Ferrets are Cool

I hope I am wrong....terribly wrong, but it seems to me that this election proved one thing

That 2024 will give us more of the same from the repug party. Hate, racism, gerrymandering and lying about your opponent got them 71 million votes in 2020. How likely is it that they will change? I don't see any moderation of the party or the message in my lifetime.

IMO, just one more reason that we cannot let the malfeasance go unpunished. We must prove that NO ONE is above the law.

We are here because of the double standard!

Treat them like a male person of color with a joint in his sock in the 1960's.

junk yard dogs loose in the Justice Dept. He never has to speak of it. All he has to do is approve it in the background. The time for playing nice is OVER.

They are out there and can be marshaled again. 2020 let's me know that America is paying attention.

The Republicans haven't changed. If anything, they've consistently gotten worse. I would expect their descent into barbarism to continue.

2022 should be a real shitshow, too, don't you think?

It is no longer possible for the two parties to use mass media to form public opinion within tacitly agreed upon limits on political discourse.

Yes, the only way things will change is if we make sure that justice is served. kentuck also suggested a similar notion in an earlier thread today. Thank you both for stressing this!
