
Still boggles my mind how these PV clowns haven't been whacked yet.
James O’Keefe certainly threads the needle & has for quite a few years.
Grass roots vibe...
I wonder how many Americans read stuff like "anti-democratic voter suppression bill" and think it's about the democratic party?
Just seen footage of the Arizona election audit. Press kept at a distance, having to use binoculars to get a good view of what is going on. Guy in a cowboy hat is going around with a cell phone jammer. Auditors using microscopic cameras to check ballots. Auditors being told not to speak to press. Company conducting audit called Cyber Ninja, hired by the Republicans.
Can't help but thinking that, one way or another, the Republicans will find some "evidence" that corroborates The Big Lie.

It kind of is.
It is for sure. I'm just wondering whether some people don't think of it as anti-democratic as much as just anti-that-particular-party and then don't see that much wrong with it.
Pure insanity
If she didn’t look like a blonde Jim Thorpe, she could easily play Glenn Close’s part in ‘Fatal Attraction.’
And again today (one of her people)
Christ, that’s appalling. What a fecking idiotic take.
amazing
Looks like half the country is marching towards the 1960s.
I'd prefer half the voting pop walk off a very high cliff into a cauldron of rock and salt water.
