    Keep worrying about the progressives!
    Your real worry should be the independents who actually decide our national elections.
    They're 41% of the voters and the Republicans are pissing them off big time
    Go figure

    Nonsense. 90% of the so called independents vote along a party line. If anything the COVID reaction has driven millions away from the Democrat Party.

And it’s obvious that they intend to do it in blitzkrieg style.

    What will America be like when the scourge arrives? Here are some possibilities:

    > While Biden and the Democrats want democracy to thrive in our nation, Trump and the RRRs will de-democratize our nation.

    > While Biden and the Democrats want to lead us into the future, Trump and the RRRs will “lead” us into the past.

    > Driven by their hatred of government, and driven by their pathological fear of Trump (when he says “Jump!”, they say “How high and how many times?”), and driven by their deification of Trump (he is their “chosen one”, and they worship him), the RRRs will continue Trump’s war on the institutions that make America great (e.g., Obamacare and the agencies for environmental protection, consumer protection, worker protection, and disease control), and his war on the institutions that keep America safe (e.g., Obamacare and the agencies for environmental protection, consumer protection, worker protection, and disease control).

    > Driven by their hatred of programs that help the middle class, the RRRs will ramp-up their war on the middle class. For example, they will do more to undermine Social Security and Medicare. And thus, the RRRs will promote more financial insecurity, and more sickness, for many Americans in the middle class.

    > Driven by their hatred of programs that help the poor, the RRRs will ramp-up their war on the poor. For example, they will do more to undermine Medicaid and food stamps. And thus, the RRRs will promote more sickness, and more hunger, for many needy Americans.

    > Driven by their hatred of Obamacare and Obama, the RRRs will “end” their war on Obamacare. That is, they will repeal that law, and thus deny affordable healthcare to millions of Americans.

    Note: As the last three paragraphs above illustrate, despite the self-righteous claims that many RRRs make about their Christianity, they are actually “Chrinos” (that is, Christians in name only).

    > The RRRs will ramp-up their war on women (and the people associated with those women). That is:
    >> They will repeal Roe v. Wade.
    >> They will give the “bounty hunting” vigilantes more control over the personal lives of women (and the people associated with those women).
    >> And then, the RRRs will focus on birth control. That is:
    * Most forms of birth control will be criminalized. However, abstinence will still be legal.
    * This criminalization will create more job opportunities for “bounty hunting” vigilantes as “bounty hunting birth control” vigilantes.
    * The “bounty hunting birth control” vigilantes will have the power to search our homes, and to seize any evidence of our use of “birth control” measures.

    6> Driven by their fear of a TRUE American democracy, and their desire to appease Trump, the RRRs will continue their two-pronged war on non-pro-Republican voters. That is:

    >> For prong #1, the RRRs will pass more of their so-called “voter integrity” laws:
    * That is, they will pass more laws designed to make it harder for non-pro-Republicans to vote.
    * That is, they will pass more laws designed to impede or prevent the non-pro-Republican vote.
    * That is, they will pass more laws designed to suppress the non-pro-Republican vote (AKA “voter suppression” laws).
    * The RRRs will claim that these laws are designed to combat “voter fraud”, despite the fact that there has been NO EVIDENCE of any significant voter fraud. (Bottom line: These laws will combat IMAGINARY voter fraud.)

    >> For prong #2, the RRRs will pass more of their “election subversion” laws:
    * That is, they will pass more laws designed to allow their (the RRR’s) choice to override the choice of the voters.
    * That is, they will pass more laws designed to allow them RIG future elections in their favor.
    * That is, they will pass more laws designed to allow them to STEAL future elections.
    * The RRRs will claim that these laws are designed to prevent another steal by the Democrats, despite the fact that there is NO EVIDENCE that the 2020 election was stolen by the Democrats. (Bottom line: These laws are designed to prevent the Democrats from doing IMAGINARY steals, by allowing the RRRs to do REAL steals.)

