Lets be clear. The monsters are everywhere now in the GOP. From Trump the rapist, to gravel pit governors like Noem, to ghouls in statehouses with their total abortion bans, to the literal Nazis marching in West Virginia today.
We must fight to keep the monsters out.

(2,873 posts)because that's what they're doing -right now-... rigging it so they will win. If they don't, then the only way they'll see the loss is that we were better at rigging it than they were. Never mind the truth. I see really bad days coming in November. I know I will NOT accept a trump win, seeing what the scotus and other courts are doing right now to voting rights, and seeing how they're rigging the state election boards. I don't think I'll be alone. And you know, if they lose, the magas will be out with their guns this time. Nope, I thought this morning it's important to enjoy what I can and how I can between now and November. After that, life will change for the worse. Who wins will simply determine for how long the terror will last.

(3,737 posts)But there is still part of me that simply can't believe this is happening in my country. Or at least the country I thought i knew . I always thought the principle of democracy and the importance of citizens voting and having an important say in government was the foundation of our nation. I realize now I was wrong. We seem to be floundering. What is important and what isn't. What do we stand for? Do we stand for anything as a nation? But George is right, the monsters are here. We have to fight to push the monsters out and keep them out. What we used to stand for was important. Actually, more than important. It was about decency and caring for our fellow Americans as well as those yet to come. We used to stand for something. Or at least I thought we did.

(2,602 posts)their desire for spiritual warfare, and that we are not merely mistaken in our beliefs or sinful, rather we (dems) are actual demons to be vanquished by the full forceof divine wrath. Wow, spot on from where I sit. The article also speaks about the religious mobilization behind Jan 6, which was downplayed by the committee, and specifically Liz Cheney. It was and eye opener, and rang true in my gut. These Magats are not bo be resoned with.
