especially when the repression is very brutal, very fast. They'll stand in line to swear a loyalty oath to The Sick Fuck. Human nature isn't greed, it is cowardice.

Outside of Jared Golden in Maine how many Democrats are serving in districts that Harris lost?

7. Been dealing with the white man for more than 80 years, I know how dangerous he is in packs

Especially when he is seeking retribution. I've seen the blind eye turned before. And these were good people. But when push came to shove, they stood with their kind. This was 60 - 70 years ago, but you get my drift. Truth is always truth. The right thing is always the right thing. But I've been there in that jailhouse when good folk looked the other way.

I'm strapped in for the ride until it comes to MY door. Everyone is on their own this go 'round. Not my circus, not my monkeys. I'm in my 80s I don't care any more.

3. The question is, and this goes for the Senate also, can we reasonably really expect enoughrepublicans in the House

and Senate to vote with Democrats on draconian legislation, such as nationalizing an abortion ban, birth control restrictions, abortion drugs, etc.?

I sure wouldn’t bet money on it, and if the Senate gets rid of the filibuster, it would be even worse.

Anyone expecting Congressional republicans to somehow save our Democracy I think are only fooling themselves.

The Supreme Court is gone for decades to come, and frankly I see very little hope for the future in this country.

All the battles for Civil rights, women’s rights, worker’s rights, healthcare, social security, Medicare, the environment, etc. will need to be refought from scratch, and that will take at least a generation if at all for some of it.

THAT will be our only hope to STOP this theft of our Democracy. If not well, we ALL know the answer to that, right?

10. We still do not know what the exact breakdown will be.

A few races either haven't been called or may face recounts. And we we still don't know exactly when the elected members who are resigning to join the administration will be replaced. So I think your question is premature.
