Republicans have stolen America. Here's how we get it back

We WILL win back the House in November. The fascist party has pissed off enough people to ensure that.

The moment the new Democratic House is sworn in, the first order of business must be to order an investigation by the FBI into the Kavanaugh hearings. The aim of that investigation must be to find out whether he committed perjury during the hearings.

If he did, the newly Democratic controlled House can impeach him for perjury.

As far as a trial in the Senate, there aren't enough votes to remove him. But it will be one more coffin nail in the image of the Republican Party. And maybe, just maybe, in 2020, when the orange creature is thrown out of the White House, the Democrats may win enough Senate seats to throw Kavanaugh onto the same ash heap of history as Trump.

This may be some wishful thinking. But given the public abuse of power committed by the Republicans, which may border on criminality, one can only hope that there are enough Americans that still care about the survival of democracy in America.

And if that happens, the Republican Party, in its current incarnation, is over. Done. Finished. Dead.

It will be time for a sane opposition party to come into existence.

The alternative to the scenario I've laid out here is a country that will become more and more fascist. And if you're comfortable with that, how far will you go to put a stop to it? And, yes. Their march toward fascism must be ended.