    > Driven by their denial of the truth about Covid, the RRRs will revive Trump’s war on our medical community, and his war on their effort to protect us from Covid:

    >> The RRRs will revive Trump’s efforts to promote hatred for the doctors and healthcare workers who are trying to protect us from the ravages of Covid. That hatred will cause more attacks on those doctors and healthcare workers by people who those doctors and healthcare workers are trying to protect.

    >> The RRRs will pass more pro-Covid laws, and they will repeal more anti-Covid laws. Thus, the RRRs will allow the Covid problem to linger longer than it should, and grow more severe than it should. As a result:
    * More livelihoods and more lives will be lost than necessary (just like there was under the Trump regime).
    * And, more Covid variants will develop. Furthermore:
    - Perhaps the new variants will be deadlier than the variants that preceded them.
    - Perhaps one of the new variants will wipe-out most of the planet. (What a bummer!)
    - Perhaps we should call that variant the “Radical Right Republican variant”, or the “Trump variant” (since he likes to put his name on everything).

    > Driven by their disrespect for truth and science, the RRRs will continue their war on science and scientists. For example:

    >> The RRRs will revive Trump’s efforts to undermine the laws that protect our air and our water. (By the way, that’s the stuff we breathe, drink, and wash our dishes with.)

    >> The RRRs will continue to deny the existence of man-made climate change. Thus, the drastic effects of climate change that we have seen lately may become more drastic and become the norm. That is:
    * The severe and unseasonal tornadoes will get more severe and more frequent.
    * The frequent and severe forest fires will become more frequent and more severe. (AND REMEMBER: You can NOT prevent forest fires by sweeping the forest floors, as the Buffoon-in-Chief suggested.)
    * The severe hurricanes will become more severe. (AND PLEASE: Do NOT criticize the Puerto Ricans for being in the path of so many hurricanes, as the Moron-in-Chief did. It is NOT their fault. If they could move the island, I’m SURE that they would’ve done so a long time ago.)
    * The extreme droughts will become more extreme. Thus:
    - These droughts could cause our reservoirs to dry up. (That could make us VERY thirsty.)
    - Because the agricultural industry relies on an adequate supply of water, these droughts could lead to famine. (That could make us VERY hungry.)
    - And because many other industries rely on an adequate supply of water, these droughts could lead to massive job loss. (That could create VERY long lines at the Unemployment Office.)

    This list could be longer, but I’m going to stop now.

    As we ALL know, Trump and the Radical Right Republicans are making SIGNIFICANT progress with their plans to unleash their scourge on the Americans who love democracy. Hopefully, the pro-democracy forces in our country will be able to peacefully stop that coming Republican scourge. Let’s hope that Biden and the Congressional Democrats (i.e., the party of democracy) will soon be able to pass those two “voting rights” bills that the Congressional Radical Right Republicans (i.e., the party of autocracy) have been blocking for many months now.

    If the pro-democracy forces fail, our democracy will surely die. This will be consistent with the book entitled “Everything Trump Touches Dies” which was written by a Republican strategist.
    then.....bring it or take a different tack.
    Your democracy is about to fall to Republicanism. You have no place to go except to China.
    Notice how CCP lovers always bash Russia?

    News: Rich people paying rich people to tell middle class people to blame poor people.

    They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.

    maybe in your nape of the wave but here in W MI people are sick and tired of Inflation and Excuses.

    I think that you should worry about your own party.

    Are you saying that the Young people in the USA are too stupid to use birth control and want to live in Democrat run hell holes where they don't put violent criminals in Jail and the Gangs shoot up the streets with illegal guns that no laws would prevent?

    I can see where they might be getting pissed at the left for lying to them all the time

    I thought he (meaning the Tweeter) was saying young people are too smart to vote for old men with anti-women bias.

    And, oddly enough, that appears to be the case in the past few elections.
