(19,568 posts)Much smarter political minds than Parscale (Idiot in charge) has are working to make this happen. We're so far from out of the woods.
The GOP is viewing this as an apocalyptic end game. They're all hands on deck.

(11,686 posts)We will be just like NK and Russia. NO ONE will have rights. A lot of this world will go down with us. There will never be a vote again. His family will just fall in line as far as ruling this country.
I am happy that Biden is for the most part in the lead. That, however is not enough. Our biggest fight when it comes to election time is making sure outside sources are not meddling in favor of trump like last time and making voting available for all.

NY, CA, WA, OR, MI and the New England states.
Then will come referenda for secession, then secession itself.
The military will fracture.
This will be the most important election since November 1860.
There already is one here in the PNW. I think the assumption is that should Trump win, we're so far past the event horizon that any chance of recovery will be impossible.

(5,183 posts)that is the stark reality. I don't know if this country can limp on like this, pretending that it's time to get back to work, school, socializing, shopping freely. People are fooled into thinking it is ok to run around in the pandemic.
Businesses are sputtering away trying to open up, it just seems like risk is everywhere still.

(2,155 posts)Flip every possible seat blue, from Congress to State House, down to city and county and school board.
Remove the McConnel rubber stamp, eliminate the possibility of any Senate confirmations of unqualified nominees (ie all of them) or ratification of bad (ie all of them) treaties that get sent their way, and maybe start investigating misconduct by current appointees and removing a few of them (don't know that "all of them" is necessary or practical here, though it's a nice dream)

But where in this world would we be "welcomed"?
