The Repub candidate won the election in TN this week. Yes, I know the Dem candidate did very well considering the district.
While there are Republican majorities the country is unable to hold this traitor president accountable and remove him from office. The damage he has done is inestimable and its not over yet. I can't think of anything more important than removing him from office.
Either Republicans don't understand or they just don't give a fuck.

(46 posts)The Fox lie machine and hate radio keep feeding the beast.
Rampant racism and ignorance and greed keep it going.
Billions of dollars spent on culture-war political ads against minorities, gun control, etc. add to the propaganda.
And now, the mainstream media have gone from incompetent to fully complicit in the true fascism.

ignorance, and we have the Christo Fascist influence too.
Republicans cheat. They have to because their policies are unpopular.

(6,111 posts)The billionaire-owned mass media has spewed right-wing propaganda for decades. There are simply no liberal, truthful equivalents to Fox "News," Sinclair, etc. Even the major networks we have always considered neutral (ABC,CBS,NBC) are part of the media monopoly and are biased heavily to the right. Humans are gullible and propaganda works.

(25,161 posts)If you ever talk to a Republican voter (MAGA) they don't fly off the page as well educated people with a firm grasp of reality. They come off as deeply stupid and disturbing fuck faces. The 2024 election was deeply disturbing in showing just how many of these people there are. It's scary how many just awful humans live in this country.
